"What do you see when you see me?" he asked as he wrapped his arms around her. For a few seconds, she bathed in his warmth. "Do you want me to be honest?" He nodded. "I see a man who changed my world. He chuckled at that. "Not honest enough." She lifted her head. Her beautiful gray eyes stared at his brown ones. "I see the Villain." She gulped and added, "I see someone that would burn the world... just to keep me safe." "Again..." he smiled. "Again?" "I wouldn't hesitate to burn the world again just to keep you safe." .... She loved him like a brother. He loved her more than he loved his life. In his dying breath, the woman that he loved finally cried... for him. At last, he thought before closing his eyes. She was finally looking at him. How ironic. .... "I lost you once. I can't lose you again. " - Duke Li Qiang This is the Story of Li Qiang and his redemption. ....

"I can give you women, strong men, and even children." The attendant gave him a meaningful smile. "Some people would prefer younger ones."
Li Qiang frowned. He might be someone who killed without any reason but ped*philia was never his thing. In fact, he always hated it. However, it looked like this was considered normal in this world?
What an abomination.
He came here in the black market thinking this was some sort of a special place that was prohibited in the kingdom. He was wrong.
