Chapter 496 Fulfilling Your Wish

Understanding the urgency in Lord Lin's words, Xu Zhen hastily shot a signal arrow into the distance. The distant woods immediately rustled with noise as numerous soldiers hidden in the shadows swiftly emerged and retreated.

"Husband, why are we pulling back our troops?" Qin Xian'er inquired, echoing Xu Zhen's own thoughts.

Lin Wanrong wore a solemn expression as he pointed to the billowing smoke in the north, slowly saying, ...

"Planting explosives? Excellent, that will surely liven things up." Gao Qiu clapped his hands in delight and quickly dispatched a few nimble underlings to spread rumors and prepare the explosives.

Lin Wanrong nodded, then abruptly asked, "Brother Gao, how is the perimeter defense outside the city?"

"Don't you worry," Gao Qiu grinned. "Lord Xu is personally overseeing it. Following your instructions, we've scattered our format...

"So it was actually 6,000 taels," Gao Qiu patted his own head, his face flushed with shame. "Look at my memory, how could I have mistakenly calculated an excess of more than 20,000 taels? Truly disgraceful. Brother Lin, you are a paragon of nobility and integrity, a role model for us all."

Qin Xian'er couldn't take it anymore. She glared at Gao Qiu and snapped, "Commander Gao, are you pretending I don't exist? We...

"Good news indeed. I'm exceptionally pleased as the Commander of the Cavalry that there's so much interest in this event for our Cavalry," Kishiar said with a bright smile. Just by looking at his face, one would think he was genuinely delighted to hear about the participation of Crown Prince Katchian at the party.

But everyone in the room knew that wasn't the case.

"Considering I planned to finalize preparations for the party attendance before th...

The tone of Emperor Keilusa was incomparably softer than when they had first met. Setting aside the formal language that he had to employ as an Emperor, his voice seemed surprisingly similar to Kishiar's.

"To meet the hero of the Great Sarain Forest in such an informal setting might not be appropriate, but I assume you didn’t anticipate the nature of this occasion when you accepted the invitation. This is merely a meal with my one and only younger br...

As he had said, Kishiar possessed a power that was effective even against invisible forces, a fact Yuder had experienced firsthand. Moreover, the potential of this power seemed to increase in such circumstances. If they could combine their strengths as they had done yesterday and today, and if that strength could also be applied to Emperor Keilusa… the chances of success would become exceedingly high.

Although he acknowledged the rationality of Kishi...

Lord Lin fired a cannon without warning, the thunderous explosion nearly rupturing everyone's eardrums. Lord Chen let out a frightened scream, quickly covering his ears, his legs trembling. "Lord Lin, how dare you fire a cannon within the royal mansion! You're audacious—"

Far away, the surface of the water surged with gigantic waves. Beautiful splashes slowly meandered in all directions before disappearing. Lin Wanrong appeared compl...

Gao Qiu nodded, "Do I even need you to tell me? I've searched every nook and cranny of this place—the small bridges, flowing streams, pavilions, and towers. I've even sent dozens of skilled men to explore beneath the lake. Unfortunately, despite the vast waters, we found nothing. As for other areas within the estate, there's not much left to do except dig up the ground three feet deep."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanrong let out a...

‘Retire? Has the old man gone senile? I'm only in my twenties; how could I retire so soon? Even if someone had to take the fall, it wouldn't be me.’ Lord Lin thought indignantly.

The Emperor slowly walked up to Lin San and Chen Biqing, scrutinizing both men carefully. After a lengthy pause, he let out a long sigh. "My loyal subjects, this matter greatly affects the prosperity of our great empire. The responsibility is...

"His Majesty has expressed that voicing complaints about the forced vacation this way is more than sufficient. Apparently, they've set up barriers around the area because so many people have been gathering and it nearly caused an incident. Ah, everyone must've had a tough time."

On the third day of his vacation, at midday, Yuder lay down, staring at Kishiar's face as he casually read the letter brought by the courier pigeon that had arrived for the fir...

The next day, as soon as morning broke, astonishing news spread throughout the capital.

"What? Another ‘Emperor's Sword Mark’ has appeared?"

The wall where the first Emperor had left his sword mark had actually been one of the less popular relics among the people. Most commoners hardly knew what the wall was, and those who did generally showed little interest unless they had a particular fascination with swords.

Recently, young people h...

"Do you still remember the promise I made when we were last here?"

Kishiar approached the starting point of the wall, placing his hand on the ancient stone and looked back. The night wind brushed his now light brown hair, making it dance before vanishing. The sight felt as distant as a dream.

Yuder stared blankly at Kishiar's smile and gave a slight nod.

"…Yes."

When they had previously visited this place, Yuder ...

"Brother Lin, is what you're saying true?" Gao Qiu's expression tightened instantly. He hurriedly said, "If this is indeed the case, it bodes ill. After raiding the royal mansion yesterday, Master Xu's troops have already withdrawn. Only my men remain here as guards, and our vigilance has naturally slackened. I should request additional troops from Master Xu immediately—"

Qin Xian'er nodded, "Who else could possibly have the influence to gather so many scholars overnight? Husband, do not forget that Master Gu Shunzhang is a renowned imperial tutor. Even my father, the Emperor, has to show him respect when they meet."

"Brother San," Si De looked at him with an expression of unparalleled reverence, "your words are too profound for me to understand."

"If you don't understand, then don't listen," Lord Lin said with a smile, patting him on the head. "You just focus on leading the way for me, and your rewards will not be lacking. Take this—" With that, he casually handed Si De a chopping axe. The blade was sharp, shimmering with a dark glow. Lord Lin then comm...

In a state of rapid breath, Yuder watched as the sight of the tiny light melted into the red aura that had been enveloping the vessel. Only then did he relax his muscles and lower his head. His body was drenched in sweat, as if he had never bathed at all.

Yet his mood was considerably relieved. He wasn’t planning to end things here; he would observe the progress and try again. As he raised his head to check on Kishiar, he paused at the sight of an un...

If the mood had struck again, Kishiar and Yuder might have continued to tussle on the bed. However, Kishiar seemed to have something else on his mind.

"Do you have other plans in mind?"

"Resting here is fine, but it’s a rare break for us. Given it's night, we could slip out unnoticed. How about a short walk? That is, if you're not too uncomfortable."

"That sounds good."

Yuder readily accepted the suggestion. Though he had spent all ...

Awakening to the sunlight streaming through the skylight, Yuder opened his eyes.

For a moment, the familiarity of the sparsely furnished bedroom almost chilled his heart. However, a strange sound he felt as he tried to move a little quickly snapped him back to reality.

It was the sound of the magic stone furnace burning stronger than usual. Each time it spewed its multicolored flames, a warm and peaceful air tickled his skin. It was a sensation Y...

Xiao Qingxuan was taken aback, urging, "Sister, this is out of the question. The men outside are mostly scholars with no real strength, numbering in the thousands. They're just misled individuals who joined the siege. How can we possibly kill them all? Wouldn't that make My Dear unjust and subject to public scorn?"

In a cocoon of overlapping body heat, a deep sense of calm mingled with a tingling pleasure, making for a pleasantly comfortable sensation.

Yuder had said he didn’t want to engage while turning over, but touching like this should be fine. As he gently ran his hand down Yuder's back, the warm skin beneath twitched but accepted Kishiar's touch.

A moment later, Yuder also lifted his hand to caress Kishiar's cheek. It was much like his previous ges...

As their eyes met, as if asking what was about to happen, a spark flew between the dark pupils when lips met the inside of an ankle.

"Ah... Hmm!"

It was simply an expression of the joy he was currently feeling, having always wanted to kiss those feet. Yet Yuder's reaction was far more intense than Kishiar had anticipated. Yuder had always been sensitive to every touch and kiss, but this level of heated gaze made every other reaction seem insignif...

Though Yuder seemed unaware, there were moments when his expression told a different story.

In instances when an ordinary person might revel in elation and let their emotions soar, Yuder diverged from his usual calm. He displayed a rare blend of tenderness and faint pain.

This hadn't been the case initially. Gradually, though, this aspect of him had revealed itself, until now it was plainly visible even to an undiscerning eye.

Discerning the sexual desire directed toward him had been such a frequent experience for Kishiar that it was difficult to keep count. Many nobles had looked down upon him as a foolish and dissolute scion of a soon-to-be-extinct imperial family. They treated him as if he were a perishable fruit that must be consumed before it rots away.

Of course, Kishiar was well aware that the world didn't only consist of such sticky desires, and that there was no nee...

Though it may be expected or surprising, Kishiar did not immediately begin his work. The reason being, it was only a short time before Nathan Zuckerman would return.

Kishiar asked Yuder whether he would prepare for their vacation together while he and his adjutant were checking on his health conditions, or if Yuder needed separate time for preparation. Thinking of his room still covered in flowers, Yuder replied that he would simply change his clothes ...
