The Duke's Marchen
"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 Don't Like Boasting!
"Duke Li.. this is a fight yet you are not armed…" Vice Commander Al uttered when Li Qiang just calmly stood across him.
"I am not," the latter spoke in a somewhat… bored tone. "I'm hungry."
Vice Commander eyed the other Vice commanders. All of them had the 'I told you so' expression on their faces. Someone didn't bother hiding the disgust that they have for Li Qiang.
After Li Qiang lift the camp, these people bombarded him with questions about his decision.
How could he fight against a useless civilian?
How could he agree to this useless fight?
And most importantly, why did he choose to let Li Qiang take the lead in planning the rescue operation?
Why the hell would he listen to the Duke?
Was it because he was scared of the Duke?
Did the duke offer him anything?
It was absurd, they said.
"Shall we start?" Li Qiang said.
"You don't have a weapon," Vice Commander Al reminded him.
