Unable To Escape (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 118
Pals Findley.
He was the father of Ayan Findley, the former Duke of Findley, and the man whose neck Killian severed after he interfered in the Diaz ducal succession war.
Alicia barely remembered seeing his face once during her early childhood and thus knew little about him.
However, from occasional mentions in conversations and surviving records, she understood he had been an exceedingly greedy man.
“Planning to shake the House of Duke Diaz… What on earth do you mean?”
Alicia asked, her eyes fixed on Killian’s tranquil sleeping face as he tightly gripped her wrist.
“Well, it’s not as grand as it sounds. Just the story of a greedy man trying to swindle a foolish one—and failing.”
Pals Findley, unsatisfied with merely serving as a simple duke guarding the western border, sought to swallow the House of Diaz and elevate his own lineage.
The method he chose for this ambition was none other than the numerous illegitimate children of Duke Diaz.
After all, throughout history, bastards who surpassed legitimate heirs had always sown chaos within noble houses.
Pals didn’t intend merely to stir chaos within the Diaz family; he planned to plunge directly into the succession conflict, install a puppet successor who suited his tastes as the next duke, and control everything from behind the scenes.
This scheme was only possible because the then-Duke Diaz was a typical corrupt noble who held authority without fulfilling his duties.
The bastard Pals selected was Killian.
He bore a strong resemblance to the Diaz bloodline, possessed a sharp mind, and had the natural build perfect for wielding a sword.
Moreover, his mother was driven by the desire to secure a proper stepping stone for her exceptionally talented son.
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…
