Derivis frowned slightly before extending his hand to Rosalie. “May I have this dance, my lady?” Rosalie sighed and placed her hand in his, trying to ignore the presence of Bianca and Sarnon nearby. Glancing…
After returning to his residence, Wang Dian did not rush to attend court. Instead, he carefully sorted through and took inventory of the properties under his name.

Part 2 – Episode 26 Two days had passed since I arrived in Brisher and was taking a rest. The hotel bell rang incessantly. “Evacuate, everyone! This is an emergency. Evacuate the hotel immediately!” The source of the sound was the corridor right beyond the door. Judging by the way the bell’s volume fluctuated, it…
Part 2 – Episode 25 Inside a large conference room of the Brisher Hill Hotel. Nearly twenty people were seated facing each other centered around a massive oval table.

Yingsu Square was as bustling as ever. (TL: previously “Yingsu Fang”) Wang Dian leaned against the carriage, listening to the noise outside. He slept drowsily for the entire journey until the carriage stopped at the mansion gate and the driver woke him up. “Daren, we’ve arrived.” Wang Dian slowly opened his eyes, wrapped himself in…
Episode 28 She seemed to be trying to compose her emotions, bowing her head, while I was watching her in cold sweat. I earnestly prayed for this moment to pass quickly. “…By the time everything inside was sorted out and everyone was relieved, another problem arose. There were others who’d been bitten by zombies aside…
Episode 27 I managed to calm her down, but I no longer wanted to speak. I was completely exhausted and just wanted to close my eyes. “…You heard everything from them.” “Yes?” “About my younger brother.” “Ah, not in detail, just roughly…” Her words grabbed my attention which was about to go away and put…
Episode 26 After that, when I brought her outside, people started to swear at her. “Finally out, huh? After causing all that ruckus!” “If you want to die so badly, why didn’t you just follow your brother and die too? Why are you blaming us!” I tightly held her hand and shouted at them. “Get…
Episode 25 I tried to comfort her with various words, but it only seemed to encourage her crying. It felt like it would be better to just keep my mouth shut, so I quietly went to her side and rubbed her back. Why was she suddenly crying? Was she that hungry? Did the food she…
Liang Ye asked this question peculiarly. Wang Dian closed his eyes and sighed, “No.” “Zhen—” Liang Ye was about to speak again when Yun Fu’s voice suddenly announced from outside the door. “Your Majesty, Commander Jiao Yan requests an audience.” Wang Dian didn’t want to go, but Liang Ye wouldn’t let him leave immediately. He…
Snow fell continuously for five or six days. Wang Dian didn’t notice it much during spring and summer, but when winter came, he finally understood why Northern Liang had “Northern” in its name. On a whim, he accompanied Liang Ye to watch the snow, but even wrapped in a thick cloak, he couldn’t escape catching…
Liang Ye was stunned for a moment. As he shifted, he muttered, “Zhen wondered why it felt a bit hard.” Wang Dian raised his numb hand and rubbed it vigorously. Liang Ye extended his paw to help him rub it, asking cheerfully, “What style of wedding attire do you like? Which palace do you prefer?…
Part 2 – Episode 24 There was no time to examine the appearance of my opponent in detail. All I felt was a chilling clarity. This overwhelming presence. The eerie sensation that stimulated all five senses, it was vivid as if I had experienced it just a few days ago. There was no need to…
Part 2 – Episode 23 I looked at the woman standing firmly with an unshakably reliable face, carrying a thickly packed load of luggage that I didn’t know where she had gathered from. “Hey, you.” “Please call me Deschamps, real master!” “…Alright, Deschamps. Do you really plan to follow me?” “Of course. Although I have…
In the great hall, the expressions of the crowd varied. Liang Ye stood firmly on the high platform, and after a long while, he slowly raised his head and walked down the steps one by one. The rest held their breath, their gazes focused on him. He stopped a few feet away from Wang Dian….
It was pitch black in the silent, empty palace corridor. Wang Dian walked quickly forward, only able to hear his own breathing. This was a shortcut to the Imperial Medical Courtyard.
