To The Eternal Knight (2 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 162
The moment he voiced his utter bewilderment, the Emperor forced a smile. Clearly, something must have been wrongly reported. Punishing the Chief Steward for delivering false news at such a critical time was not the priority.
“Are you not supposed to confirm where Esteban is and report directly to me? Wasn’t Count Rosa spotted near the trading company just a few hours ago? Surely that knight wouldn’t be foolish enough to abandon his sworn squire, betraying his honor.”
Just a few hours ago, he had clearly received reports on the last known whereabouts of the Grand Duke, Count Esteban, and Count Rosa.
Unlike the Grand Duke and Count Esteban, who seemed to be secluded in their respective mansions, Count Rosa had definitely been seen near the trading company, which had at least offered some reassurance.
Suddenly, the Emperor jerked his head up.
“By the way, who exactly provided this erroneous information? Surely it isn’t a telegram from the Knight Commander?”
“With all due humility, Your Majesty—the one who sent this information is precisely ‘that person.’”
Instantly, the Emperor’s smile vanished. Unable to meet his gaze, the Chief Steward carefully extended the telegram he’d been holding.
He had expected a barrage of questions, yet the Emperor remained silent. To fill the oppressive quiet, the Chief Steward spoke again.
“My sincerest apologies. Since the letter was addressed to me, I failed to consider presenting it directly to Your Majesty and read it myself first. According to the telegram, ‘that person’ urgently requests an audience with Your Majesty,”
“What?”
At that instant, the Chief Steward halted mid-sentence under the Emperor’s threatening glare. A single glance at the Emperor’s fierce eyes sent a shiver down his spine. In the brief silence, the Emperor spoke softly.
“‘That person’? That’s been gnawing at me since earlier.”
Each word from the Emperor rumbled out as though chewed and spat with fury.
“Between you and me, there is only one man referred to as ‘that person.’ How dare the disgraced prince of a fallen kingdom request to see me! Could it be that the wretched prince has emerged from hiding somewhere and now seeks an audience?”
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.
