Chapter 161 Frau Sneke. He looked pathetic and sad as he stood around behind the column. He looked at the feast longingly. Poliana couldn’t understand why he seemed hesitant to join the party. She asked Lady Tory, “Do you know that man?” “You mean Frau Sneke? Yes, I do. If you have questions about him, I will answer them for you as best as I can.” “There must be quite a number of people from the Sneke family here, so why is he hiding over there? Why isn’t he joining the party?” If he…-

Chapter 160 Cekel stared at her hand and whispered, “His… It was big.” ‘Ahh…. So he’s big.’ Cekel had two older brothers and one younger brother, which meant that she was familiar with the average size of a manhood. In Acreia, saunas were especially popular and men, after spending some time in the outdoor sauna, often returned home naked. Cekel had seen her brothers naked often enough that she knew what to expect. If Cekel thought Sir Ainno had a generous manhood, it most likely meant…

In some poorer regions, people substituted these items with animal blood or grains. Northerners were notorious for being superstitious and the Acreian men were…

Chapter 158 Both Sir Rabi and Sir Baufallo were appalled. They overruled Poliana’s verdict and charged the men for the murder of the prostitute. They were punished accordingly, and even though the new sentence was much harsher, none of the soldiers on the base complained. They didn’t say a peep about it, making Poliana feel angry and unhappy. Was Poliana supposed to sympathize with the dead prostitute just because they were both women? Whatever ruling Poliana came up with, she knew the men would’ve…

Chapter 157 Lady Rebecca continued, “A wall cannot, and should not, be destroyed by a single person because it will result in everyone inside the wall being attacked by those that enforced this hurdle. Escaping this wall… It is something that the individual woman needs to do on her own. It’s something she needs to earn for herself to make it worth it… to make her freedom last… So, Marquess Winter, you don’t need to do anything. It’s okay because just your existence alone is enough. You are…

Chapter 155 After leaving Lady Tory, Poliana went to visit Lady Stra to console her. The emperor spent all morning with Stra to comfort her, so the lady was feeling much calmer.

Poliana knew that high ranking nobles like Sirs Rabi and Baufallo were going to get amazing gifts. As Marquess Winter, she had…

Chapter 153 Sir Ainno was a mean guy who could be rude, but as a nobleman who grew up in an aristocratic family, his manner was impeccable. Cekel’s position in the castle was unclear. She did many things a servant did, but since she was a noblewoman, she technically was a lady’s maid. On top of that, all of her brothers were the emperor’s knights. Also, Sir Ainno was Sir Beke’s direct supervisor, which meant that Sir Ainno should’ve known better than to not greet his guard’s sister…

Chapter 152 Was it because Rebecca spent too much energy on ranting? After the conversation with Poliana, Rebecca’s fever became worse. Leaving the lady’s room after Rebecca fell asleep, Poliana felt tired herself. When she closed the door behind her, she saw that Frau was in the waiting area. “You’re still here?” “I have been waiting for you, Marquess.” Normally, a woman would have wondered why a man was waiting for her, but unfortunately for Frau, Poliana was too tired to think clearly.…
