Sure enough, whilst the complicated love triangle among the other leads was burning strong around the northern border of Borley City, Margarette did not hesitate to bring her people away upon hearing about Jiang li being sighted near the gate. She did not care if the mercenaries and battle maids she had cultivated for years were staring weirdly at her. Margarette was more than aware this bunch had so many opinions about her seemingly whimsical trips and decisions. But she was also confident that none of…-

If thought from someone else's perspective, while his actions showed that he still cares, Jiang Li still seemed to be quite cruel on Margarette as he constantly did stuff similar to that incident without letting her see him. It was like he kept giving hope that he was near, yet in actuality, he was so distant. On one hand, the system was really correct for calling him very vengeful. But on another, it was also because he found her previous actions unacceptable. One should not take a person for a…

For some time, the system was speechless at Jiang Li since it could not help but wonder if he only thought of ascending to godhood of this world after the incident with Margarette. Wouldn't that be too shallow? Even if it was happy because its host finally thought of taking the pinnacle as his goal, in its opinion, the driving force behind this decision was too stupid. It would be an utter insult to the other gods in the world, especially the angels who had spent thousands of years just to ascend. 'Bro,…

To fall for the same trick twice would mean one was incapable of learning from their mistake. Francis IV, as seemingly useless and careless he was in politics and management, was still not as inept to ignore this rule. Margarette was unlucky. Because unlike when the king first tasted the same magic and tactic from Jiang Li, he was now more prepared in case it happened to him again. Shortly after he realized his mobility was taken away from him, Francis IV immediately chanted something which lit up the…

Upon leaving the palace, the system, the childish version, asked Jiang Li why he did all that he did in the throne room. "Host, if you really want to save the leads, but why do that? I mean, why did you only speak out after the arrest warrant for Andre Grey is issued? Wouldn't that mean Adam being the distraction wouldn't serve any purpose? I'm confused." Jiang Li arrived in the inn and jumped into bed after. He was hungry, but his desire for sleep triumphed over it. After all, he was truly spent and had…

With how things were going, who would dare sympathize with Margarette? 'No,' she kept shaking her head as if she was denying reality. However, when she snapped out of it, she subsequently realized that no one would come to save her House. Her husband was out there fleeing from pursuers from the military. She had no real background here to shield her from the interrogation as Francis IV, her current identity's biological father was so indifferent to her. She was even starting to suspect whether 'she' was…

The next day that dawned had been quite eventful. Adam's knight companions were very alarmed upon learning that their leader didn't return. They tried to search for him, but their efforts were futile as their range of search was limited by their foreigner identities. Another thing that gave them headaches was Adam's carefulness which literally left no trace for them to follow. How were they supposed to track him if there was nothing to trace? Even if they wanted to just go on with the real purpose of…

He heard her voice calling out for him from behind. "J-James." Her voice was breaking when she uttered it. Margarette instinctively called out, feeling like she would deeply regret it if she didn't. However Jiang Li felt too tired, with no whatsoever energy to even look over his shoulder. It was the kind of exhaustion that clings to the spirit. It had silently accumulated for hundreds of years, suppressed by the bit of fulfillment and happiness from the previous lifetimes. Yet now that a sad realization…

"... Maybe it's better to put it as in every girl's life, there will always be a period where they had that kind of mentality. Every girl wants the perfect fairy tale romance... but on what age, it varies," Margarette answered with hesitation in her voice. She was feeling conflicted about whether to step back or not. "I see." Jiang Li chuckled. The 'person' Margarette really wanted to be with was this valiant version of him, her response confirmed. When she met Jiang Li, because she had access to…

Even though not many things happened to her that night, for Margarette it was an eventful evening. Still, the latest development really baffled her. It all felt like a dream. At one point she was in her mentor's garden, bathing in the green glow filling the place and surrounded by countless fireflies. The joy in her heart was immense because she finally managed to meet her most admired mentor. But then... a brief, disastrous fight broke out outside of the mortal realm in the garden without warning. No…
