2026-06-12 12:41:53The shout snapped Scarlett back to her senses.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a bodyguard rushing in to strike her.She suddenly bit down hard on her own tongue, forcing pain to jolt her mind awake. At the same time, she stepped back and twisted her body just enough to narrowly dodge the punch.So close.It missed her by mere centimeters.The moment she avoided it, she dropped low and swept the bodyguard's legs out from under him.He crashed to the grou

From Prison To Power: Rise Of The War Goddess Instant Karma
Meanwhile, after stepping away from Theron, Scarlett quietly scanned the ballroom.The palace attendant who had caused the earlier chaos was already gone."How did you even get in here?" Theron asked softly.But that wasn't the real question on his mind.What he really wanted to know was-How had she entered the palace?Did she come with the Commander of Obsidian?For some reason, that thought left a bitter feeling in his chest.Did that title matter more to her than he did?"I..." Scarlett hesitated.She hadn't even thought of an excuse yet.At that moment, Hilary hurried into the ballroom carrying a black mask.The instant she spotted Scarlett, she froze.That dress-It was the exact pale blue gown she had given her master earlier.A limited edition piece with only three in existence.What were the chances?Wait.If her master walked in wearing the same dress...Wouldn't everything be ex

Inside Hilary's bedroom, she excitedly threw open the doors to her massive walk-in closet."Master, pick anything you like!"Scarlett casually reached for a pink strapless gown layered with tulle, then immediately put it back.Too girly.Hilary caught on instantly and pulled out another dress-a pale blue evening gown with a sleek, elegant silhouette."This one's prettier," she said quickly. "My grandmother gave it to me for my birthday. I haven't even worn it yet. It's a limited edition-there are only three in the world."Scarlett gave it a brief glance before nodding."This works."Hilary brightened immediately."Master, let me help you change-""No need." Scarlett took the dress from her calmly. "I can handle it myself."Hilary reluctantly left the room, clearly disappointed she couldn't help.After showering, Scarlett changed into the gown and dried her hair.She had just picked up a ribbon to tie it back when movem
From Prison To Power: Rise Of The War Goddess Cousin's Ex
That phrase pierced straight into Scarlett's heart.A sharp pain rose in her chest as she looked at the child who resembled her so much. Her emotions surged uncontrollably, and she pulled him into her arms.Her eyes turned red.Slowly, tears welled up.Theo felt her distress and tried to look up at her."Let me hold you a little longer," Scarlett said softly, forcing her emotions down.Her child... the one she had lost at birth. She hadn't even had the chance to see his face before he was taken away.James...Just wait.She would make him pay back a thousand times over.Theo obediently stayed still, sensing her sadness. He gently patted her back with his small hand.Scarlett looked at him from the side, deeply moved.At that moment-A deep, magnetic voice sounded behind them."Theo, what are you doing here?"Theron.Scarlett's pupils contracted instantly.Without hesitation, she quickly put her mask
From Prison To Power: Rise Of The War Goddess Mother-Son Connection
Theron understood and leaned slightly toward the ruler."Both of your grandsons already know her," he said quietly. "If there was ever going to be something romantic there, it would've happened by now. Besides, Darrel's the grandson of one of your oldest brothers-in-arms. If he actually manages to win her heart, that wouldn't be such a bad thing either."The ruler frowned."I know that... but I still prefer family ties. It would be better if she became part of my family."Still, he had to admit Theron had a point. If there had been chemistry with his grandsons, things wouldn't have dragged on this long.Just then-Speak of the devil.His two grandsons, August and Leon, walked over.Both immediately approached Scarlett and began trying to impress her."Commander, you've traveled all the way from the border. You must be tired," August said, raising his glass.Leon followed right after, not willing to fall behind. He raised his glass an

Meanwhile, Hilary stood near the entrance, smoothing down her dress for what felt like the hundredth time, her eyes fixed on the ballroom doors.She was waiting.Waiting for her mentor.Darrel looked just as nervous, rubbing his palms together."Theron... if this blows up later, you've gotta back me up. At the very least, stop her from killing me. I'd rather not leave this place on a stretcher."Theron lazily swirled the wine in his glass."And if you actually end up with her someday, you still expect me to protect you?""Obviously not." Darrel let out an awkward laugh. "That'd make you the world's worst third wheel."Theron gave him a flat look."You're getting ahead of yourself. There's no 'someday.'"Just then, someone in the crowd shouted-"She's here! The Commander of Obsidian is here!"Every conversation in the room died instantly.All eyes turned toward the entrance.Then Scarlett appeared beneath the glow
From Prison To Power: Rise Of The War Goddess The Banquet
Along the way, countless people stopped to stare."Did you hear? The War Goddess is attending the palace banquet today!""Do you think she's inside that armored vehicle?""Maybe! Or it could be another high-ranking officer from the Military Division.""I really want to see what the legendary commander looks like...""Who doesn't? She's not just the empire's War Goddess-she's also the founder of the Obsidian Unit!"Behind the armored vehicle followed a long line of luxury cars, all heading toward the palace banquet.None of them dared overtake the military convoy.Inside one of the Bentleys sat James Whitmore.He had come together with the head of the Ashford family-one of Lystra's Twelve Elite Houses.James sat unusually quietly.In front of the Ashford family, he didn't dare act arrogantly.The Ashford heir, Tristan Ashford, looked away from the window and asked excitedly,"Dad, do you think the Commander of the Obsid

Scarlett slowly shifted her gaze to the Mayor.That single look was enough to make his spine stiffen."What are you waiting for?" he snapped, turning on Mrs. Sullivan. "Start your apologies."Mrs. Sullivan stared at him, stunned. "Mayor... we're family.""Not anymore." His ton
