Boom!!!!!!!!!!
"We, the Sphain army, will destroy the Dirts Kingdom!!"
With those words, the Sphain army appeared in great numbers. They are the villains. They plan to crush this kingdom and take it over. Moreover, there is a civil war raging within the country. In Dirts, only the royal family and nobles feast on wealth, while the common people suffer in poverty.
The royal family also faces various hardships, but neither the Sphain army nor the people know about them. Sphain was originally a neighboring country of Dirts, and the royal palace where I live was once Sphain’s territory two hundred years ago. However, now those areas are all part of the royal capital, and the Sphain mainland has become a distant island nation, so there’s almost no connection anymore. Also, the citizens of Dirts have a relatively high educational level compared to other countries, with a literacy rate exceeding about 80%, and the economy is quite stable. Yet, the further you go into rural areas, the more prevalent child labor and early marriage become, and academic performance tends to be noticeably lower. Of course, this is not the citizens’ fault but a political issue and ultimately the responsibility of us, the royal family—an immediate challenge to address. For now, that’s why neither the Sphain army nor the citizens know much.
The Sphain army is strong. They have many people with incredibly powerful weapons. They use many weapons and devices no one has ever seen or heard of before. Especially their warships are exceptionally strong, earning the nickname "Invincible Fleet." Even with the best military strategists of the Dirts Kingdom, the Sphain army’s brilliant plans have cornered Dirts.
Ruifeng said, "Lord Cyrus, it seems like it’s over."
Lord Cyrus frowned painfully. "Don’t say that. If you give up, then I…"
Lord Ruifeng and Lord Cyrus are childhood friends. Before the war, meaning two hundred years ago, they were descendants of the king and his younger brother, so though very distant, they are relatives as well.
The two are close friends but look like opposites. Lord Ruifeng has white skin, silver-thread-like hair, and ice-blue eyes, while Lord Cyrus has brown skin, glossy black hair, and deep emerald-green eyes like high-quality emeralds. Standing side by side, they look like white and black wings, so beautiful it’s easy to get mesmerized.
Behind them, the battle continues fiercely. Their clothes are tattered and bloodied. Realizing this is their end, they clasp hands.
Lord Cyrus said, "Ruifeng… there’s something I want to tell you before we go."
Ruifeng replied, "What is it, Lord Cyrus? Calling me like that with such a sad voice isn’t like you."
Lord Cyrus said, "No, listen, I’ve loved you for a long time!"
Ruifeng’s lips trembled, and tears welled up!
"Why now…? I wish I’d heard those words sooner!"
"Ruifeng… I’m sorry I couldn’t say it earlier. If we’re reborn, let’s be together then."
"Lord Cyrus…!"
They embraced tearfully. Diamond-like droplets rolled down their cheeks, sparkling like diamond dust as they were absorbed into the sky…
At that moment!
“Wait!”
“I won’t allow this!”
Suddenly, mysterious figures appeared! Two beautiful women in knight’s attire stood before them.
They are the Chadelan Sisters, knights who protect love, justice, law, and order.
The younger sister Marie has fiery red hair, tall and slender with cool eyes, long legs, and a large chest—truly a formidable woman!
The elder sister Anastasia is adorable! She looks younger than me, petite with porcelain-like skin, softly waving golden hair, vivid blue eyes, round peach-like cheeks, a delicate chin, and small lips—really doll-like. After marrying Lord Ruifeng, she still works in the Artisan District, creating marvelous clothes! Her craftsmanship is extraordinary! Not only is the workmanship meticulous, but the theme is perfect—a style of male attire that allows a woman to retain her delicate feminine beauty while looking dignified and bold. When I wore one of her creations just once, I almost fainted! It’s truly wonderful! I hope to show it to you, sir, so please come to the royal palace someday.
