Since the encounter, the royal consort had become restless but listless, having so many things in her mind that there was barely any energy and motivation left in her weakening body. It was not noticeable at first, but those in frequent contact with her saw that her appetite kept worsening and she was not doing most of what she used to love to do. Why was that? What could have caused this? Look, she was not even playing her favorite small schemes against the Duchess at the balls and gatherings. "What…-

Holon Kingdom. On the same day… The talk in the tower happened because the woman was extra sensitive to danger. It was in the afternoon… Back in the Count's opulent residence, although faint, she managed to perceive one when a guard suddenly opened the door and reported some nonsense. As expected the count, who was angered for a sensitive talk was disrupted, heavily rebuked that person. Agatha also showed displeasure and even wanted to punish the other. However, not long after, she realized that…

'So Your Highness, when are you leaving?' The bishop asked for the nth time in his mind. But like the usual days, Prince Benedict never mentioned anything but his yearning for a girl he had never even seen. After the morning prayer and mass, the Bishop accompanied the other to the house of a very wealthy merchant who had invited them for late breakfast. The two, and their entourage of course, then went back to the church, talking about what always piqued the prince's interest. "Your Highness, Lady Obson…

In Aliyah's memories, it was Agatha who disclosed the secret to the royals of Borley. They were hoping she could also help them to unlock their bloodline. However, she did not have the method with her. It was actually already a lucky encounter that she read about the real lineage of that family from one of the history books owned by her mentor. With the need to know the unlocking method, after the death of the Obson heir, Agatha left for Holon as she wished to consult some elders in the witch society…

"So two months ago, when I was once again in Borley, negotiating and telling those stupid royals how to arouse their accursed blood… Did you do as I requested?" asked the villainess in an unhurried manner without masking her nervousness. The Count nodded with a complicated look put on. "Since it is your request, Your Highness, naturally, I did. I've been trying to put a curse on that Duchess, the strongest one I can cast even. However, my attempt always ended up in failure. Until now, I have yet to…

It was their fifth day in the kingdom. Before Jiang Li felt like he was really more like a boy toy or a kept man than a husband, he snuck out and roamed around by himself. More specifically, he went to a nobleman's house located only two hundred meters from his lady tycoon's mansion. Of course, as he was a mere commoner, he didn't go in invited. He helped himself with the touring and familiarizing of the place. "Hmm... Agatha managed to enter the palace despite not being a noblewoman. It was all due to…

Jiang Li's desire to gain points had never waned. But since he was warned not to ask around about other women, he obediently complied... And made others do the investigation for him. How did he afford the investigators and information brokers? "Husband. Fret not. I can support you for life." The one who spoke was the girl who had been glued to his side since their reunion this morning. "My title as a princess might have been a joke before the parasite's takeover. But that is because I intentionally hid…

Chen Wang Fei… Princess Consort Chen… It all pointed to a single person, Jiang Ying Yue, wife of General Lu Ling, titled Chen Wang. When was the last time he heard anything about that incarnation of hers? The words had not entered his ears for so long. He was glad, of course. Because nothing beats knowing that he not only found the girl, but she also seemed to be remembering a bit about their past. She remembered… even if it was only a lifetime or some parts of it. As he recalled all the previous…

Jiang Li's eyes widened at what he just heard. He stilled. Since his steps paused, she also stopped. They were at the side-walk, thankfully, so at most the two of them only bumped with some other peasants walking the lane. She gave him a meaningful smile, which appeared quite mysterious to him,leaving the guy lost in his thoughts, busy piecing out the clue. 'So she's the real Margarette?' 'Margarette Holon, the female lead, the one whose face resembled Selena?' It was just a guess since they were in a…

Before Duchess Grey, the former forgotten princess, was escorted deep into the hall, she first looked around, checking out the surroundings to see which of the guests were allies and not. A wary expression was hidden in her eyes back then. Jiang Li managed to take a glimpse of her face. Then the music resumed, so was the discussion and laughter. People began to swarm the lovely ducal couple, either to give them a toast or simply greet them. Jiang Li was watching them for some time. It did not take long…
