Novels by Lily Monroe

Audrey stared at him, stunned, her face still flushed.“Wh—what’s wrong, Mr. Jones? Was I bad at it… Did I make you uncomfortable?”“No, no, that’s not it,” Anthony said, rubbing his temples.“I learned it from movies,” Audrey said, embarrassed. “I saw foreigners kiss like that. It looked like men enjoyed it…”Anthony was speechless. She had even done research?“Miss Chambers, we’re friends. This isn’t something we should be doing,” he sighed.Audrey’s eyes welled up, her body trembling slightly.“I’m sorry, Mr. Jones. I was too impulsive…It’s just… I know my own heart.I fell for you at first sight.I couldn’t help myself…”Anthony was stunned. She was being so direct—it left him at a loss for words.Love at first sight?This woman was dead set on sleeping with him.He didn’t know how to respond.Should he say he didn’t like her? Would that be too cruel?And more and more women seemed to be falling for him—it was becoming a real problem.Anthony took a deep breath, thought for a mom

Still, Anthony found it all a bit too unbelievable.They had only met once.One encounter, and she already wanted to sleep with him?Was he really that charming?Just as he stood there dazed, Audrey Chambers paid for the room and pulled Anthony by the arm, heading upstairs.Anthony hadn’t expected her to be so assertive.A few minutes later, they entered the room.Inside, there was only one large bed.Audrey sat at the edge of it, her cheeks flushed and her manner slightly anxious. Anthony stood still by the door, unsure of what to do.For a moment, the atmosphere turned awkward.Audrey glanced at him and said shyly, “Um... how about I take a shower first? You can sit and relax.”Anthony stiffened.Oh no. She was serious. She really did want to sleep with him.He swallowed hard and quickly said, “Didn’t you say you wanted to eat first? How about we grab something? What would you like?”In that moment, he genuinely regretted agreeing to come here. He’d dug himself a hole.Audrey touche

Anthony frowned deeply as he studied the delicate little key in his hand, curiosity flickering in his eyes."What is this supposed to open?"He couldn't make sense of it at all.Just then, his phone rang from his pocket.He pulled it out and glanced at the screen—an unknown number.Though a bit hesitant, he still answered the call."Who is this?"Anthony asked directly.There was a brief silence on the other end, then a pleasant female voice came through."Is this... Anthony?"Anthony paused. "Yes, this is he. Who are you?"The voice sounded strangely familiar, as if he'd heard it somewhere before."I'm... I'm Lily Smith's aunt. My name is Audrey Chambers."At that, Anthony froze.Audrey Chambers?The woman he’d met on the rooftop?Lily Smith’s aunt?It was her?Why was she calling him?At that moment, on the other end in Silverhaven City, Audrey Chambers stood nervously, her cheeks tinged with an unusual blush.Lily Smith stood beside her.Audrey had previously asked Lily to help her

"By killing me, you've offended both the Northern King and the Southern King. No one can save you now. You're as good as dead!"Kieran knew death was imminent. Like many proud warriors before him, he refused to bow his head or beg for mercy.All he could do in his final moments was spit venom and curse.His words sparked a quiet uproar among the onlookers.So Kieran really was backed by the Southern King.That meant this young man had now made enemies of both rulers.The crowd looked at Anthony with a mix of pity and awe.But Anthony merely smiled, utterly unfazed."Don’t be so naïve... Even those two can’t kill me. In this world, no one can."Gasps filled the air. Frowns deepened across the hall.Kieran stared at Anthony, his eyes filled with disbelief and dread.He could feel it—this young man wasn’t just fearless. His fearlessness came from deep within, unshakable and absolute.And with that bitter realization, Kieran’s consciousness slipped away.A once-glorious figure had fallen

In Aurelia City, every family treated Kieran like a groveling lapdog wagging its tail—because none of them could afford to offend a man like him.Liam Baldwin hurried forward, excitement in his eyes. “Mr. Kieran, I must apologize for the chaos you’ve witnessed today. My banquet has taken an unfortunate turn, and I fear I won’t be able to host you properly.”He naturally assumed Kieran had come to celebrate his birthday. After all, with Northern King backing him now, it wouldn’t be surprising if even more prestigious guests came to honor him.But Kieran shook his head.“Old Mr. Baldwin, I never received an invitation from your family. If it weren’t for my brother, I wouldn’t even know today was your birthday.”Liam Baldwin froze, utterly embarrassed.It wasn’t that he hadn’t wanted to send an invitation—it was that Kieran’s status was so high, he didn’t even qualify to send one. Even trying to curry favor would require Kieran’s consent.Ignoring Liam’s awkward expression, Kieran turne

“I underestimated you… orphan of the Jones family.”The phantom spoke, its voice icy cold, the surrounding temperature plummeting.Everyone was stunned!Could it be—the Northern King?Unbelievable! What kind of technique was this?As the others reeled in shock, Anthony narrowed his eyes and said:“You’re the Northern King? Good. Tell me where you are, and I’ll come to you right now.”“Hmph!”The phantom snorted, scoffing:“You’ve slain fifteen Mythical Tier warriors from the Wilson family, and gravely injured Fierce Tiger. Impressive. You must be Divine Tier. But do you really think reaching Divine Tier grants you dominion over the world? Foolish boy… you know nothing! You have no idea how terrifying true power can be! The gap between you and me is like the distance between heaven and earth…”“I’ll give you a chance. Kneel now and beg Imogen Baldwin for forgiveness!”“And since you’re alive, that means the Jones family’s relic is with you. Hand over the jade pendant to Fierce Tiger, a
