Chapter 98 : The Price of Refusal
Following the massive explosion, I immediately rushed to the mansion. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw it completely destroyed and engulfed in flames. "What happened here?" Nearly the entire third floor had vanished, and the second floor had been torn in half by the sheer force of the blast. I hurried into the courtyard, where I found the lifeless bodies of the bodyguards and the charred remains of the mansion’s servants. Trembling with terror, I began searching frantically for Mayu. "This can’t be. Where are you, Mayu?" I headed toward Mayu’s room, but before I could reach it, I saw a woman kneeling in front of her window. She was sobbing, clutching something to her chest. As I drew closer, I realized she was the same woman who had wielded the Time Sword and threatened Akexia’s life. She continued to weep, but upon hearing my footsteps, she suddenly froze and turned around. I stood there, stunned, as I saw her crying while cradling a bloodied arm. I couldn't comprehend wh
Chapter 97 : The Blast
My attempt to return to the mansion turned into a night of mortal peril as I was ambushed by assassins. While hiding inside a building, I could feel my heart pounding against my ribs. Bullets rained down on my cover, and the constant thud of lead hitting the walls told me one thing clearly: they had no intention of taking me alive. "Aren! You can’t win if you just stay on the defensive," Ora shouted in my mind. "You have to move! Use your speed before they surround you!" I took a deep breath, tightening my grip on my Time Sword. In a heartbeat, I vaulted out of the building, activating Time Acceleration to push my agility to its limits. BANG! BANG! Two bullets whizzed past my ears. Fueled by my speed, I successfully reached the next building unscathed. I quickly spotted a figure atop a high tower—the sniper. I dashed toward the structure, and before he could adjust his aim, I unleashed Time Freeze, locking him in place. I had succeeded in stopping him, but as I scaled the side
Chapter 96 : the Assassins
As time passed, I grew increasingly tense, unsure of how to react. Perhaps it was because I hadn't expected this. It was so unlike Mayu—a noble with a government position—to say something like that. I was stunned into silence, unable to believe what I was hearing. Just this morning, she had been adamantly against the idea of becoming a second wife. Now, she seemed to be embracing it—but why? "Miss Mayu, do you mean to say that you are accepting Ora's offer to become the second wife?" Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. She looked down, then suddenly hugged me tightly, falling silent for a moment. "That is what you want too, isn't it? You told me you would help me. You said you were prepared to do anything for me, didn't you?" "I need a prince who will save me... I want to experience true love... I need you, Aren," she said bravely, locking her eyes with mine. Suddenly, her mood shifted. She grabbed me by the collar and demanded, "If you truly want to help me, then marry me. T
Chapter 95 : The Rivalry for a Heart
Mayu looked stunned, her hands trembling as she absorbed what she had heard. I could feel her frustration and deep sorrow. She bit her lip, and it seemed as though her tears were on the verge of falling. Suddenly, Ora stepped in and tapped me on the head. "You really are forcing me to do this." After hitting me, she flew over to Mayu to talk to her. "Don't worry, Mayu, because the woman he is referring to is just a tribeswoman from Axin." "Their marriage is not recognized by Zeron, which means their marriage is not valid in this place. He can still marry." She also explained that the marriage between Frexia and me was merely a contract without any real love, and that I only did it because I had no other choice. "No love? A contract?" I immediately became angry with Ora for saying that. It felt as if she was dismissing Frexia, and I insisted that even if it was just a contract, I was serious about honoring it and could not turn my back on it. Ora held Mayu’s cheeks to get her a
Chapter 94 : The revelation.
I was stunned by what she said, and I’m still confused to this day. I know something is off about the current situation, especially with the way Miss Mayu is acting. "Ah... Miss Mayu. Thank you very much, but I don’t understand why I need to join you for breakfast." She immediately slammed her hands on the table and asked if I didn't like the idea of eating with her. I could clearly see her face turning red with embarrassment. "Shouldn't you be grateful that I’m doing this for you?" she added. I panicked at her reaction and immediately clarified that I was indeed thankful for her offer, but I couldn't shake off the thing that had been bothering me. "Of course, Miss Mayu. I am happy and lucky that you allow me to have breakfast with you, but why?" "What I mean is, why do we need to eat together?" Mayu suddenly shook her head, annoyed that I was still asking. "Why do you have to ask that? Are you trying to embarrass me? Are you making fun of me?" I didn't understand what she mea
Chapter 93 : The breakfast
The next morning, as soon as I woke up, I felt restless and unable to quiet my mind. I stared blankly at the ceiling, replaying everything that happened last night. "Ora, my dream last night was so weird. I was in Miss Mayu’s room, and she suddenly kissed me." Ora materialized beside me and floated over my prone body. "You weren’t drunk last night, and it wasn’t a dream. It really happened—Mayu kissed you." I jolted upright, shocked and still finding it hard to believe. "But why? That shouldn’t have happened. Why would she kiss me?" "Isn't it obvious? She did it because she wanted to. Even if she was a bit intoxicated, it’s clear she has accepted you, and that’s what matters," Ora said. I didn’t agree with the idea that she had to kiss me just to show she was accepting me as an ally and a friend. "I don't understand. She has a husband, and I am married, too." "Who knows? Maybe it's because she doesn't recognize her marriage to the son of the Poi family. And as for you, under
