Yuder had borrowed it from one of the Cavalry members returning home the day before.
He remembered that the man, a devout follower of the Sun God from a pious family, always carried multiple holy books. Believing Yuder to be a fellow devotee, the man had willingly lent him a copy.
While not everyone deeply believed in the deity, most people on the continent had grown up closely observing and interacting with the temples of the Sun God from a young...

The Empress trailed off, forcing a smile onto her face.

Lin Wanrong said earnestly, "This is called a sanitary belt, used by women during their monthly periods." At the end of the 1980s, when sanitary pads had not yet become widespread, sanitary belts were the most commonly used feminine products in China.
As soon as he finished speaking, both Madam Xiao and her daughter blushed simultaneously. How could this Lin Wanrong dare to utter such words? Even women were embarrassed to bring up such filthy i...

By the time they had returned to the mansion, it was already afternoon. After a hasty lunch, Eldest Miss Xiao reported to Madam Xiao, and the two of them waited for Lin San in the guest room. Given the imminent peril faced by the Xiao family, they dared not waste a moment.
"Lin San, what do these unique clothes you mentioned look like?" Xiao Yuruo asked urgently.

After an arduous effort of completing the drawing, he chuckled heartily while gazing at the patterns on the paper, thinking to himself, 'I truly am a genius at making money.' He wondered what Eldest Miss Xiao would think when she saw these drawings. Undoubtedly, she would blush in embarrassment. 'Ah, it's simply too explosive!' he thought. However, if the Xiao family actually went into this business, they would definitely make a fortune.

"Pardon?"
Yuder was preoccupied with thoughts about Thais Yulman, and had missed Kishiar's comment. He turned his head a little too late to ask again, only to find that Kishiar was also looking in his direction with a slight tilt of his head.
Their faces had stopped at a very close distance.

Yuder recalled the moment he first met Kanna, seeing the bitterness in her expression.
When he first met her at the front of the Blue Crown for the Cavalry's entrance test, Yuder thought of her as a rigid and angry person. He simply thought that she was the type of person whose face would show such an expression when she was overly nervous, but that was not the case. After hearing her current story, he finally understood why her expression was so severe...

In his previous life, there were many who vowed to remember the name of Yuder. However, none among them could lay a finger on him.
"That... that man until the end... Master! Please wait!"
The servant cried out with a horrified face and then dashed after the Count, who had turned his body, stirring up a cold breeze, towards the palace interior. Those who had been spectating lost interest and dispersed when Yuder showed no re...

The man lifted his staff, embedded with a transparent magic stone, and moved slowly. With each soft sound of the staff's end meeting the ground, the color drained from Kanna's face.
Having ascertained this, Yuder reached for the hood hanging on Kanna's uniform and pulled it over her head. The moment the large hood concealed her face, Kanna gasped and swallowed.

"Very well. If something unsavory occurs while my Cavalry and I are investigating, I will take responsibility and step down from my position as Commander. Does that sound acceptable?"
His response was straightforward, but it only served to harden the Emperor's already grim expression. He stared at Kishiar for a long moment before letting out a deep sigh. That sigh bore down heavily on the sho...

Inside the silent palace, the head attendant, who had stationed Kishiar and the Cavalry members outside the door, politely knocked before entering. This place was eerily quiet, void of even the typical sight of a guard knight.

Xiao Yuruo was taken aback. She had not intended to convey that meaning, but to her surprise, this man had such a lewd interpretation. Shocked, she exclaimed, "Lin San, you, you mustn't misunderstand!"
"Really?" Lin Wanrong chuckled, "Did I misunderstand? Then, Miss, what do you think I want?"
"You, you..." Eldest Miss Xiao retorted angrily, "Even if I die, I won't be yours."

The blue belt signified the individual who served the Emperor directly, and the five knots represented over fifty years of service in the palace. The golden tassel symbolized the most brilliantly shining sun, a privilege only the head of the Emperor's attendants held.

In the past, Yuder hadn't paid much attention to Kishiar's attire. There were occasionally members with unique abilities who wore odd clothes, so the fact that Kishiar often wore gloves wasn't particularly unusual. However, on reflection, Yuder realized that since his return, Kishiar had never once worn gloves.
As soon as he realized this, naturally, a dream from the night before flashed through his mind.
