His eyes fluttered open with a weight pressing on him, and the warmth emanating from the soft body was a little too comforting.
Keith smiled and planted a light kiss on the raven head of the girl who was sleeping on top of him, and then his eyes turned to look at the enchantingly beautiful girl with the golden head, who was sound asleep with her head against his shoulder, hugging his ar...

Keith could not help himself but stare at the beautiful girl who was standing in front of him, nervously looking down at the black cub that she was holding in her arms.
She had an evident blush on her fair cheeks, and what he marvelled at was how she had developed in the last two years. Cute, yes, she was still very cute. But more than that, she was simply gorgeous.
He stepped f...

A highly prized modern vertical-lift combat helicopter landed on the Helipad 15, and two figures in casual clothes disembarked it, holding their backpacks.
From the group of soldiers, two ladies in uniform, wearing the badges of the Dragon Corps Captains, stepped forward.
"Welcome to Sam...

Special Forces Training Camp, Soul Canyon.
Yesterday, all 127 Cadets appeared in the final test, and by midnight, the results were out based on each cadet's performance in the last 45 days.
Keith was in his room right now, going through the files that had been sent to him by Six. And these files contained the information on the best Computer and Inte...
Somewhere in the Soul Canyon, the helicopter landed in a place that had no signs of life around it. The ground was barren with uneven terrain and red rocks, and only the far away Kaylx River could be seen from this height.
The helicopter ascended into the sky, flying away. Six did not say anything to him as he took his time appreciating the view. And Keith's attention soon turned to the...
The 5 am breakfast was a very silent affair. He had not slept all night and had accompanied his mother to the art room, where she made him help her with a clay sculpture.
Venessa had a hobby for Ceramic Art, and it had been a while since she had enjoyed herself so much making something out of clay.
She happily taught and chatted with Keith. And once the work was done, she made h...
The next morning, Keith silently left the Manor together with Venessa. He had to report to the Special Forces Headquarters tomorrow morning, and as he had promised, he was going to spend the entire day with his mother.
They silently drove to the east, heading towards the City of Damistris, where the Special Forces Headquarters was situated.
It was a six-hour-long journey, but Ve...
Under the dark sky with no stars or moon, two figures were walking by the side of an Aquarius fountain.
They had been silent for a while now, and the dinnertime was approaching fast.
Keith glanced at his blonde companion, who had returned from the Grayson Manor an hour ago and happened to stumble across him and Qingyue, who were returning from the forest. But seeing her still lo...
Inside the private courtyard behind the Manor, two figures could be seen engaged in combat. And they had some audience too.
Rebecca, Marianne, and Amelia curiously watched Keith and Yingying fighting against each other. They were just passing by when the fray caught their attention, and by the looks of it, it seemed like Keith was testing Yingying out.
Rebecca had never before w...

Eden State Hospital, Eden, Netheria
Three black BMW cars stopped at the front door of the hospital building, and Keith disembarked together with the ladies, heading inside the lobby.
The body of Lin Wudao was still in the custody of the Capitol Police and had not been handed over to the Lin Family yet.
Qingyue, together with Amelia, Kiara, In...
A sweet ache all over her body greeted her when the dream ended and her sterling-grey eyes opened.
There was a moment of confusion, then clarity, and what came next were waves of hazy memories from last night that warmed up her heart and body. However, in a matter of seconds, the content smile on her face stiffened, as she realised what happened last night was not a dream.
The d...
"Keith, his place is beautiful!" Celine excitedly looked down from the Helicopter and saw the beautiful estate of Château de Chantilly with its racecourse, stables, artificial lake, park, and the magnificent Grand Château.
"I know." He smiled and looked around as well. The was indeed a gorgeous piece of property, which was why he had asked for it.
"Is this Amelia's birthday gi...
On the eve of November 28th, King of France, Robert Luther Valois II, returned to the Palace of Versailles after his two weeks-long Royal visits to the four allied Kingdoms.
All the guests at the Palace, dignitaries of the Eastern Axis, USCC, South-East Asian Countries, Persian and Arabian Kingdoms, met with the King at the dinner.
There were no official talks held that night, an...
The next day, an hour before lunchtime, Keith arrived in Rebecca's and Celine's room after the day's meetings. And he found a surprise guest happily chatting with his blonde Fiancee and his aunt.
It was none other than the beautiful little princess of France.
Avriel politely smiled at him and stood up when he approached them.
"Good afternoon, Princess."
"Good afte...
"We only have a little over 2 hours left in the dinnertime. Where do you want to go next?" Keith smiled at the grey-eyed lady, who was very happy after spending nearly 4 hours in the Louvre Museum.
There were hundreds of paintings she wanted to take a good look at, and she managed to observe all of them thanks to the additional time they were given after the closure because they were th...
Celine could not help but stare at the enchantingly beautiful girl whom they stumbled across in the Flower Garden.
She had seen Qingyue when she was nine years old, and Celine could not deny that this little girl with pearl white hair and ocean blue eyes was someone who was just as beautiful as her daughter was at this age. But then her heart suddenly thumped hard when she saw the tiara...

Orly Airport, Paris, France
Keith disembarked the private jet together with Rebecca, Celine, Marianne, and Yingying. And the grey-eyed lady tensed up when she saw dozens of people in suits waiting for them.
"Ian." The Heir of the Demiliore Family smiled and shook hands with his acquaintance.
"Keith." Volos, the wandering God of Netheria, smi...
Keith helplessly shook his head when he returned to his room after a morning run and found the girls surrounding his little wife.
Rebecca and Celine were mischievously talking with Kiara, which was causing her to blush furiously. And she was not the only one who was blushing. Qingyue, Nana, and Ingrid were blushing too.
He smirked when his little sister aggrievedly looked at him...
Kiara fascinatedly stared at their hands and arms, which were covered in beautiful and magical golden Runes.
She did not understand what Amelia meant when she asked her to follow Keith's lead and recite their wedding vows in a weird language that she did not know. But as soon as the strange phenomenon started, she felt as if she was connected to Keith more than ever, and these magical R...

Demiliore Manor, Sameran City, Agnolia, Netheria
It was a beautiful day of the fall season. A soothing wind sailed past the guests who were gathered in the Rose Garden. And over their heads was a blushing sky, courtesy of the sinking sun, and wandering white clouds that added to its beauty.
This was very special day because this evening, the Heir...
Her sterling-grey eyes fluttered open but she closed them again and tightly hugged her pillow. And when her mind finally worked this out from last night, she shot up on the bed and frantically looked around the room, sighing in relief when she found Yingying sitting on the couch, drinking a cup of tea.
"Good morning, Yingying!" She happily said.
"Good morning, lady Celine!" The ...
"Ummmm!!!"
Keith chuckled when he heard a cute voice and glanced to his side, catching Celine stretching her arms after a nap.
"Why are we still on the road?" She unhappily said as she looked at the dark sky and then turned her attention to the GPS. "We are heading towards the Tyrrhenian Sea?"
"No. But our destination is only half an hour away from the sea. We are almost...

Flower Street, Regensburg, Germany
The bells chimed as the door of the Efesto Jewels opened, and in walked a tall and ridiculously handsome man, accompanied by two ladies, one Chinese, and the other a beautiful Caucasian lady who looked to be in her early thirties.
"Welcome to my humble shop, Mister Demiliore!" A polite and respectful old man bowed...
The grey-haired lady twisted right in the air and casually grabbed his guarding arm, pushing it out of the way before squarely landing a fist on his chest.
Keith failed to completely negate the attack with his Aura and fell backwards, rolling twice before controlling the momentum and sitting up, panting heavily.
"I think that's enough for today." A sonorous voice said, and Keith...
"Who was it?" Qingyue curiously asked when Keith returned to the table after attending a call.
"Sebastian." He told her. "Anthony Falken passed away this morning. He called me to inform me about this." He lightly said and then poured himself some wine.
Qingyue stared at him in shock, finding it hard to process what he had just told her.
The second son of the Falken Famil...
"Hey!" Keith opened the door of the office and brightly smiled at the lady who was sitting at the table, with her face buried in her hands.
Qingyue panicked when she heard his voice and immediately tried to school her expressions, shoving away all the distressing thoughts. But her eyes turned misty against her will when she saw the gentleness in his eyes.
Amelia calmly sat next ...
"Brother, wake up!"
A sweet voice called out to him, and Keith sensed a weight pressing on his waist, which jolted him awake.
"Morning!" He playfully smiled when he caught Kiara, straddling him.
"It's 5 pm!" She pulled her tongue at him and then curiously looked at his eyes that were returning to the shade of deep brown from the haunting amethyst.
It was something...
