“I’ve watched the Commander revel in making people uncomfortable for weeks now, and I’ve reached the point where I can’t even get angry anymore.” Leon agreed that such words were hardly appropriate to say before a member of the fallen royal family, yet the woman said nothing. Her reaction was so detached, as if the matter had nothing to do with her, that it left him faintly dissatisfied. He was about to resume walking when hurried footsteps approached. A soldier came running at full speed,…- 112.4 K • Ongoing
- Even dozing upright, he embodied the rigid precision of a career soldier, posture straight, shoulders squared, chin set. Yet beneath that unyielding austerity, his features were undeniably striking. He was handsome in a way that was both severe and arresting. It was no wonder, she thought, that half the women of the Stein Kingdom were rumored to have fallen in love with him. His reputation had been formidable enough that even she, who had lived shut away from the world until adulthood, had heard his…

- His dismissive attitude left Adeline feeling unexpectedly embarrassed, and she replied primly. “I never attached any meaning to it. I only ask that you refrain from such behavior in the future.” Leon narrowed his brows as if he were hearing something absurd. In the mountains, she had seemed thoroughly frightened, practically shrinking under his presence, yet now she spoke with a boldness that made him wonder when that trembling girl had vanished. For the entire year the trial had been ongoing,…

- If he truly were a man rumored to be mad for blood, a man who cared for nothing beyond the battlefield, then surely he would have no interest in her. That thought alone had made him seem, at the time, the lesser of all possible evils; it was why she had chosen to comply with his demands. But now, she felt an almost desperate urge to ask him to reconsider that choice altogether. If there was one small mercy in all of this, it was that her attempted escape, which she had imagined would throw the entire…

- The maids, startled and confused, cast frantic glances at one another, clearly unable to grasp what was happening. Leon observed their panic for a brief moment before giving a curt order. “We depart for the Velasque Territory at once. Prepare the princess.” “Pardon?” “First, get her out of that wretched excuse for clothing. We leave within half an hour.” It was still deep in the pre-dawn darkness, not even a hint of morning light upon the horizon. The sudden command to depart…

- At his command, the soldiers waiting quietly in the woods began to move, clearing the area. But then, from behind them, a sudden disturbance broke the stillness, disordered voices, rustling undergrowth, and the erratic sway of torchlight cutting through the darkness. “Ha… This just became a real nuisance.” “…What do you mean?” Leon, who had been silently staring at Adeline’s innocently questioning face, had a change of expression. “There is a way to shut those noisy bastards…

- His tone was deceptively courteous, but the implication within it was unmistakably derisive. A cold, chilling pressure seemed to weigh on her shoulders. Although the man’s face carried no overt expression, the chill in his gaze and the hard line of his lips radiated a danger sharper than any scowl. Adeline’s heart raced as her eyes flickered toward the dying hound bleeding into the earth. From the barrel of the gun in his hand, a faint ribbon of smoke drifted upward into the night air. “...Let…

- “I'm not so desperate for a wife that I need to take a woman from a fallen, defeated nation into my household.” “Hmph! He doesn’t even want the position, and what merit does Stein have to claim the princess when they sent only a single commander and never showed their faces in the suppression at all?” “Stein entrusted every authority to Duke Rübenhart. And since he is neither a member of any royal house nor a man driven by ambition or greed, entrusting him with the princess would create…

- The kings of the Allied Nations were no different. Velasque, a kingdom positioned at the heart of the continent, had been quietly preparing for war. However, the Velasque royal family’s hidden designs collapsed a year earlier beneath their own civil uprising and the intervention of the allied powers. Headlines proclaiming ‘The Fall of Velasque’ swept across the continent, and now, in the aftermath of the war, the defeated nation and its disgraced royalty faced judgment in Molton, a neutral…

- “You’re wringing my cock like you don’t want to wait even a moment to get pregnant.” His heated breath dampened her reddened earlobe. As her head was turned, a tongue pushed in through the seam of her overlapped lips. Her already ragged breathing, panting from the short breaths, was crushed once more. “Mmmph...!” Both the intense kiss and the hot touch of his hands on her skin were hard to bear, but the most unbearable thing was his bold, thrusting hips. Each time he stirred her…
