Chapter 191 Sir and Lady Bika seniors welcomed Poliana with open arms. They thanked her profusely for the luxurious gifts she bought for them. They were grateful that Poliana visited them at all when she wasn’t even related to them. The couple kept thanking her, making her feel uncomfortable. For Poliana, it made perfect sense to visit the parents of her former superior. Sir Rabi helped her a lot almost as much as Sir Baufallo, during the war. He also allowed her to stay in his home in Nanaba when she…-

Chapter 190 Duke Luzo’s son was carried out by his wet nurse while Lucius the First watched them in disappointment. He said to Duke Luzo, “The baby looks just like you when you were little; he is a very handsome boy.” “Oh, I think it was you who was the beautiful one when we were young. If your baby resembles you or Lady Rebecca, I am sure you will have a gorgeous child, your highness.” “I don’t care if it’s a girl or a boy as long as the baby is healthy. I would be happy with…

Chapter 189 “Welcome, your highness, we have been expecting you.” Duke Luzo and his wife waited at the castle gate and when they spotted the emperor, they bowed deeply. At the highest point of the castle, a large flag was hung to announce the arrival of the emperor. It was quite a sight as the north wind blew around it, making the magnificent flag dance. Unlike the castles in the mid-continent and the southern regions, Nanaba castle was coarser, making it look sturdier and oddly beautiful. “You…

Chapter 188 The royal group left Yapa and headed towards Nanaba. The women, children, and elderly traveled in carriages while the rest rode horses or walked. Poliana was the only woman on a horse. Just in case, she wore a layer of chain armor underneath her uniform. She also made sure to carry her sword and her bow and arrows. In addition, Poliana carried her helmet as well. A helmet had always been her must-have item. The group moved slowly. It couldn’t be helped because it included the elderly and…

Chapter 187 Sir Ainno explained to the emperor, “She won’t budge; this is harder than I expected. It’s harder than when we had to figure out how to cross the Koemong River. I haven’t had any luck getting her affection.” “But you just told me that you were getting married.” “That’s right, I am getting married.” Sir Ainno walked up to Lucius the First’s desk and placed his hands on it. He leaned towards the emperor and said, “I am not a great selfless man like you, your highness.…

Chapter 186 Sir Deke looked at Cekel, hoping to find out more about what happened to Poliana and Frau, but Cekel remained quiet. He was the head of the Intelligence Unit and Cekel hoped Sir Deke learned to find his own information whenever possible so he could become better at his job. What bothered Cekel right now was whether or not she should tell Poliana about what she heard today. Poliana was a noblewoman so Cekel was certain that Marquess did not involve personal feelings when it comes to her…

Chapter 185 Lucius the First thought that by removing Frau Sneke from the castle, he could essentially separate him from Poliana. The emperor, however, made a mistake of not considering the possibility that Poliana might seek Frau out. From that day when Poliana visited Frau at the public hospital, Poliana visited him often after work. They didn’t do anything special together; Frau just worked hard and Poliana watched him do his job. After he completed his shift, they would go out to eat or drink…

Chapter 184 Poliana placed her finger on her lips to hush Frau. She couldn’t help the other royal doctors recognizing her, but she didn’t want everyone else in the area to learn that Marquess Winter was here. She said to Frau, “Don’t be so loud. I don’t want people to make a fuss about me.” “What bring you here, Marquess?” “His highness told me about the skin disease that’s going around the city. I wanted to have a look and see how bad it is when I heard that you were assigned…

Chapter 183 The first thing Poliana did was to return home to change. Her blue guard uniform was too noticeable, and she didn’t have any spare clothes left in the castle. Perhaps she could’ve borrowed some clothes from the other guards, but she didn’t want to wear pants. It was one thing to wear pants to the restaurant last night since she was invited. But to go out to the city… She knew people might talk about her. The only pair of pants she could wear that would stop people from staring was her…

Chapter 182 Normally, there wasn’t much to do for the leader of an entire division. Except for someone like Sir Ainno, most highest-ranking knights rarely had to use their swords. This was especially the case as the knights became older. As they aged and climbed the political ladder, the knights became more experienced, but they lost their stamina and speed along the way. Poliana was the one responsible for the protection of the lady’s quarters, which meant that in reality, all she had to do was…
