POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 27: A Lovey-Dovey Fight When night came, Lixien stared into the vase which had the withered flower in it previously. As of now, it was changed into a beautiful, new flower which one couldn’t pinpoint that it was actually changed. When she learned of the embezzlement of money between a duke of the Lhuxia Empire, she was in distress. Did the emperor not notice such an unavoidable issue? No, it’s not possible. How can a man like him be unable to see such a thing? That’s impossible. As she was very concentrated in her thoughts, she didn’t feel that Vailan had come into the room. He held her long hair and caressed it, which made her gasp and looked back, wary. “Why?” He asked worriedly. She relaxed a bit after seeing that it was only him. And to be honest, she has been putting her guards down in this room. How can she be sure that nothing dangerous can happen here? Looking at the man, who probably hates her for having distraught and messy parents, sh
POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 28 Lixien suspiciously gazed at Vailan but she was smiling as she was doing so. He held her hand tighter and walked into the narrow passageway. Vailan let out a soft chuckle and told Lixien. “Don’t you think this is quite enjoyable?” Lixien looked up to him and tilted her head, clueless at what he was saying. “I mean, going out in the middle of the night.” She looked at him dumbfoundedly, as if she was blaming her and she was in disbelief. “Weren’t you the one who asked me out? Are you now regretting it?” He giggled and shook his head, leading her out of the passageway and smiling, pointing with his other hand the thing he wanted to show to her. When she followed the direction of his hand, she gasped and covered her mouth with her free hand, smiling brightly when her vision was filled with the fountain. “This is what I want to show you. Is it beautiful?” He looked down at her and was pleased at her reaction. He was expecting that she would be
POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 29: TO BE A FAMILY Vailan was the one to wake up first. He rose up from the bed and looked at Lixien, who was already opening her eyes and sat up beside him. “You’re up.” She said and reached out her hand to tidy his hair that was unkempt from sleeping. She chuckled and he sighed. “You made such a mess while sleeping, didn’t you?” She asked again and he giggled. Somehow, they became comfortable with each other, and they didn’t notice it. They felt that their sudden closeness was natural. He laughed and let her fix his hair willingly. “Are you going to banish Duke Lian now?” Lixien pondered about it and lowered her hands. She felt that Vailan was starting to trust her. When did it start? She answered with a smile. “Yes. Will you accompany me?” She asked sincerely and he nodded. The tension between them had changed to cozy. “Of course. Do you want to visit him personally or order him to go here?” Duke Lian is an official with many followers
POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 30: PunishmentLixien sat on the throne beside Vailan and she nodded at him when they saw Duke Lian’s figure and Vailan nodded back at her, as if telling her to prepare for whatever to come between them. Duke Lian glanced at them cunningly and sneakily. He smirked and kneeled down, greeting them with such politeness and Vailan was the first one to speak. “Lixien told me about your iniquitous doings with other three low-ranking officials. Say what your claims are, Duke Lian.”Duke Lian had his cold sweats running on his back and looked at them nervously and hastily kneeled down again, bowing at them until his forehead bled and cried. “Your Majesties, I was wronged! Please have mercy and search for justice for me!”He pleaded with such guilt evident in his voice and smirked. No matter how much he embezzled, the emperor can’t possibly take him out as one of the traitors of the empire. Because he is the best provider of papers. The emperor wouldn’t have t
POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 31: Start Of UsVailan and Lixien had their appearances changed, therefore no one would be able to recognize them even if they knew the faces of the highest authority in the empire. Vailan went away for a moment to tie the horse with Dev guarding it far from them. He was given the task to keep his eye on the horse. The commander-in-chief of the knights is now guarding the mere horse while waiting for the two to end their date. Dev closed his eyes and groaned.“They’re so annoying.”He blurted and looked at the bright sun above him. He sighed and looked ahead at Vailan, who was a bit running while approaching Lixien, who was waiting for him outside the mall when they arrived. Lixien doesn’t know that Dev had arrived to accompany them in the shadows, nor does Vailan bother himself to inform her.“A sudden date…”Dev muttered and breathed out. He felt that Vailan was a meek person when it comes to his wife. He was definitely in love but denies it every tim
POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 32: A Sudden Meet Up It was late at night and Leen told her that Dallan had written a reply to her, and she quickly opened to see it and as expected, Dallan was willing. She also mentioned that Lixien should give up the Vanhi residence to her husband. When Lixien thought about it, it was a rational move. If she gave up the Vanhi residence to her husband, she was sure that he’d manage it well, so she readily wrote a reply to her, asking her to go to the palace as soon as possible. “Leen, please send this back quickly.” Leen nodded and bowed, before leaving. But after facing the door, Leen stopped and told Lixien. “Your Majesty, the Emperor has told me that he won’t be able to sleep with you tonight.” Lixien turned to Leen and was momentarily spacing out. It seems that the emperor was overwhelmed with work. It was because he went on a date with her earlier and she only smiled, not taking it to her heart seriously. “Sure. You can go now, and I’ll
POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 33: FIRST ONE Days went by and the banquet had come finally. The people were noisy and bussing, there were groups containing ladies and so groups that contained guys. They were wearing formal dresses despite the fact that they were only commoners. They were partying while Lixien and Vailan were upstairs looking down on them, twirling their goblets with a smile. “Is this how you please your people?” Lixien asked him and looked at his side profile. He lifted the corners of his mouth and replied, “Maybe? This is a good start to my reign.” Lixien nodded and Dallan, who had become her lady-in-waiting, politely took the goblet from her hand, and put it on the table near them. Dallan bowed and waited behind her, as she looked around while the people down were happy and were partying. Dallan saw a lady walking upstairs with a knight behind her, who was seemingly stopping her but couldn't. Dallan frowned and said to them, “Lady Hina has arrived, Your Majest
POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 34: RUMORS Lixien waited in the garden and sipped the tea that Dalla served for her. It was the day that she and other noble ladies were going to have tea. It was said to be enjoyable but throughout her life, this is the third time she’d experience this. Before her father revolted, she was once invited to a tea party hosted by the Bach family. The soldier she saw on the day she was officially crowned as the empress, she saw one of its family, Senour Bach. She didn’t expect that she’d see him here. She had seen him once as the Miss of Vanhi, along with his younger sister who is currently on talk of possible engagement with the Hemnet family. It was said that they had never seen each other before they married but the talk of their engagement was on fire in the capital.These past days, she had worked all day and had slept only for four hours at least when she’s fortunate, but some incidents happened that she couldn’t sleep a wink. Vailan and her had bee
