"But you could get hurt, sir," Amanda softened her voice this time, not wanting Illarion Black to get hurt. "Now you know how I feel about stopping you, right?" Amanda nodded. "Okay then, as long as you don't mind, sir." Chairman Fang looked very worried, as he couldn't possibly let the ruler of Anarka sacrifice himself for just one Artias resident. He didn't want his territory to be attacked by the black legion if anything happened to the tall, handsome man. "T-That's impossible, sir. I can't let you make this sacrifice." While patting Chairman Fang's shoulder, Illarion said, "You don't have to worry, just gather the residents and have them cut bamboo according to the size I ask for, also prepare fabric that can hold water. Rain is the worst-case scenario that could happen." Chairman Fang couldn't say anything else. The muscular old man quickly nodded in agreement. After all, he didn't know what else to do. "Come on," Illarion said with a smile, kneeling to Amanda, then patting

"Are you here?" Illarion asked as he jogged slowly towards Amanda.The orange color of the sun disappearing on the horizon made Amanda's snow-white hair and face glow a reddish hue.'I hated this light as if it reminded me of the day my mother was burned. But now, the same light gives a charming beauty to Amanda, and I don't hate that color anymore. Is it because of Amanda? Or has the time finally healed this trauma?' Illarion thought to himself.Amanda's purple eyes widened in surprise. "Sir, you're wearing a color other than black?" she asked.Illarion now wore a brightly colored blue shirt with rolled-up long sleeves, although he still wore black trousers and high-heeled black leather shoes.When the black-clad guards were surprised to see Illarion wearing an unusual color, he appeared unconcerned. But when Amanda realized and mentioned it, he scratched his non-itchy neck out of embarrassment."I, I ran out of clothes. This belongs to your husband," Illarion replied hastily. The sh

"No!" Max shouted loudly."What is the reason for you that you do not want to have a father like me?" Illarion asked, pulling on his collar.There was a commotion between father and son in the simple forest house courtyard as they walked to Max's school. Amanda, who usually accompanied the little boy, was now replaced by Illarion - at his own request."Because of you! You're not worthy of my mother! I prefer Uncle Peter," Max argued."Maximilian Amarion Black!" Illarion shouted, surprising Max with the loudness of his voice and the use of the full name he had made up overnight. It was a simple name; Black was his surname.The little boy furrowed his brow. "What, old man? What are you calling me?""Maximilian Amarion Black," repeated Illarion with a smirk as if proud of the name he had come up with overnight. Black was his last name, and Amarion was a combination of Amanda and Illarion's names. Illarion wasn't creative in coming up with names like Amanda, but he spent the whole night t

Illarion smiled as he leaned against the wooden door, not wanting to disturb the emotional atmosphere of his son and wife. "It must be challenging for them to accept me among them after not living together for eight years. But I truly can't live without you, Amanda." A bright morning has dawned in Artias. Today, a party would be held. Although it was a closed and impromptu event, the extravagance of this occasion surpassed the grandeur of the recent Black Emperor's reception. The path from the Artias residents' meeting hall to Amanda's house was adorned with live flowers as a roadside fence, torch lights, and bottles filled with fireflies hanging along the way. Its rose petals spread out like a soft and fragrant red carpet. All of it led to a place in the sideyard of that house. Simple and comfortable wooden chairs in pastel colors, beautiful cascading white flowers, and a lovely altar combined beautifully. A wedding party was going to be held in Artias. It was one of the most luxu

"Oh, I dare not tell Galela who the Lord truly is," Amanda thought with a sad smile, then glanced at Illarion Black, who was also looking back at her from afar.He was surrounded by guests and important figures in Artias. Illarion gently patted the shoulder of Chairman Fang, who always stood by his side, before bidding farewell to the ruler of Artias.The Black Emperor was seen walking toward a group of children, Max's friends."What are you all doing?" Illarion Black asked. All of Max's friends immediately fell silent. After a while, some of the children started whimpering. At the same time, the chubby boy right next to Illarion changed his expression from a joyful smile to holding back tears. And his pants were wet; he had wet himself."Mama!" the children cried out and scattered, searching for their respective mothers. Illarion indeed had a terrifying aura, and the young children saw him as a predatory monster. However, in their minds, he also looked very cool.Max furrowed his bro
