“This is really unexpected that Lord Kenny’s life is going to end this way.”“Did you hear that Lord Kenny was convicted for deceiving the Emperor because he released that loose woman, Monica? That’s why he’s going to be decapitated.”“Tut-tut, no wonder. Losing his life for such a woman. He was really asking for it.”Lord Kenny looked up, pretending he did not hear the gossip, and let the cold rain wash over him. It was a rainy day again. It was also raining when his wife was framed and sent to the parade. Images of Monica popped up in Lord Kenny’s mind. The memories caused him to smile. ‘Dear, are you doing alright? I was not able to protect Ambrose, and I’m too ashamed to meet you again.’Lord Kenny did not know Yvette had rescued Ambrose and escaped with him.“Time’s up. Prepare for the execution!” the executioner coldly said as the beheader raised his big blade. At that moment, Lord Kenny had completely lost hope and shut his eyes, feeling devastated. The room was silen
“Let’s leave first and talk later,” Celeste said softly. As she spoke, she activated her internal energy to break the metal chains. She then grabbed Lord Kenny and flew up in the air. The executioner was furious and worried as he shouted loudly, “Stop them. Stop them now!”All the other guards rushed forward immediately, but how would they be able to catch up to Celeste with their weak ability? In a blink of an eye, she had disappeared with Lord Kenny.The crowd was stunned by the sight. “Is she a goddess?”“How lucky is Lord Kenny that a beautiful lady came to his rescue!”“That could be worth dying for.”Meanwhile, Celeste brought Lord Kenny to the top of some mountain on the Royal City’s north side. The rain had stopped, but the north wind was still strong. Lord Kenny looked at Celeste and asked out of curiosity. “Who are you? Why did you save me?”Celeste looked at Lord Kenny calmly and said, “I’m the Sect Master of Spiritual Invisible Sect. You don’t need to know my
Fame and wealth no longer meant anything to Lord Kenny. Since he managed to survive, he would venture to the other continents. In a rural area of New World Royal City, in a broken temple were Yvette and Ambrose. The two of them had escaped all the way there and arrived at a temple in the end. At the moment, Ambrose was sitting on top of a pile of hay, his eyes following Yvette as she was busy with chores.Yvette was roasting a hare with fire!They had left in a hurry, so Yvette did not bring anything with her. However, with Yvette’s excellent cooking skills, the broken temple was quickly filled with a delicious aroma. “It smells so delicious! Your cooking is the most delicious in the world!” Ambrose complimented, clapping his hands as he salivated. “Alright, you hungry little one!”Yvette was delighted to receive the compliments. She tore the hare’s leg and handed it to Ambrose.After a whole night of running, Ambrose still looked tired, but he was much more alert now. He h
At that moment, Ambrose turned and asked, “That’s right, where is my father? The Emperor wanted to kill him yesterday; he wouldn’t be dead, right?”“He…” Yvette did not know what to say. She forced a smile and consoled him, “He’ll be alright.”‘I wasn’t able to rescue Lord Kenny. He might have been executed by now. There’s only so much a child’s heart can take. I can’t tell him such cruel news for now.”Before Ambrose could speak, Yvette hugged him in her arms. “Ambrose, time to go to sleep.” Feeling Yvette’s warm embrace, Ambrose calmed down but did not feel sleepy at all.Yvette could not sleep, either; she had too many thoughts in her mind. “Ambrose is such a pitiful child; I cannot let him be harmed!’Both of them were deep in thought. The temple was completely silent, with only the sound of the rain outside. There was no telling how long it had been; Ambrose could not help but ask, “I can’t sleep. Can you tell me a story?”“Sure!” Yvette smiled and nodded. Yvetter tho
“Yvette, I’ll sleep. Tomorrow you’ll tell me stories again, okay?” Ambrose smiled as he spoke.“Good, good.” Yvette patted his head and smiled.Ambrose nodded happily. He was so sleepy that he fell asleep quickly and was breathing deeply.Yvette hugged him in her arms as she watched him sleep soundly. It was raining heavily outside, and it was really cold in the temple. Both of them were hugging each other tightly to keep themselves warm. After a very long time, Yvette finally fell asleep.Meanwhile, at the Empress’ residence in the palace of South Cloud World.Darryl kneeled in front of the Empress calmly in the quiet but exquisite garden. He was unsettled.Since Darryl was able to use an ant to tie the red string, the Empress was about to reward him. He had told the Empress that he wanted Quincy’s Dragon Essence. At that moment, the Empress looked coldly at Darryl. It was only after a while that she finally spoke, “You little eunuch, you want Princess Quincy’s Dragon Essence?
Darryl had decided at that moment.He could only find the opportunity to steal the Dragon Essence back from Quincy since he could not get it from the Empress.‘What?’ Those few civil officials were stunned and furious in their hearts at that instance upon watching Darryl’s action.‘This bloody eunuch!’‘Her Majesty allowed him not to kneel in the future, but he should still kneel now to show his gratitude. How dare he immediately sit down? How unruly!’The Empress also frowned but did not reprimand Darryl as she had a generous personality.The Empress looked at the few officials after sipping some tea and smiled. “My fellow officials, it’s been a while now. Does anyone have a good verse for me?”The Empress’s beautiful face was filled with urgency when she said that.A spring snowfall happened in the Royal City two days ago! The entire palace became beautifully covered in the silver snow.The Empress loved poetry, so she gathered these civil officials for them to enjoy the sce
“What are you laughing about, Eunuch?” Stanley could not help but walk over and sneer at Darryl.The eunuch already infuriated many from his lack of having any etiquette shown just moments ago when the Empress gave him a seat. At that moment, he was laughing insultingly at Stanley’s poem.Stanley instantly felt utterly humiliated as the fury in his heart suddenly surfaced.Darryl smiled upon feeling Stanley’s anger and said, “I wasn’t laughing at anything.” Darryl was completely indifferent when he said that.At that moment, the Empress looked at Darryl and gently asked, “Are you of the opinion that Official Stanley’s poem isn’t good?”Darryl’s reaction was too obvious and one could see it as long as they were not an idiot.“Hmm…” Darryl scratched his head and casually said, “Well, it’s just mediocre.”‘What? Mediocre?’Everyone present was stunned upon hearing his words.Such bold words from a eunuch!“What an arrogant eunuch!” At that moment, a civil official stood up and r
“How dare you provoke Official Stanley! You are out of your depth!”The Empress looked at Darryl at that moment and gently said, “Darryl, why don't you give us a verse since you say that Stanley’s poetry is just mediocre?”Her voice was gentle, yet authoritative and unquestionable!At that moment, the Empress was curious about Darryl. This eunuch could use an ant to thread the red string, which meant that he had some talents. At that moment, he said Stanley’s poem was not great. Could he have the capabilities to compose poems? Gasp!The entire courtyard was in utter silence with everyone shutting up their mouths once the Empress started speaking.“Uh…” Darryl scratched his head and said politely to the Empress, “Let me think about it.”The World Universe indeed had many poems about snowfall. However, perhaps the Empress had read the World Universe’s ancient poetry since the enchanted barrier between the Nine Mainlands had disappeared. Therefore, Darryl could not use those anymo
