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." ....

The Enticing Smell of Blood
That night, they decided to only take a four-hour break despite Li Qiang telling Wang Rouyun it was wrong.
"Soldiers especially reinforcements needed to rest," Li Qiang reasoned.
But Wang Rouyun was adamant about making their trip as fast as possible. She told him that their priority is saving the villagers and the soldiers.
They couldn't just dilly dally.
"Who was wasting time?" Li Qiang asked. This time, Wang Rouyun stopped saying anything. Li Qiang could only sigh as he watched Wang Rouyun move away from him.
Instead of following the woman, Li Qiang went inside his carriage instead.
"Were you able to stop it?" Li Qiang said.
Almost immediately, a man appeared inside his carriage.
