Chapter 331 Lucius the First brought up the subject of their firstborn. A child this young grew so much every day and the emperor was worried about Poliana, who had to leave Gerald behind. Lucius the First was, however, mistaken. Poliana wasn’t worried at all, “I left him with the nanny. He’s perfectly healthy.” “Even if he is, don’t you think he is still too young to be left without a mother…? I’m worried.” Poliana replied with absolute certainty, “It’s okay, there’s nothing to…-

Chapter 330 Lucius the First’s beauty had always been Poliana’s pride and joy… until he began to seduce her. Lucius the First asked her, “You came into the castle, yet were you not going to visit me, Sir Pol?” “I did, your highness.” “Good, then I would like you to spare me some of your time.” “Of course.” Lucius the First raised his hand. The way he moved was so elegant that it took a long time for Poliana to realize what he meant by it. The knights around them murmured in…

Lucius the First went in search of Poliana. It wasn't a very difficult quest since Poliana Winter was the most famous figure inside the Yapa castle at the moment. Everyone who spotted Poliana remembered her and talked about her. Lucius the First followed her trail easily. When he asked people where they last saw her, they answered and gossiped about it afterward. Meanwhile, Poliana was chatting with her guards. They asked her, “Boss, what is your secret to success?” “Boss, tell us everything that…

Lucius the First writhed in envy at Sir Ainno. He continued to chew on his lower lip until the emperor realized a bloody lip wouldn't help his beauty. He stopped immediately. Meanwhile, Cekel slapped her husband's hand as he continued to kiss her. She then approached the emperor and made her report. Currently, Cekel was serving two positions. In addition to being the head of the maids, unofficially, Cekel also was a member of the Intelligence Unit. Lucius the First decided that Cekel would do a better job…

Chapter 327: Chapter 326 Chapter 326 Even after leaving Tory’s room, Poliana couldn’t stop thinking about their conversation. She was impressed when Tory said she would support her even if Poliana chose the path that would lead to an unhappy life. Poliana also liked the fact that Tory understood how an unhappy life could still come from the right decision. Tory said that as long as one could find pride in one’s life, it had to be worth living. ‘I think of all people, Tory must know what pride…

Chapter 327 The emperor refused to take his eyes off of the mirror. Inside, a man of perfect beauty was smiling back at him. People sighed in ecstasy as they admired him, but to Lucius the First, what he saw in the mirror was not enough. Firstly, his skin did not shine as much as it used to. After he got married, he worked constantly, wanting to forget Poliana. During this time, his skin aged terribly, and the emperor regretted his bad decision. He should’ve known better. A new chapter in his life was…

Chapter 325 Many ladies in the past told Poliana that she should find a man who could satisfy everyone’s expectations. “Marquess Winter, you are one of the very few women, perhaps the only one, who has the right to choose her own husband. So we hope you marry someone amazing.” But what Tory was telling her right now wasn’t the same thing. The definition of a “good husband material” in most ladies’ minds was the same as that of a “good wife material” except for the gender. A good…

Chapter 324 In a way, Tory was probably having a tougher time than Poliana lately. Poliana climbed up from the bottom to get where she was. The other knights respected the time she spent on the battlefields, especially because they witnessed her talent. Tory, however, was a different story. She was given her current position by the emperor and she hasn’t proven herself yet. People respected the emperor and therefore followed Tory’s orders to an extent, but Tory had a long way to go before she gained…

Chapter 323 On her way to Yapa, Poliana never once worried about Gerald, but she did feel a little guilty. ‘When I return to Sitrin, I will be nicer to him.’ Both Gerald and Princess Luminae were raised in luxury. The only difference, perhaps, was that Lucius the First loved his daughter while Poliana only felt dutiful towards Gerald as a parent. She even considered bringing Gerald to Yapa and leaving him here. She knew she was being cruel. ‘But I can’t help liking the princess more. She never…

Chapter 322 There was no one in Yapa who could make a fuss about her outfit to her face. Well, perhaps Duke Luzo had the right to do so, but Poliana knew he was too fragile to do such a thing. The rest of the high-ranking noblemen, who were older and possibly just as powerful as her, would never say anything negative to her face because they knew how much the emperor favored her. Ever since all the elders were imprisoned and removed from their stations, the other nobles have been staying quiet and docile.…
