It turned out to be true, the Black Emperor came because of Aurora. Hearing this, Dailyn’s heart skipped a beat as if it were about to leap out of his chest.He was deeply worried they might discover something. In the end, he smiled very politely.“Don’t worry, she’s fine. Please stay calm. As her grandfather, I will risk my life for my granddaughter?”“You can tell the leader of the Black Emperor that I will take good care of Aurora, and I will wait until the day she marries, on that day...”The Elder nodded repeatedly, then looked at Richard. He wanted to ask if they could leave the room.Richard understood the Elder’s meaning and responded with a look. However, when Richard made eye contact with the Elder, Emiel accidentally saw it. Emiel felt that the Elder of the Black Emperor had some connection with Richard. But what could it be? The Elder wasn’t just any ordinary person.Soon after, several Elders, followed by their members, left the room. On their way, one of them asked, “Eld

It was undeniable—among everyone present, the one who had the hardest time accepting this reality was Dailyn.In the eyes of the cunning old man, calculations were being made. Then, with a helpless tone, he spoke. “I can hardly believe it myself. The person the Black Emperor’s leader is interested in... is Aurora!”“A lowly girl from an inferior place. How could someone so honorable be interested in her?”“But this is the truth! This morning, the elders of the Black Emperor came to our house personally, bringing gifts.”“They told me themselves—the person their leader desires is Aurora. Not Lilithra, not our Lilithra! But Aurora...” he said, shaking his head slowly.Lorren, who had already received confirmation from her father multiple times, suddenly felt a ringing in her head. The floor beneath her seemed to sway. She struggled to stand upright, almost fainting.Aurora!How could it be Aurora that the Black Emperor’s leader chose?!Lorren felt a surge of anger, disbelief, and fear.

All those bad memories filled Aurora’s mind. Her tears suddenly fell down her face. For several days in this Myrcathia country, she had repeatedly thought about letting Richard go.Allowing him to live his new life. But she couldn’t let him go. No matter how many times she told herself, this was the time to release Richard. But Aurora truly couldn’t do it.No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t let go of him. Aurora loved him. She loved Richard more than anyone in this world. Aurora buried her head in Richard’s broad chest.Unknowingly, she cried, deeply saddened. Although she didn’t want to appear weak and fragile like this, when she was in front of Richard, all her defenses crumbled.“I thought you didn’t want me anymore. I thought you would never come to me again, forever. I was scared. I was so scared, Richard.”“I was really scared. Richard. Hiks....” Richard felt the warm liquid soaking his chest. For a moment, he didn’t know what to do.In his confusion, he gently patt

“... If that’s the case, do you want to marry that man?!” While Emiel had been in Almolia City, he had learned how Aurora felt about Richard.In her heart, Aurora had already decided that Richard was the only man in her life. She only wanted him for the rest of her life. If not, she wouldn’t have waited for him for 15 whole years!Without a doubt, Emiel’s question felt like a thunderclap to Aurora. It immediately raised her guard. She instinctively glanced back and forth between Dailyn and Emiel, then suddenly laughed bitterly.“I knew it. How could you ever realize your mistake! So, you’ve already found the right family to marry me off to?”“You’re sacrificing your own child to exchange it for benefits for yourselves. What you’re doing is no different from selling your own child!”“Let me make it clear to you. Besides Richard, I won’t marry any man. No matter who he is. No matter how rich he is.”“That’s your business. It has nothing to do with me!”After hearing Aurora’s blunt rejec

“Turns out, you’re just a commoner from a low-level place. Now Aurora is part of the Nytheris family, someone from Myrcathia country.”“You want to take Aurora away? What relationship do you have with Aurora? What right do you have to take her away?”Dailyn’s words could be said to offer no respect to Richard.However, he didn’t point at Richard or call the man useless trash.But Richard remained calm. His expression didn’t change at all. On the other hand, Aurora was extremely angry. Just as the woman was about to retort to Dailyn, Richard suddenly grabbed her hand and positioned himself in front of her, placing Aurora directly behind him.“I am Aurora’s fiancé, her future husband. Do you think I have the right to take her away?” Richard said suddenly.“Only six billion, right? Okay, I’ll give you the money!” he added.However, as soon as Richard said this, Lilithra’s eyes widened. She immediately laughed mockingly, showing no respect.“What did you just say? Only six billion? Do you
