Chapter 173
At the very moment that Kiolle was grinding his teeth, Yuder Aile was strolling through the imperial gardens behind the palace, feeling somewhat uneasy.
His body had fully recovered, just like before, after another day of rest. Even the slight fever that accompanied his heat period had completely subsided.
Still, Yuder couldn't leave the palace. He had been instructed to wait until Kishiar, who had left to attend Lenore's funeral, returned. Despi...

Chapter 196 Who Looks Better?
"Why would they want the perfume formula? Young Prince Ning is of dragon lineage (Emperor’s grandson), basking in eternal wealth and prosperity. Why would he collude with the demonic people of the White Lotus cult?" The Eldest Miss was puzzled, and after a moment of contemplation, a hint of horror flickered in her eyes. "Could it be that they..."
The Eldest Miss's face turned pale. She bit her lower lip, unable to continue. No wonde...

"Consult matters with me?" Lin Wanrong was surprised. "This must be something important. Miss Luo, let's chat another day. Now I must attend to important matters with Miss Xiao."
Luo Ning managed to suppress her laughter. "Brother Lin, you go ahead and attend to your business. But, if you have some free time in the future, could you explain to me that 'A Hundred Thousand Whys'?"
"Of course, I will definitely make time to teach you." Lin Wan...

Lin Wanrong, imitating the style of Xuan Xuanzi, dipped the square ends and bodies of three wooden chopsticks in water. The chopsticks, of equal length, were combined and slowly inserted into a water cup.
As he watched the chopsticks sway gently, a taut sensation gripped Lin Wanrong's heart. "I haven't practiced this for several days," he thought, "and I feel a bit rusty."
Chuckling to himself, he imitated the fak...

After watching the Cavalry return to their carriages, Kishiar boarded another one he had stationed elsewhere. He was not heading for the Cavalry barracks, but rather towards the imperial palace. As the carriage, enchanted to eliminate jostling, quietly journeyed, he tirelessly calculated the ramifications of the events he had set in motion that day and their potential outcomes.
Today, he had used Aishes Shand Apeto to sow seeds of suspicion and discord...

'Of all times, why did this have to happen when so many were listening?'
Once everyone had heard Revlin's words, the situation was spiraling out of control. Aishes' mind was busy, regret gnawing at him for having allowed Revlin to speak so freely.
'As if it weren't bad enough, we are in the midst of coordinating discreet alliances with other families before the trial. Things will get troublesome if the Diarca family hears about this.'

Originally, it was a tradition in the imperial aristocracy's funerals to momentarily open the coffin before the ceremony ended, allowing the family to bid their final farewell to the deceased and place flowers.
Unless the deceased's body was damaged beyond repair, this was always observed. Therefore, the body of Lenore that was revealed within the opened coffin appeared as if he was merely sleeping, perfectly restored to an undamaged state.

‘Damn it, I'm well aware of your antics, don't play your tricks in front of me. So, you want to show off, huh? I can play the game better than you.’ Lin Wanrong muttered under his breath, though his face feigned confusion. He looked at Zhao Kangning, feigning puzzlement, and said, "Oh, is the Young Prince speaking to me? Could it be that the Young Prince recognized me from before? This, this is indeed an honor."

Luo Ning's smile bloomed like a flower, a stark contrast from the melancholy air she had carried just moments ago.
Upon seeing her return to her lively self, Lin Wanrong chuckled inwardly. Why did all these girls like to share their worries with him? Miss Luo was no different. If he ever left the Xiao family, he mused, he should start a psychology clinic, specializing in women's hearts. He chuckled at the thought.
Suddenly, Lu...

His heart was roiling with a tumultuous mix of emotions. Relief that the event he had most dreaded from his past life didn't repeat itself; anxiety as he constantly calculated and weighed whether manifesting as an Omega with a scent was truly better than before; and fatigue from a body still running a slight fever. These emotions stirred into a complex blend within him.
However, when all these thoughts were pushed aside, there was one lingering residue...

It was an evaluation that would have driven Kiolle himself to rage, yet as Yuder agreed with the assessment, he merely responded, "Yes. Don't worry about it," in a brief reply. Kishiar's face cracked into a fleeting smile again, though Yuder couldn't fathom what was amusing about his answer.

Yuder hesitated, then nodded. At that moment, a blue aura flowed from Kishiar's hand, wrapping around the letter and causing it to float gently before setting it down onto his lap.
"...What did you just do?"
"It's a levitation spell stored in this ring."
As he mentioned it, Yuder noticed a ring on Kishiar's right middle finger he had not seen before. He wondered just how many magical items Kishiar possessed. With that lingering curiosity, h...

Though his couplet was quickly composed and met the standards of balance, the link between mandarin ducks and lute-playing was somewhat strained. It could barely be considered an average couplet.

His mind was still fuzzy from the aftermath of the dream, but as he drew in slow ...

Uncharacteristically, Kishiar delayed his reply again at the words of the empress, who carefully chose her expression. It felt as if he had been unexpectedly pricked, far more so than any insubstantial attack from Katchian.

After responding reflexively, Kishiar rubbed the corners of his mouth where his smile had faded, a slight frown appearing on his face.
