After having breakfast, Alice asked her parents' permission to leave first. She needed to find a way to stop the nightmare that tormented her. Perhaps the herb shops run by Sirent could help her find some sort of tranquilizer.Lily helped her into the carriage and was about to return to her seat next to the driver when she was called back.“Lily, about today I went to the herb shop. Remember to tell everyone not to tell my parents. Especially my mother. I don't want to see her worry more about me.”“I understand, miss.”Not long after, the carriage entered Bing Street — the capital Lumière. The street was in the middle of the busy, noisy, bustling with traffic; large buildings close together with large eye-catching signs; or the flow of people dressed in colorful and luxurious costumes. This was where a large number of merchants and the middle-to-upper classes lived and played. Looking at the familiar, bustling street where Alice used to shop, walking around to every store big and sm
The man had chestnut brown hair that was neatly combed, revealing a wide forehead and warm dark brown eyes. His face is good-looking, when he smiles, he is really gentle and sweet, easily making women yell 'aw' shyly, especially the corner of his mouth when smiling will appear two very attractive dimples. The tall figure was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt inside. The collar was simply designed, and two special buttons were attached on both sides. Outside, he wore a dark blue vest with white brocade strips were sewn along the buttons that looked like fairy dust, scattered and eye-catching. The two sides of the vest's buttons were neatly closed, with a combination of small fashion chains connecting them, snugly hugging the waist. Combined with long trousers with parallel stripes and valuable shiny leather shoes, the man's well-proportioned figure stood out. Joseph lifted Alice's hand, kissed it lightly, and smiled. "We haven't seen each other for four days, but you already miss m
Alice returned, just in time to meet the servants carrying her luggage at the door. She let out a breath and fortunately came back in time, otherwise it would be too late. Alice got out of the carriage, walked up to her mother and said: "I'm sorry. Luckily, it arrived just in time. I thought we wouldn't leave until the afternoon." Irene stroked Alice's head. She replied: "It's okay Alice, I'm just making preparations in advance. When you come back, we'll leave at that time. So now, shall we go?!" "I'm ready." Alice and her mother got on the carriage again and headed to the northern front line. The journey from the Rothnor mansion to the army camp that was being held took more than a day. Alice's return was still quite early. With a little calculation, it could be reached by tomorrow evening. At that moment, Irene took out a piece of paper from the box in the carriage, slowly read it, and marked it. She stated: "Joseph is back. I don't know if you guys have met yet?" "I met an
After completing the reservation, Alice was escorted upstairs to the second floor to check in. Lily was also allowed to stay with Alice to take care of her injured ankle. Her mother's room was opposite, and the rest of them were on the same floor, close together. Make sure that they could immediately rush over to see the situation if something happened. Irene was relieved when the doctor came to check on Alice and determined that only her ankle was injured. "An unexpected incident happened, causing you to be injured and making travel inconvenient. Although the road to the army barracks is not too far away, I still don't feel secure about taking you with me." When Alice heard that, she was about to speak, but was interrupted by Irene: "No matter what you say, I won't be able to take you with me. Your father will definitely blame me for letting you get hurt. Besides, as you've heard, the war for the land has already begun. It's impossible to know what dangers await us there. So ple
The foothills of Dan Mountain, where a struggle was taking place between the north and south banks. After opening the tunnel wide enough to go through the foot of the young Dan mountain, the South Vietnamese army installed and designed the tunnel to avoid collapsing in the event of a great earthquake. Since then, they have built and gradually approached the wire mesh fence that the Northern army has prepared right next to the tunnel door."You should be prepared to take your skirts and run home to cry with the king! This thin, light-and-tear fence is nothing!""Yes! If you were afraid to withdraw now, we wouldn't consider it a disgrace. Because your northern army is as weak as women, and women should stay at home to cook and do laundry!"“Ha ha ha!”The southern army stood right at the fence, gloating and defaming one another. They liked to annoy their opponents because, for a long time, the Northern army always referred to the Southern troops as "loud empty barrels". "You fools! You
Irene came out of her old memories, anxiously watching the bright, round red moon glow against the black sky. A night sky with a bright moon but extremely dark and scary. The strange thing was that even though there weren't any clouds, the light from the stars couldn't be seen, as if all of them had lost their light. This represented a clear loss and disorientation.Irene called for a bodyguard to come with her. She ordered:"You should approach the person in that cage right now. No matter how you do it, make him faint or take him somewhere else and let him go. Prevent that person from getting a chance to join the fight. Otherwise, from this night on, war will no longer be merely a matter between two countries.""I have understood what you mean, Madam."Before the bodyguard left, Irene further instructed:"Absolutely don't let anyone find out about this. And also… Be careful and take good care of yourself."The bodyguard bowed his head and quickly left to do his duty. Although he didn
Arthur's eye color and the color of the moonlight on the crown of his head were exactly the same. Although it was luminous, it was scary and opaque. They made Berk Hill feel heavily oppressed; his throat seemed to be strangled by someone, and breathing gradually became difficult.Berk felt his heart increase a beat with each step Arthur approached. The large hand clenched the sword in his hand. Berk determined that even if he died, he must die without shame, without cowardly running away. He must fight to the last breath to be worthy of the honor of being a general of the mighty Southern Kingdom.Suddenly, Arthur stopped. His eyes widened, making Berk confused. He thought that Arthur was being distracted, and was about to rush up when a friend put his hand on his shoulder, stopping him. When Berk turned around, he realized it was the Duke Marcus Karlson."Okay, Captain Berk. Don't forget that he was also trained to be my strongest warrior. And you're definitely not his match."Berk he
(Warning: This chapter contains elements of violence, gore, and 18+. These are all imaginary elements and should not be applied to reality.)At Lentia, the howl of a wolf from somewhere made Alice a little uneasy, looking up at the cold night sky. Alice put on a long coat and a hat that covered her face, sat on the carriage, and silently moved to a place not too far from her inn. She walked down at the beginning of the alley. Alice looked at this familiar, dark and damp sloped alley, each step down making her feel disgusted and nauseous.Alice arrived in front of a shanty, shabby house. It turned out that this place used to have a door. Alice was about to raise her hand to knock on the door when a "gruh gruh" sound came from the side and then howled "whouuuuu" like a warning to someone trespassing on their territory."Wolf?"When she heard a noise inside, she looked up and quickly opened the door for herself."Miss Alice, you have arrived. Please come in."Before entering, Alice looke
