Chapter 308
Yuder was startled and, at the same time, felt a bitter taste at the unexpected fact that the sea described by Kishiar was indeed the likeness of Peletta. The Peletta that remained in his memory was far from such beauty.
"At first, I thought it was a desolate place, incredibly so. I had no enthusiasm because it was not a land I willingly went to. However, once I changed my attitude, I realized there was no sea as magnificent in the world. The truth is....

Chapter 331 The Rescue
Lin Wanrong's stay in the imperial prison was unexpectedly comfortable, replete with delicious food and devoted attendants. Such luxury seemed an unusual paradox in a prison setting. As time drew late, he prepared to lay down his head to sleep, but a sudden realization shot through his mind, covering him in a cold sweat.
Tomorrow at dawn marked the public selection of a suitor by Princess Nishang. If Qingxuan was indeed the princess, then hi...

Amid a series of loud crashes, a large group of guards burst into the hall. There were twenty or thirty of them, all fierce and imposing with shiny spears and swords in their hands. They were all aiming for Lin Wanrong.
"Hold on—" Lin Wanrong bellowed, "Your Majesty, I don't understand. Why do you want to capture me?"
The Emperor sneered, "Lin San, let me ask you once more. During your assault on the White Lotus Sect, was th...

Upon witnessing Xu Wei's surprised expression, Lin Wanrong was puzzled. It was just the Palace of Heavenly Purity, what was there to make such a fuss about? It would indeed be strange if the Emperor called for him while in the royal lavatory.
Such thoughts could only prove Lin San's ignorance. The Palace of Heavenly Purity was the Emperor's bedroom, the heart of the Grand Imperial Court, and indeed, the heart of the e...

The night that Yuder wished wouldn't come arrived all too quickly. As Gakane, who had tended to him one last time, bid him a good night's rest and left, Yuder let out a deep sigh.
In the meantime, he had inquired amongst the others and surprisingly found out that a portion of what Kishiar had said was indeed true. The speed at which the rumors about Yuder killing Pethuamet had spread seemed to have taken the other members by surprise too.

"Don't worry about that."
The confident tone in his voice evoked a strange, uneasy premonition.
"If I carry you, there won't be any issues."
The foreboding quickly morphed into reality. Yuder dismissed the suggestion immediately, without a hint of hesitation.
"I don't want to."
"What if I carry you on my back instead?"
"Whether you carry me or not is not the issue. I don't want to go out that badly."

Chapter 328 A Second Visit to the Palace
Upon returning from the artillery demonstration, both Ashile and Yi Seung-Jae were notably more silent, especially Ashile. His swagger had significantly diminished. Lin Wanrong couldn't help but chuckle to himself. In this world, there was no such thing as diplomatic etiquette. Power was the ultimate truth. Today's demonstration had indeed been quite a scare. In addition to the pearls and agate, the blood-sweat treasure horse, an...

Though Master Lin had dismissed it as a lie, Ashile grew even more suspicious. Could it be that the Great Hua had secretly prepared an elite force to wage a do-or-die battle with his Turkic Khanate? This matter was of grave importance, and he had to inform the Khan ahead of time. Yi Seung-Jae, on the other hand, had a different train of thought. Indeed, the military strength of Great Hua was robust, surpassing that of Goryeo by several t...

The Empire's attention was focused on the Cavalry, but ironically, the Cavalry building within the Imperial Knight's base was quieter than ever. This was because, after the departure of the second dispatched unit towards the west, there was hardly any personnel left behind.

The palace lady looked at Lin Wanrong with surprise, and gave him a gentle smile.

A tiger-like glint flashed in the Emperor's eyes as he glanced at Su Mubai and then Lin San, a faint smile lingering on his lips, his thoughts unfathomable.
Su Mubai, who studied the books of saints and sages, had nothing but contempt for Lin Wanrong's peculiar theories. "Our Great Hua is a country of courtesy and rites, how could we possibly adopt the profit-seeking ways of foreigners?" He was about to retort again when the Emperor waved his h...

He spent most of his time sleeping, and when awake, he shared conversations with his comrades who took turns guarding him.

"...Alright. If you want, anywhere is fine. I'll help you."
His overlapped hands slowly traced his face.
There was no particular sensation when Kishiar touched his face. But when Yuder felt the touch of the other's skin in his hands, it felt strangely unfamiliar. As his hands glided across the smooth cheeks, the straight nose, the warmth hidden behind the strands of hair, and the soft forehead, Yuder traced the features of Kishiar in his mind.

Afterward, Kishiar lowered his head onto Yuder's shoulder, lightly resting it there, and remained silent for a while. Yuder, too, left Kishiar's hand, which was wrapped around his shoulder, just as it was.
From the edge of the chest where Kishiar leaned, he could feel the regular yet rapid beat of a heart - the most certain evidence of life that could never be felt from the dead.
Although they seemed to bind each other, an odd tranquility, free f...

Although his goal was simple - purely to help his wife - the court was a tumultuous place, with the Emperor's thoughts even more elusive. With this entrance into the palace, ...
