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.

"You're late," she whispered, her voice barely audible over the pounding of her heart.
Li Qiang's lips curled into a faint, humorless smile as his gaze lingered at her face. "Had to make an entrance."
Wang Rouyun's eyes narrowed. "You're stupid for coming here," she whispered, her voice shaking. She didn't know whether it was from fear or anger—perhaps both. "The King set this all up. It was all a trap."
Li Qiang ignored her comment. Instead, he bent down to free her from the chains, his movements precise and calm. He didn't say a word, just worked quickly to unlock the heavy shackles around her wrists and ankles. The moment they clicked open and clattered to the floor, he stood up and, without warning, pulled her into a tight embrace.
