Hart Southern Inted Archipelago.
A place that shared the sea with the Warden Kingdom, where large and small disputes never ceased.
Pirates aiming at trade ships appeared frequently as well.
With intense heat in the summer, and severe cold continuing for months in winter, Inted Archipelago had a bad reputation among knights.
To survive and return from Inted, they said one must make a deal with the devil or become one himself.
Of course, it was not just because of the foul weather and hostile environment.
“Heh, heh, heh.”
On a cliff overlooking the dark sea, the rough breath of men filled the air.
Were they ambushed?
On the faces of the knights, armed with armor and iron swords, a deep fear of death was draped.
“Survivors! Don’t give up!”
“Hold on with your life!”
Dirtied with mud and sweat, the knights clutched their swords.
A silver flash blinked at the end of their sight.
“Ooh, here it comes…!”
With a single word engulfed in fear, screams started to chaos.
“Squawk!”
“Pplease, spare my life!”
Even the elite knights could not stop the storming silver light.
The last one fell facedown on the battlefield.
The brilliant silver light stopped moving then.
“Pathetic. Very disappointing.”
A woman appeared, stepping over the fallen men.
Her silver hair, scattered by the sea breeze, sparkled like a moonlit waterfall, and her touch on the sword was as smooth as white jade.
With delicate features, and a perfectly balanced body.
More often called a demon than a silver knight, Claudia licked her red lips.
“Twenty of you can’t handle one person. Can you still call yourselves my subordinates?”
“We wwill correct ourselves!”
“If you were knights of the Warden Kingdom, you would all be dead by now.”
“But Commander Haon is no ordinary human, right?”
“Run 300 laps around the training field.”
“You said today’s training would end with a duel!”
“400 laps.”
“We will all die like this!”
“500 laps.”
The color drained from the faces of the knights.
Some gathered the courage to plead.
“Don’t you even pity your subordinates?”
“I’m training you so that you pitiful ones don’t die in battle.”
“This is not a humanly bearable amount of training!”
“You are not humans, but knights guarding the borders of our country.”
“Ah, Commander!”
“I will take the responsibility for wrongly guiding you and run 1,000 laps. Gather your energy.”
Claudia began running around the training field first.
Her stamina seemed endless.
She was unaware of her uniqueness.
Despite her historical talent and diligence, this was why she was called a demon.
The dirtcovered knights murmured.
“Doesn’t the commander seem crazy today?”
“Do you see that pile of wood?”
“Isn’t that firewood? A lot was brought in.”
“It’s the training dummy the commander destroyed this morning. We should consider it dead for a while.”
“Do you have plans to desert?”
“I feel like I’ll have to soon.”
Ignoring her subordinates’ complaints, Claudia gradually increased her pace.
She tried to devote herself to training, but she couldn’t shake her preoccupations.
All the problems started with one letter.
Radia, are you well?
I’m happy you sent a review of “The Empire’s Red Star” even though you’re busy.
As soon as the second volume is published, I’ll send it to the garrison.
Oh, do you remember the spicy pepper I mentioned before?
I really want to get that pepper.
I want to convey my sincere feelings that I haven’t been able to express to someone precious.
What I really want to give is a ring, but I don’t want to burden her.
This time, I want to have the courage. I desperately need your help.
Your friend Douglas.
Claudia, of course, believed that she was that ‘precious person’.
Douglas had finally opened his eyes to true love, escaping from the clutches of the cunning woman, Elizabeth.
Why else would he seek the pepper known for its spiciness?
The approach was a little strange, but the other party was Douglas.
It couldn’t have been easy to confess to a childhood friend with a body dishonored.
‘Did you want to give me the perfect gift by lying? A ring would have been fine too…….’
When wielding a sword, when eating, when lying in bed, Douglas’s gentle smile lingered.
Claudia requested the finest Pimianta pepper from the merchant supplying provisions.
Thinking it would be returned as a confession gift, the redhued peppercorns seemed more precious and beautiful than rubies.
But it was all a misconception.
Thank you, Radia.
I failed to confess, but thanks to you, Elizabeth was pleased.
She has come to like spicy flavors like you. Isn’t that strange?
I was very happy to make her happy even for a moment.
It’s all thanks to you. I’m proud that you’re my friend.
May the blessings of the goddess Morashincia always be with you.
Your friend, Douglas.
Friend.
That single word always obstructed between Claudia and Douglas.
Douglas would never know that he’s taunting my love with his affectionate words.
I rushed toward the cliff.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
