To The Eternal Knight (2 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 87
She’s a bastard.
The languid utterance echoed like tinnitus in his ears, and his heart dropped with a thud. Unable to control his expression, Edward clenched his teeth. The tight pull across his cheeks felt strangely new.
Just ten years ago, that was the phrase that always trailed him like a shadow within the Imperial Palace.
Now, no matter that it pointed to the Crown Princess, hearing it spoken so directly before his eyes brought surging memories of the past. Countless slights that once crushed and suffocated him swirled all at once.
He wanted to flare up in anger. An impulse rose to shout, “Because I treated you kindly out of guilt over the Hundred Years’ War, you dare climb up my back?”
So he raised his head.
Strangely, the moment he saw Count Esteban’s face, the rage that had shot up to the top of his head gradually cooled.
How odd.
It wasn’t like Count Illautzer, who fidgeted nervously and watched his every cue—instead, she was smiling faintly, as if calmly assessing her own state. And seeing that pale, serene face made his anger subside.
The Grand Duke pursed his lips several times, carefully choosing his words.
Words that would appear calm and make it seem as though Nerea’s statement had struck no chord in him at all.
“…Do you truly believe Gabe Esteban will reveal that truth to the entire world?”
Nerea gave a pale smile.
Clearly, he saw sparks flash in her hazel eyes—but right now, the Grand Duke examined her with a composure surpassing anyone else’s.
He was utterly unlike the Crown Prince, who had pretended kindness but couldn’t even control his fury when slightly provoked. This demeanor must surely be one of the many reasons Count Illautzer followed the Grand Duke so loyally.
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.
