"I was worried yesterday that the retrieval might be difficult, but I congratulate you on your successful completion," General Gino, who had moved slightly ahead to avoid the energy spewing from the box, said to Kishiar.
Judging by the direction he was walking, he seemed to intend to accompany Kishiar until he reached his quarters.
"Thank you. I'm glad it ended quickly."
"Thanks to you, our Southern Army will be able to leave this place for ...

"What are you referring to?"
"I've heard that those who manifested second genders periodically emit a scent from their bodies both during and after it manifested."
Emitting a scent from their bodies. It was a roundabout way of saying they were in heat.
"It hasn't happened in our Cavalry yet, but wouldn't accidents occur if they are in close proximity during such periods? As a place where the awakeners gather, I believe it's an issue you shou...

Kishiar chuckled at the sight of Yuder's grimaced expression. He found it amusing that a commoner, neither royal nor noble, could hardly disguise his displeasure over such a trivial matter.
"Understood... I was wondering what you would do if we couldn't find a way to retrieve the Red Stone as it is. Did I get it right?"
"A way to retrieve it, huh?"
Kishiar was not at all bothered by Yuder's slightly prickly tone.

The party members were perplexed, unable to see Yuder's protective barrier, but only Kishiar widened his eyes slightly and smiled.
"Interesting... Marvelous, indeed. In that brief moment, it wasn't just self-preservation but the will to exercise your power for everyone else."
"No, it wasn't like that."
Yuder lowered his head, but Kishiar's gaze lingered on his face for a while.
"Just by touching the stone, such an event unfolds. Moving...

Lin Wanrong had just left the main courtyard and he had barely caught his breath when a maid came to report, "Brother Lin, you must hurry to the reception hall. It is said that an esteemed guest is here to see you."
‘Could it be that Miss Qin Xian'er is here?’ Lin Wanrong was startled. He had grown increasingly familiar with this young woman and had developed a deeper understanding of her temperament. She appeared gentl...

And besides, what's so bad about Young Master Tao? He's far better than you, a bad person who bullies people everywhere—"

"What?" Second Miss's voice was soft, but Lin Wanrong, Lady Xiao, and Eldest Miss heard it loud and clear.
Not only were Lady Xiao and Eldest Miss stunned, but even Lin Wanrong himself also couldn't believe his ears. Had this young girl gone mad? He understood Xiao Yushuang's intention - she said this to exonerate him from his charges, but was it worth sacrificing her reputation?
Lin Wanrong sighed deeply, ‘Fine, fine. Xiao Yushuang'...

Empress Harriet walked the palace grounds with Priscilla, having left the Spring Palace.
Indeed, Priscilla was a troublemaker, but the root cause was the persistent torment she suffered at the hands of Amelia since her early childhood.

As Priscilla pointed out.

As the two men set out, the sky was turning dusky. Lin Wanrong, preoccupied with the matter of perfume, found a glassware shop on the street. In this era, glass was a luxury. He only had a bronze mirror at home, simply because glass was too expensive.
After a meticulous search, Lin Wanrong finally found a small bottle suitable for storing perfume. Upon inquiring the price, he was taken aback. Such a small glass bottle cost a silver t...

He found himself unable to answer. Should he tell her it was to fulfill certain physiological needs? That would be corrupting the child.

At some point, a cat began to live in the Imperial Capital.
A cat with fur as white as snow.
The reason it was known as a cat living in the Imperial Capital rather than the emperor's pet was that no one in the palace claimed to be raising the cat.
There was no dedicated maid to care for the cat, and neither the emperor nor the empress, or anyone else, seemed to be feeding it.
Its appearances were unp...
