Chapter 83 “There are also the dresses I brought from the imperial palace…” When Reina stubbornly persisted, Lily sighed and said, “If I may be presumptuous, the dresses Madam brought are out of fashion and far too worn. I’ve heard that during the social season, one does not wear the same dress multiple times.” Having studied the capital’s high society, Lily had personally felt that Reina had been a princess with no presence. The luxury items she’d brought showed heavy…- 1.2 M • Completed
- Chapter 82 “Of course.” Reina examined the necklace using Ritsi’s power. Fortunately, no demonic energy was detected. “No problems. You can use it as is.” “Phew. That’s a relief.” Only then did Aiden’s face relax with relief. Reina could almost guess the mindset he’d poured into crafting it. Thankfully, Dahlia had a good father. Watching the affectionate father-daughter pair, Reina felt her own wounds healing. He grasped both her hands to express his…

- Chapter 81 Kaiden recalled Aiden storming out of the drawing room. "I just want my daughter to live a little more freely." It had been a long time since his younger brother had opened up about his feelings. Thinking of how Aiden must have suffered in silence beside his clumsy older brother, Kaiden felt a pang of guilt. He had only meant to protect him. Unbeknownst to him, cracks had already formed. What would happen if Aiden learned that not only his wife but also his daughter was…

- Chapter 80 “I see…” Reina cleared her throat, unsure how to respond to Kaiden’s earnest distinction between her and Aiden. Thankfully, he changed the subject. “So, why’d you come to the study?” Recalling her purpose, Reina’s face turned serious. “I heard Dahlia still can’t control her aura.” “No need to worry. Aiden was the same at first. Training will help.” Kaiden seemed unconcerned, and Reina wanted to believe him. She’d commissioned Aiden to make a…

- Chapter 79 Kaiden seemed unfazed by the issue. “Even if Reina and I have a child, Dahlia will still be the heir. The elders know this.” Aiden scoffed quietly. “I’m not so sure. The Northern nobles don’t think like you. Even the elders are divided.” “I’ll remind them again.” “That’s not enough, brother.” Kaiden felt weary at Aiden’s persistence. “Why are you so on edge? What’s got you this anxious?” Seeing his brother’s hardened expression, Aiden…

- Chapter 78 Upon hearing the news, Aiden visited Kaiden with Dahlia. Confirming her aura, Kaiden chuckled. “Aiden, you’d better watch out. When Dahlia grows up, you won’t stand a chance.” “Is that true?” Far from offended, Aiden looked thrilled, his eyes brimming with fatherly pride. His constant grinning made Kaiden shake his head. Is he that happy? Having never considered marriage or children, Aiden’s reaction fascinated him. “She probably can’t control her aura…

- Chapter 77 Afterward, Reina and Kaiden began covert preparations for the capital. They doubled their network of informants and sent select Northern nobles to establish a foothold there. The Holy Nation and the Hook Trading Company also lent support. Without the 100-year demonic cycle, they might have gone sooner. Reina’s power was immense—her presence was no less than the North’s salvation. “It’s not time yet,” Kaiden said. Her focus on finding her brother and…

- Chapter 76 “…” Realizing his teasing, Reina’s eyes turned cold. “That’s not funny.” “It’s funny to me.” “Kaiden!” As she raised her hand, huffing, he dodged and picked up the blanket that had fallen during their scuffle. “After all the effort to bring this, you treat it like this?” “Oh!” “This won’t do. Extreme measures are needed.” Kaiden shook out the blanket and wrapped it tightly around her, as if shielding her from…

- Chapter 75 “It seems Dahlia’s preparing a surprise birthday gift for you,” Aiden said. “Oh?” “Honestly, it’s a bit bittersweet. I think she likes you more than me.” Aiden drooped his eyes playfully. Reina smiled faintly, secretly relieved. She’s still okay, then. If something had happened to Dahlia, he wouldn’t joke so lightly. Reina had private concerns but couldn’t share them with Aiden yet. Hiding her thoughts behind a smile, she said gently, “If…

- Chapter 74 “The North will likely suffer greatly in this 100-year cycle. No matter how hard he tries, the Duke alone can’t protect it all,” Michael said confidently, pleasing the Emperor, whose expression softened. Feigning concern, the Emperor replied, “That’s unfortunate. The North is the Empire’s shield; I hope it avoids major damage.” “With the Duke, the capital should be safe, Your Majesty.” “Good. It should be.” The Emperor smirked, tapping the armrest. “By…
