“What is the name of the sect?” Samuel asked calmly.“They are called the Wardens of Nob. I heard that all of them are mages.”“All of them are mages?” Samuel repeated, his expression impassive. “Leave this matter to me. I'll handle it.”“Are you sure you can handle it?” Gidona asked, studying him with concern. “I heard that you're no longer affiliated with the Ice Frost Sect, so I doubt they'll offer you any assistance. Without their support, how do you intend to deal with the Wardens of Nob on your own?”Samuel didn't bother explaining his plans. Instead, he turned and walked away, leaving Gidona wondering how he intended to resolve the matter.“Can I come with you?” Aaliyah asked, hurrying after him and grabbing his arm.“You can come,” Samuel replied without hesitation.With that settled, they left the auction house and headed for the Wardens of Nob.*********Wardens of NobA man dressed in a black robe sat on a throne in the middle of a grand hall.

"Is that all you've heard?" Samuel asked with a faint smile. "I'm sure there are plenty of other stories circulating about that incident. You probably believe all of them, too, don't you?"Gidona fell silent for a moment.Deep down, he knew the story didn't make much sense. It was difficult to believe that someone would fall in love at first sight and immediately risk his life by challenging a powerful opponent during such an important occasion simply because he was captivated by a woman's beauty."Fine, I'll be honest with you," Gidona admitted at last. "I know that story is false. However, I'm still angry about what happened. I also never knew you had other women. If I'd known, I wouldn't have allowed my daughter to date you in the first place."His expression hardened as he continued."And now that I know the truth, I won't allow the two of you to see each other anymore. I don't want her having anything to do with you. My daughter cannot marry a polygamous man.""There's no need fo

Samuel looked at her in surprise, but he couldn't blame her for being cautious. He understood how she felt. Nobody wanted to pour hours of effort into something only to have it rejected. Helena had probably worried that showing him the entire collection at once would put him in an awkward position. After all, it was much easier for him to reject a single outfit than to turn down an entire collection she had painstakingly made for him. She was very thoughtful and not selfish. She returned to her wardrobe and pulled out another box, considerably larger than the first. After taking out the clothes, she held them up for Samuel to see. His eyes lit up at the sight of them. The colours were exactly the ones he wore most often: black and red. Without hesitation, he took the box from her, leaned forward, and kissed her on the lips. "I'll be going now. I need to get back to work, but I'll return soon," he said. He placed the box inside his space ring before finally leaving the house. Onc

The elders continued discussing the matter for a while before Samuel finally rose to make another announcement."I will also be ending my relationship with Lena from now on. We are no longer married, and I want this news made public, just like my departure from the city. As for the reason behind our decision, that is a private matter between Lena and me. It isn't something I can discuss publicly."His words immediately stirred the room.The elders began whispering among themselves, exchanging bewildered glances as they tried to make sense of his announcement. Why would Samuel and Lena suddenly decide to separate? They had always appeared deeply devoted to each other. Having observed the couple closely over time, the elders had witnessed enough to be certain that their affection was genuine.The news had therefore caught them completely off guard.Nevertheless, none of them dared to question Samuel. He had made it clear that he wouldn't discuss their personal affairs, and they understo

"And I still have to punish you tonight."Samuel immediately understood the naughty thoughts running through her mind. A mischievous smile tugged at his lips as he slipped his arms around her waist."All right. I'm all yours tonight.""The way you said that makes it sound as though you don't consider it a punishment," she teased, playfully narrowing her eyes. "Don't think I'll go easy on you.""Oh no! I'm terrified. My beautiful wife is going to punish me so badly." He feigned a shudder, then leaned closer with an eager grin. "I can hardly wait!"Lena burst into laughter, her earlier worries momentarily forgotten as she tightened her embrace around him.After a while, however, her smile faded, and her expression grew serious."The Urgabas have become something else entirely. They no longer limit their attacks to smaller cities. They've started attacking larger cities, kingdoms, and even empires as powerful as Brentihill."She sighed, a faint crease appearing between her brows."These

For a while, he remained seated, allowing his gaze to wander across the crystal space as memories of his time there returned to him. He remembered the days he had spent training and practicing under his tutors, whom he had once considered terribly wicked.Back then, they had trained him so relentlessly that his body was often left completely battered. Even then, he was rarely allowed to rest. Whenever he thought he had finally earned a moment of respite, another round of training would follow, pushing him beyond what he believed he could endure.At the time, he had resented their methods and struggled to understand why they subjected him to such brutal treatment. Now, however, he found himself missing those very days.His circumstances had changed considerably since then. He was constantly battling formidable opponents, and on several occasions, he had come dangerously close to losing his life. The dangers he faced now were far more serious, and there was no guarantee that he would al
