Lilithra would never agree to help Aurora!But every time she thought about Aurora’s face, which was far more beautiful than hers, the envy in Lilithra’s heart grew stronger each day.Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she remembered something and said, “I suppose it’s fine. I could help Richard, but at least you need to show your intentions first!”“How about this? You accompany me to this event tonight, just in case I get drunk. After all, I’m a woman, right? We can talk about Richard when we’re at the event.”Although Aurora didn’t know exactly what Lilithra was planning, she could sense what the woman was thinking. However, she still agreed to the request for Richard’s sake.Just like Richard, who had boldly disguised himself as Ravenna’s student to help her, both he and Aurora considered their partners far more important than their own lives.“Yes! Let Aurora go with you. Hahaha! Lilithra, you’re now the future wife of the leader of the Black Emperor!”“After this, there will be so man

“Cut!”“Cut!”“Hurry up!” the female guests urged impatiently, their eyes fixed on Aurora.They had already imagined the sight of Aurora slicing her own face with the knife.Their chanting stopped when a pair of strong, muscular hands suddenly gripped Aurora’s arm. Just as Lilithra and the others were laughing at her, someone had intervened.The knife was only a few centimeters away from Aurora’s beautiful face!At the same time, Aurora caught a familiar scent—the scent she knew by heart—coming from the person holding her arm.Her grip on the knife loosened, and the blade clattered onto the floor. Aurora turned her head, looking at the person restraining her.“Ri-Richard… You’re back,” she murmured, her eyes turning red, on the verge of tears.She had almost believed Richard would never return to her. She had been terrified that he wouldn’t make it back, especially since they were in this foreign country.Aurora couldn’t bear to imagine what would happen to her if the man before her d

With a provocative tone, he said, “Then, I want to see how the people from the prisonhouse will destroy me! How the people of the Black Emperor will kill me!”“You’re just trash! You’ll never be able to kill me!”Crazy! Absolutely crazy! It was so insane that Lilithra rolled her eyes. She never expected someone from a low caste like Richard to show no fear at all despite all the threats directed at him.Aurora looked at Richard with stars in her eyes. Although she had been disappointed because of a misunderstanding, she was still loyal and wanted Richard to be hers.Yes, her man looked so dashing and handsome. She felt protected with Richard by her side.Though she didn’t want to be a burden to him, what Aurora was thinking right now was that she didn’t want to part with him anymore. She had already endured enough separations from Richard.Aurora couldn’t take it anymore.But then, the sound of footsteps approached from the direction of the elevator.“Who? Who killed my nephew?!”A ba

He then strangled Lilithra’s neck while hitting her face several times. Fresh blood started to appear on her face.Richard was not hitting a woman, but rather someone who had gone too far. Lilithra had almost taken Aurora’s life, who, as it happened, was Richard’s girlfriend.After delivering a dozen blows to Lilithra, he released her. Aurora looked at Richard with teary eyes.Richard looked at Lilithra with a cynical stare and said, “Lilithra, I’ve taught you a lesson today!”“I, Richard, have hit you repeatedly! If you are really the person you claimed to be earlier, then call the Black Emperor’s people to fight me! You deserve this for mistreating my wife!”“Darling, let’s go!” Richard said to Aurora.Aurora’s face immediately brightened, full of enthusiasm. But after taking a few steps with Richard, Aurora turned back. She quickly approached Lilithra and kicked her several times.“Arrrrrrgh!”After seeing that Lilithra was truly helpless, Aurora followed Richard, feeling satisfied

“Leader, there has been another major event recently. We want to report it to you. But may we...?”The Elder shifted his gaze toward Aurora with a meaningful look. Seeing the other Elders glance at Aurora, Richard took the opportunity to speak up.“I brought her here today so that you can help increase her strength. I don’t want anyone bothering her.”“Call the best martial arts instructor the Black Emperor has. I want to see her progress in martial arts in a short period of time. Understood?”That brief command left all the Elders present staring at Aurora in surprise.A girl like a doll? Could she...?Besides, isn’t it typical for women to want to be pampered? Why is such a beautiful woman learning martial arts? Isn’t her fiancé the leader of the Black Emperor? Why would she want to learn martial arts?“Lady, since you want to learn martial arts, I’ll take you to the training grounds right now and provide you with the best martial arts instructor here.”“But... are you really sure y
