Duke Grey and his people were still looking for the trespasser and some pieces of evidence against Agatha. However, both had been very slippery. It was hard to locate the unassuming assailant since the person left no trace and could not even be tracked using magic or hounds. As a result, the duke's frown kept getting deeper each day since he really wanted to tear the perpetrator to pieces to get back his lost face. And the pieces of evidence? The previous coven meeting could have been a good opportunity.…-

Villains would always be as lucky as the protagonists before the final confrontation. Or at least, their luck wouldn't let them die just like that. That was something Jiang Li was long aware of so he didn't feel the need to remind Margarette to not go overboard in her dealings with Agatha. His mind was on another matter altogether. On a trouble coming his way. So while the princess was experimenting with the villainess, Jiang Li no longer stayed still and started to be more active in the mystic world of…

Agatha woke up from the unpleasant nightmare several hours later. The moment she opened her eyes, what greeted her was the familiar canopy of her luxurious bed. She was back to her grand room in the palace? The woman blinked repeatedly for some time to get a hold of herself. Afterward, she breathed a sigh of relief. She forcibly willed for the horrible images in her mind to disappear as there was no way she would want to have any memories of the nightmare she just experienced. When her mood and mind…

After the enraged shout, Agatha had seemingly forgotten about Jiang Li and threw several bottles of poisons at Margarette in quick succession. The darkness of the night had affected her vision, although not as bad as an ordinary person, so when she did not hear screams from the target that she wanted to kill, she also began throwing poisonous darts in the same direction after running out of poison. The witchy villainess looked really mad. Her chest kept heaving. For the prideful her, the humiliation had…

It was now witching hours of the night. The moon hanging up high in the sky began to hide through the canopy of the mini-forest in this part of the city. Just a couple more hours and the sun would rise to dawn a new day. Together with Jiang Li, Margarette was trekking a ragged path, once again hiding her appearance through a thick brown cloak. In front of them was a woman flunked by two other hooded individuals. They were acting as guides so they would not be lost in the woods. Margarette's expression…

Agatha was a rational female villain. That was a fact. She would have not been able to strike a deal with the Borlean royals if not for her wits. She would also have not been able to get so many aristocrats of Holon even with the king's affection had she been a foolish woman. However, there were also times when her emotions could get into her head, no matter how intelligent she was. 'That youth was the one behind the one week of suffering!' She immediately figured it out the moment she read the letter.…

A villainess would never stop targeting the leads, at least not of her own volition. And even if she was in the darkest period of her life, she would still be able to come up with ways to torment the protagonists. Since the third day Agatha fell ill and realized she would have to stop attending tea parties and balls, she had the ministers and officers from her allied aristocratic families begin giving troubles to the Duke. It was not simply limited to the court. The duke was also getting troubled by…

The journey of the knights continued. The most optimistic estimation determined that they would arrive in another half a month. If something happened along the way, then it could be dragged to another week or two. The next main event in the Holon Kingdom would not be able to wait for them as it would take place this Saturday, two days from the next day that dawned upon them. Jiang Li never separated from Margarette. She was also informed of everything he learned from the leads. It was not that the girl…

The news about the whereabouts of the heathen wanted by the Church of Wisdom elated the whole castle of Viscount Obson. Adam and a group of knights and mercenaries were tasked to set out right away. The preparation for the journey did not even take more than five hours. It was common knowledge that it was faster to travel by horse than on foot, especially if the group was only comprised of elites and experienced horse riders. The Viscount seemed very eager to rescue his youngest child so he ordered the…

After a few minutes of idle talk and random flirting, the two were left alone and for a while, the atmosphere between them became solemn. It started when Marian asked about his meeting with the king and the other ministers. In the Holon Kingdom, a court meeting regularly happened between the king and his wise subjects every three days. As a duke holding a military post and a vast fief, Andre Grey was of course more than qualified to attend that. He was also someone with a good, albeit stubborn, head on…
