To The Eternal Knight (2 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 237
At the Emperor’s urging, Nerea and Alejandro took seats before the table.
Though she appeared to have much she wished to say, the Emperor briefly thought—perhaps this conversation might proceed smoothly after all—seeing that she at least obeyed his command.
But no sooner had the Chief Steward served tea and departed than Nerea Esteban spoke.
“Your Imperial Majesty, I dare not presume to fathom the intentions behind bestowing upon me the title of Grand Duke. Yet your goodwill alone is more than enough for me.”
The Emperor swallowed a dry chuckle.
It was as if she had sat down merely to catch her breath after his earlier words.
He had grown accustomed in recent days to the roundabout speech of nobles, but this surpassed even that. Nerea was speaking with the utmost courtesy.
“Moreover, Valer territory is surely a precious domain, one deeply cherished by Your Majesty.”
She was refusing the Grand Duke title.
Hearing her voice—concerned for him, yet brimming with sincerity—the Emperor shrugged and lifted his teacup. With a faint, relaxed smile on his lips, he said,
“Your formal refusal is duly noted. Now, just speak plainly.”
“Please withdraw your command. I don’t wish to work.”
At her immediate reply, the Emperor gave a bitter smile. Now this was the Nerea Esteban he knew. Alejandro Rosa, seemingly sharing the same thought, also curved his lips gracefully.
Though Alejandro possessed striking beauty, he clearly wouldn’t aid in persuasion. The Emperor took a light breath and adjusted his posture.
“Work? If you become Grand Duke, you’ll be far removed from official duties, living freely and leisurely. What work are you referring to?”
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.
