“Sir! Sir, Her Majesty has successfully given birth, but she is now on her deathbed.” The servant stood trembling, his face filled with fear of the king’s reaction.“Really? Hahaha… good work. What a dutiful wife. A dutiful wife. She gave birth to a son, didn’t she? Ahh, finally. Unfortunately, she was a fragile woman; she certainly couldn’t withstand my magic-filled blood. What a pity. But dying for her king is without a doubt her greatest achievement, hahaha.”King Edward walked away, humming a joyful tune and thanking all the listening gods. After his concubine had given birth to his first son, Carlos, none of his other concubines managed to bear a boy. Whenever he had a daughter, he ordered both her and the mother executed, believing girls to be a bad omen. If he must have a daughter, she would be his last child.Edward left behind in the room a woman filled with hatred and resentment—his favored concubine Celestia, Carlos’s mother. After he left, she screamed at the servant, paci

The return of Lia was rejected, especially by the concubines who had killed their daughters and been deprived of the right to motherhood.But elsewhere, far away from anything the eyes could see…“Hmmm… has my beautiful one truly returned?”A rough, deep voice echoed, carrying terrifying joy.“At last… your absence was long, my little one.”He paused for a moment… then whispered:“It is time to fulfill my promise…”Be ready to receive your punishment…?“My beautiful swan…”The Fifth World is ruled by the ideal spirits of ice, or water, since ice originates from water.The descendants of this lineage have the ability to control the water element and manipulate temperature to turn it into ice.In other words:“They are chosen by the water element and have a high affinity with it.”The Fifth World is divided into twelve kingdoms:1.

"Hehe, catch me if you can.""Oh? Do you want a race? But I warn you, across all Seven Divine Worlds, there is no one faster than me. So when you lose, don’t come crying and say I cheated.""Nonsense! Who would come crying to a beautiful monster like you? Hmph, how arrogant. You're just scared of losing. Face me and you'll see.""Hahaha… we'll see who ends up crying in the end, my... immature little swan.""Who are you calling an 'immature little swan'? I told you many times, I’m not a swan, I am—"Gasp.Lia woke up from that dream, trying to steady her breathing."Miss, are you awake? Thank goodness, I was so worried. Please rest while I inform my lady that you’ve awakened."The maid hurried outside, leaving Lia behind as she tried to remember the dream she had just seen... but she couldn’t.She looked around her."Strange... where am I? This isn’t my room, nor is it our secret hideout, so this means..."She was inside an enormous room—no, it would be more accurate to call it an enti

Painful… painful… painful.Lia gasped from the intensity of the pain.A faint whisper echoed, tearing hearts apart:“Master Yu, didn’t I order you to take care of her until we returned? How could you be this careless? Hm?”Vitalia harshly scolded old Yu after they had been summoned for an important meeting, leaving him with the task of “watching over her” inside the imperial library.And of course, watching over her meant preventing her from reading things she was never supposed to know.Old Yu fell to his knees, trembling under the tyrannical pressure released by his mistress.“M-My Lady, I swear I hid that book well… but…”“The audacity!”Vitalia pressed down with her power, causing old Yu to explode into a feast of flesh and blood before being revived again. Thus, he experienced death and life thousands of times over.“M-My Lady… mercy, please…”Yu sobbed, begging her to end his miserable life once and for all instead of torturing him.Vitalia’s anger reached unprecedented levels a

The first day passed with agonizing slowness...Lia sat in the corner of the room, hugging her knees to her chest while the sound of her empty stomach echoed through the eerie silence. She tried to ignore the pain... but hunger was not something that could simply be ignored.By the second day, she no longer felt hungry...But something worse.A light dizziness...Blurred vision...And a weakness that made even lifting her hand feel exhausting.“This is better... a skinny concubine suits the prince better. At least a beautiful body, even if the face is ugly.”The queen’s words echoed in her mind like a slap.As punishment for insulting the queen and causing her numerous troubles... Lia was assigned cleaning and laundry duties in the second princess’s room as a “light” punishment.As for that week...It was not a week.It was a chain of humiliations.One time, juice spilled onto the floor...It was not an accident.“Oops... clean it again.”Malak said it with a cold smile.Lia knelt dow
