The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 137
The reply from White Swan Castle was swift. The falcon used in Yayan stretched its steel-like wings and traversed the skies.
[Got it.]
That single, hastily scribbled phrase was unmistakably addressed to Neris. She wondered whether it was truly proper for the Duke himself to intervene personally in such a matter, but then again, there was nothing strictly wrong with it.
“His Grace is coming in person!”
Lord Draycum, who had suddenly been burdened with receiving numerous unannounced guests and even his liege without any preparation, threw himself into arrangements with a mix of overwhelming emotion and nervous tension.
And not long after, on a day when the sky was unusually blue and the air before the castle gates was thick with the sweet scent of blooming gardenias,
Cledwin arrived, accompanied by an elite detachment of the Platinum Knights.
The knights, clad in summer-weight yet elegant formal uniforms, stood in perfect formation before the entrance of the lord’s manor. The lord rushed out with reverent steps and bowed deeply, his subordinates following suit.
“It is a great honor that you have come in person, Your Grace!”
Cledwin dismounted from his black steed and gave a faint smile. Neris, standing beside the lord, offered a light curtsy.
By etiquette, it would have been equally acceptable for Cledwin to greet either the lord or Neris first. As the people of Maindlant had anticipated, Cledwin addressed Neris first.
“Did you stay safe?”
The MacKinnons, standing apart from the Maindlant group, marveled at the Duke’s appearance—someone they had only heard about in rumors. He was supposed to be cold and cruel, yet this seemed nothing of the sort. In fact, didn’t he seem rather… gentle?
Clearly, rumors couldn’t be trusted. The MacKinnons whispered among themselves along these lines. Talprin, disguised as a servant and blending into the crowd, smiled inwardly.
If Cledwin had brought this many men all the way from Fenmerwick through normal channels, he wouldn’t have arrived so quickly. Most likely, throughout the journey, the Platinum Knights had experienced something so utterly incompatible with the word “gentleness” when it came to their lord.
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.

The male lead being so proud of his wife is honestly adorable, even when he gets jealous.
And the female lead is so elegant and beautiful—I can’t wait to see this scene illustrated
Haha, did the ML really just say that to the FL? He’s so cute when he gets a little jealous.
Can’t wait for next chapter
The ML is so considerate of his wife. He treats her with so much care and gentleness, even when she doesn’t say a word—he just understands her. He’s honestly so perfect, I can’t 😭
I really hope the FL can overcome these painful feelings soon. I can’t bear to watch her suffer this much. 💔
