Chapter 181

Ryan remembered that Magana had mentioned coming here before, to commemorate the fallen soldiers.

But she shook her head. "No, it's my family... or maybe not, I don't know, I just failed."

Magana looked somewhat forlorn; this was the first time Ryan had ever seen such an expression on her face.

He walked to the side of the boat and stepped onto it.

"To be honest, I didn't know anything about the Grand Duke."

"There's nothing to say."

"Let's just chat casually. It's always better to say it than to keep it bottled up inside."

Ryan steered the boat toward the middle of the lake. Magana sat on the gunwale, her hands on either side, and after a moment's thought, briefly told Ryan a few things.

"They were all my father's people, who died in the war of the Western Barbarian invasion, just today, as I became the Chosen of the Gods. Later, I repelled the Western Barbarian Army, protected even more people, and achieved what I have today."

"However... today is special for me. I've always been afraid to recall it because that day was so terrible. When I close my eyes, I can see fire and blood that looks like fire, right in front of me, and everyone being killed."

Magana raised her hand, her small hand reaching for the moon in the sky. "When I first became Chosen of the Gods, there were always people who said that my power was obtained by sacrificing those relatives, that it was the power of an evil Outer Gods."

"But I don't care. Even if it's Outer Gods, if He can grant my wish, I will definitely believe in Him!"

"What is the Grand Duke's wish?"

"I...I don't know." Magana was somewhat bewildered. "I used to want revenge, but then I realized that killing those Western Barbarian Army didn't make me happy; it only made me feel alive. I wanted to be emperor...actually, I didn't really want that much. I just felt that if the empire were strong enough, would no one dare to offend it anymore...and would my family still be alive?"

"I like strength and I hate weakness. Weakness means being bullied, while strength means protecting all those you cherish."

Magana looked down at the water, her legs dangling in the water. She wouldn't normally talk about this, and she wouldn't tell anyone, but for some reason, Ryan told her for her sake, and he didn't seem to feel any resistance.

Suddenly she sensed a familiar power fluctuation, the power of Path of Death passing through her. Magana turned her head in surprise and found that Ryan was being bathed in the Power of Death.

"Huh? Ryan, are you Supernatural Being from the Path of Death?"

She thought that since Ryan had joined the Burning Covenant, he should be the Son of the Sun.

Ryan chuckled, "I know a little bit."

He had never revealed his abilities to anyone before, but at this moment, Ryan felt he should do something, and he believed that Magana wouldn't harbor any ill will towards him because of this.

Soul Singer Character Card, activate!

Under Magana's questioning gaze, Ryan activated the power of the Soul Singer to guide the souls that had not yet completely dissipated.

Although Magana is powerful, she cannot guide the dead; she can only create the dead, which is exactly what the Soul Singer is good at.

Splash~~

The lone boat parted the water, creating ripples. Magana's eyes slowly widened as she watched in astonishment as wisps of souls were sent into the unknown Styx.

"I mourn for the departed," Ryan murmured softly, "And guide you home."

The Power of Death, drawing her across the Styx, made Magana seem to see familiar faces from her memories.

Only after the last wisp of soul was successfully guided away did the Power of Death slowly disappear from the lake's surface.

"Alright," he laughed. "Now, death is a new beginning; they've all gone to the new world."

Magana lowered her head. "Then I have no family left."

"Who said that? I am a relative of the Grand Duke."

"Huh?"

Magana looked up at the smile on Ryan's face, and suddenly her nose felt itchy. Why did she feel like crying? She turned her head away and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.

"Your Grand Duke, what's wrong?"

"My eyes are a little itchy because of the wind."

"You're not going to cry, are you?"

"I... I won't cry! This Grand Duke is a ruthless demon who kills without blinking an eye, how could I possibly cry!"

"Shall I take a look?"

"So annoying, so annoying! I told you I didn't cry!"

"Let me see."

"You... you bastard!"

Thump~~~

Ryan collapsed onto the ship and was tackled by Magana, who sat on top of him, her head down, her eyes red and wet, but her cheeks flushed, looking extremely shy.

"You bastard, it's all your fault! It's all your fault! You ruined me, ruined me... Waaah~"

"Oh, Your Grand Duke, please don't cry, I..."

"Don't tell!"

As the stubborn voice fell, Ryan immediately felt a soft, cool touch on his lips, and a heavy pressure on his chest.

The moment they made contact, Magana trembled, but she mustered her courage and didn't let go. Instead, she gripped Ryan's clothes even tighter, recalling the blush-inducing scenes she had read in the book.

Go, Magana!!!

First update! Last day of the month, let's go! Please vote for me! Please support me!!!

Chapter 125 Magana, Charge!!!

If Ryan knew that Magana had been reading a lot of study materials recently, he would understand why a mere Grand Duke had become so bold.

Of course, theory and practice are two completely different things, and Magana never expected this to happen.

She just acted impulsively, rushed forward, grabbed him, and kissed him hard!

And then what?

Magana gripped Ryan's clothes tightly with both hands, her body trembling with tension, unable to calmly consider her next move.

What's the next step?

What did the book say again?

How lame, Magana! At a time like this, she can't remember anything at all!

Do you still want Ryan to come? He's a complete novice who needs to be taught how to even kiss!

Although she wasn't very skilled, the fiercely competitive Magana didn't want to give up. Then she came up with a good idea: since things had come to this, she might as well kiss him first and calm down. She remembered everything in those books.

Don't underestimate the memory of a Supernatural Being. As long as she calms down, Magana believes she can definitely... Oh my god, Ryan's tongue is sticking out! Why is he sticking out his tongue?!

Magana had just calmed down a bit, suddenly went blank and had no idea what was going on.

Ryan was speechless.

No, Your Grand Duke, why are you pressing me down like this? Why don't you move a little?

Where did your earlier bravado go?

Since nothing happened after waiting for a long time, and there was no sign of anything, Ryan moved slightly. Then he felt as if the Grand Duke had completely crashed and was lying on him without any reaction.

Since that's the case, Ryan might as well go all the way.

His small, soft tongue was being tightly grasped, and at that moment, Ryan could clearly feel Magana's body temperature soaring. The warm breath that lingered around their cheeks made the atmosphere slowly become intoxicating.

Magana's body is very flexible.

Holding her in my arms, she felt like a porcelain doll.

Petite and soft, yet large.

Beneath the black Lolita dress, the heavy fruit on her chest formed a stark contrast to the sensations Ryan felt about her body.

Ah, this feeling is amazing. Ryan suddenly felt that Magana was like a little lamb being held in his arms. As he slowly groped to unbutton Magana's clothes, she was even trembling.

Until Lolita was completely undressed, under the moonlight on the lonely boat, Magana sat on Ryan's lap. The moonlight illuminated her flushed cheeks, her hands awkwardly covering her chest, and she shyly turned her head to the side, not daring to meet Ryan's eyes.

"Um... Ryan, here, next is... ah!"

Before Magana could finish speaking, Ryan sat up abruptly, jolting her backward.

She didn't fall down. Soon, Ryan's arms wrapped around her. In the moment of Magana's surprise, she let go of her hands and felt her bra being pulled down. Ryan's face instantly pressed against hers.

Magana was stunned.

So now... what's the situation?

It was so itchy, a strange, pleasurable itch that instantly washed over her. She could feel the moisture and warmth of Ryan's lips, and a slippery sensation.

Wait, wait, wait... these are contents from advanced books, right? How could Ryan know them?!

Isn't he a newbie like me?!

Oh right, some people are born with it, just like in the book... What did the book say again? It said that the environment on the Western Barbarian Grasslands is harsh, with less than half covered by grassland, the rest being desert, swamps, and even glaciers. The key to defeating the Western Barbarian Army lies in... Huh? What are these? It doesn't seem like that.

Magana's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were red and swirling around, her mind was foggy, and for a moment she couldn't tell which way was which, and she felt that her vision was spinning along with the lone boat.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

When Magana came to her senses, a cool evening breeze blew by, and she realized that she had been naked without her noticing.

Then, she felt her vision rise higher, become very high, become as high as Ryan. She hugged Ryan, her arms around his neck, and her vision was filled with blurry phantoms.

Was she picked up again?

This time, however, Magana had no strength left to be angry.

"Your Grand Duke, am I coming in?"

"..."

"..."

In the stillness of the night, a lone boat rests on the lake, the water rippling rhythmically as it is pushed aside from all sides.

Early the next morning.

Four legion commanders, including Everson, appeared outside the castle.

"Strange, didn't the Grand Duke say he was coming early this morning? Where is he?" Everson scratched his head. "Is he still sleeping in? What time is it? Are we still going to fight the Western Barbarians?"

Macaos pondered for a moment and said, "The Grand Duke may have been thinking about the attack plan late last night. Let's wait a little longer; they might arrive soon."

"Definitely not. The Grand Duke said he has already made a plan. Macaos, you don't know anything. The Grand Duke must have been sleeping in." Everson said with certainty. "It's because life in Baron was too comfortable, which made the Grand Duke lower his guard. Our Western Territory is much better, even the air is better."

Macaos remained silent, thinking to himself that he'd better say the same thing when the Grand Duke arrives.

"Speaking of which, haven't the Ryan brothers gotten up yet? These guys are really something." Everson walked to the side and said to the guard, "Go and inform the Grand Duke that we've arrived."

The guard said with a bitter face, "Lord Everson, if you want to see the Grand Duke, you can just go in yourself. I don't need to announce your arrival, do I? Even the legion commander doesn't need to announce his arrival."

Although Magana was kind to her subordinates, she occasionally lost her temper. The maids in the castle said that the Grand Duke disliked being disturbed when he was resting because (insufficient sleep would affect his growth).

Although whether you sleep well or not shouldn't have much of an impact on your height, and everyone knows that it's absolutely impossible for the Grand Duke to grow any taller now, right?

But Grand Duke believes that if she says it's possible, then it is. Grand Duke says that sleeping well helps you grow taller, and drinking milk also helps you grow taller!

In the past, someone was hung up and beaten for disturbing the Grand Duke. Although nothing serious happened in the end and they were even given two gold coins as a consolation prize, who would want to gamble on whether the Grand Duke was grumpy this morning for just two gold coins?

Anyway, he wouldn't dare to gamble.

Everson glared. "What nonsense are you spouting! The Grand Duke ordered us to wait here, so of course we have to wait here. Do you want me to disobey orders? What are you up to!"

Guard. "?"

You're so smart! You don't want to break the rules, so you make me risk my life!

"Alright, Everson, what does this have to do with him?" Macaos, speechless.

"It's all because those Western Barbarians are too arrogant, I can't stand it anymore!"

"You'd better bear with it, even if you can't." Macaos thought for a moment and said to the guard, "Go find Ryan and tell him to go find the Grand Duke."

Everson's eyes lit up. "As expected of you, Macaos! Hehe~ Let the invincible Ryan brothers think of a solution. If he gets beaten up, we'll treat him to drinks."

The guard muttered something, but still obeyed the order and went into the castle.

He ran out again after a while.
