Keira Olsen found herself married without even knowing it! What's more, her husband-out-of-the-blue turned out to be the richest person in town! As an illegitimate daughter, she's been clawing and scrambling her way up, struggling to survive since childhood. She never expected to wed someone so powerful. When everyone thought she'd be quickly divorced, her husband shocked everyone by a declaration."My dear wife, can we not divorce?"
Keira was perplexed.
Even from this distance, she could feel the hostility emanating from James.
What was wrong with her cousin today?
He was very helpful the day before, but today he was giving her this attitude.
Keira wanted to find out why. "Is there any misunderstanding between us?"
"There's no misunderstanding."
James narrowed his eyes and stared at her as he said methodically, "Freeman Sect rules: no mercy is to be shown in the sparring arena, so think carefully. Are you sure you want to compete?"
Seeing that he wasn't going to explain further, Keira didn't bother to ask again and simply nodded. "Yes."
"Good, then don't blame me for not being courteous!"
James turned and entered the yard, standing in the middle of it.
Keira followed him in.
The conversation of the Outer Sect Disciples of the Freeman Sect could be heard.
"Why has the second senior brother personally come today?"
