Lucia at the moment thought she was being caught before she was supposed to go out the room. She was being forced to stay in and she knew Canyon will return anytime soon, and she wasn't planning on returning to that room either.Lucia was as confused as ever. She doesn't know what exactly she will do to tackle this situation, but something seems to change—something she never expected. Jordan's presence was like gold; it had been years since she had seen him.Jordan didn't say anything, was just smiling. Not that he can't say anything, but was just so confused on what to say. He doesn't know if he was to start with asking her about the ceremony and how she is planning to stick with it, because it was clearly obvious that she wasn't in support of the marriage."Is this really you or am I still hallucinating?" Lucia spoke for the second time. She had asked this same question before, but Jordan didn't reply. But this time he nodded his head while smiling.And just then, while Lucia was st

Jordan was offered a seat and a meal to eat. He stared at the meal, his spoon spinning on the plate. Before him was Lucia; she seemed relaxed and was eating. In front of Jordan was Lucia’s grandmother; she was just staring straight at him.The woman was very old. She had white eyelashes and eyelids, and she had wrinkled skin with her eyes a little bit closed like she couldn't see properly."So what exactly has brought you here, Lucia?" the old woman was staring straight at Lucia as she asked. Lucia sighed, "Grandma, it's father again. He wanted me to marry that bastard of a person."Thus, her grandmother had already figured it was part of the reason she had come, and at the same time she knew if her father found out about what she did—escaping from her matrimonial room—it would be a crime, and he won't take it easily on her.The old woman took a deep breath. "You know, your father will send guards here because here would be the last place he will suspect you to be, so I don't guarante

Canyon's eyes blazed with rage and the next thing his eye darted to was the old woman who was already on the ground, almost dying. He gripped her by the shirt then dragged her up; there he pinned her on the wall and stared down into her eyes as he asked darkly and coldly, "Where the hell is she? This time I'm gonna kill you."The woman didn't say anything; her eyes were closed, already passed out. Canyon saw her of no use again and killing her won't make any difference. With that, he narrowed his eyes and threw her like a rag doll to the ground."Fuck, all this was a waste of time!" Canyon gritted his teeth with a loud shout, and just then one of his guards came into the living room to inform him about something. But just before the man could talk, he sent spikes of sharp ice blasting through his throat, and in that instant the man fell dead.The rest of the guards' eyes instantly widened with disbelief. They didn't expect that to happen all of a sudden, though they knew how brutal Ca

Jordan stared at her as she made those words; he knew he could never keep to his word. He can't watch a ruthless person keep acting like a beast. He hates when people are being mistreated, and the lady before him isn't just a lady, but someone special to him—worth protecting.Jordan didn't say a word. He doesn't have to debate his decision to prove what he was going to say; as he had stated before, he will never let Canyon take Lucia away and he will do that with the last drop of his blood.Soon, the armies had already closed in. They were plenty, more than two hundred, as though they were going to fight a war. Thus, all this while, Lucia never knew how strong Jordan was; she only knew of him being a good person.The specific part where they were was far from the main kingdom, so even though they want to fight, the kingdom would be too far to be affected.Finally the armies were standing tall in front of them. They created a long stretching line, making escape impossible. Their hands

The man whom Ohanko pointed to turned, thinking it was his colleagues, so he used his shoulders and pushed his colleagues. But Ohanko winked his fingers, indicating he is the one he was referring to, “Yes you, the skinny one, come forward.”The man gulped his saliva down his throat before taking a step forward.“Now talk to me, what exactly happened here?” Ohanko asked, his brow furrowed.“Lord Canyon changed after the invaders, and this happened,” the man replied.Ohanko took in a deep breath of annoyance as he glared at the man; that wasn’t the answer he was expecting. The man was trying to hide something, and he wasn’t liking it. “I pointed you for a reason, simply because you are so skinny and I’m thinking of sparing you from the wrath I am going to unleash on the rest of your comrades, so you better speak now or you will finally push me to the edge of the wall, and I won’t let you slide.”The man was shaking when Ohanko spoke; he knew how brutal Ohanko is, as brutal as his son, C
