Brazen Virtue Novels & Stories

“You think anyone else will see it that way? The media, the investors, the donors? All it takes is one slip, one mention, and the façade crumbles. You are vulnerable, my dear. And I have merely illuminated it.” Amara’s lips pressed into a thin line, but she remained calm. “Vulnerability is not weakness,” she countered, voice steady. “It is an acknowledgment of reality. But it is also a strength. You forget that people who stand on integrity are not easily shaken by lies, no matter how polished.”

“They respond to care or they do not. There is no performance.” Beatrice’s hand stilled around her cup. “For many years,” she said slowly, “I believed performance was necessary for survival.” Lillian did not interrupt. “There are families in Aurelia who endure because they adapt,” Beatrice continued. “And others who endure because they refuse to change. Both claim virtue.” She looked out toward the garden. “I wonder sometimes which is more honest.” “Honesty is expensive,” Lillian said. “Not everyone can afford it.” Beatrice turned back to her with a look that held curiosity and something deeper. “You speak as if you have paid that price.”

"I am glad that you do not understand that, because it shows that you are already firmly and safely on Hyaun's path," he said with satisfaction. “And never forget: the highest virtue is self-modesty. Never ask for more for yourself than you really need and always share what you have with others. Then you are an honorable member of the Hyaun community. ”He paused, obviously to let his words sink in. "There's one thing I still don't understand!" Raen burst into the meaningful silence. "If we are the farmer with the cow and Askhar is the neighbor who knocks on our door, then we are no better th

"All involved with the ritual are doing well. " "That's good," Erys sighed. Kali could practically see his relief. "Indeed," Len agreed. "I must admit, Nyxie and the tigress are quite entertaining and smart," Salax grinned, making Erys chuckle. Out of nowhere, Kali quizzed them. "Can anyone tell me what the seven virtues are?" The three looked at each other and listed them off. Granted it was slow but they got them all right. Kindness, charity, patience, humility, diligence, chastity, and temperance. "Correct, And I will tell you something that only I know. Nyxie is one of them, so is Nia. Take your guesses." Kali listened as they guessed. Elysium guessed right on charity for Nyxie but they

The Void Kill Emperor spoke again, and then the Void Kill power that covered Vivian Arnold's body disappeared without a trace, which made Derek Alexander and Vivian Arnold both sneer even harder.

"Fortunately, this is not beyond my expectations. After all, the performance of this kind of trash, you showed a lot when you were in the lower world back then." Hearing that, Brenna Abhaya clenched her fists, her eyes flashed through the endless Fire, as if it could burn Killing Religion to almost nothing.

"You're too softhearted," he replied in a quiet voice. She turned her hard brown eyes upon him. "Do I sense judgment for my feminine weakness?" "Far from it. Having a soft heart is a virtue, not a sin. And it's not a trait restricted to females. Men can be that way as well, just as women can be as hard as any man. Venetia Sharpe, for example." Audrey's eyes sharpened. "Oh? How so?"

As I walk, few people dare to look at me in fear of getting carried away with their stare, as no one who looks at me can look away, not even if they want to. I was wearing a silk green robe, my hair like silk, almost reaching my ass, my skin glowing under the light, my face to die for. I clicked my tongue as I passed through a room door while hearing Leonardo and Mary's groans and moans; the sound of skin hitting skin was also vivid. Although the person person being cheated upon was my mom I don't care at all. Not only because I was trained with heartlessness and cruelty although it's part of it, but the main reason was that my mom chose to be a damsel in safety. How can something that she s

When something is taken from us, we either take it back or find a new one to claim. Ben snorted with a dry smile. Yeah, yeah, the Virtus code. ‘That slimy Lux fox thinks he can strong-arm us?’ She scoffed in disgust. ‘Is the Virtus gift a joke to him?’ Ben’s righteousness coincided with Jewel. Bankrupt?
