A maniac in beauty. A five-dimensional upgraded being. With a selfish gene that captures both beauty and acting ability. A winner of trophies.

Selena, the protagonist of all these descriptions, looked down at the bottom of the cliff, breathing hard.

“Or, we can skip this scene.”

The manager whined in his voice, looking down from the side at the bottom of the cliff simultaneously.

Selena shook her head with a smile. She felt like she was burning with tension, but she did not want to show it.

“I have to work hard to win the trophies this year.”

Trophies for acting worldwide are not given for free.

“Oh. But, sister. They say there were a lot of accidents here, and they have not found a single missing person.”

“Where did you hear those strange rumors?”

“Oh, come on. It’s real. The Director got stuck in such a strange place for no reason!”

“On the contrary, it will be a big hit if the shoot ends well.”

“But, we should not have any accident!”

“I know, I know. But don’t you smoke often?”

The manager seemed as if he would start crying. It was difficult to understand who was comforting whom.

“Let’s start filming!”

“Yes!”

Selena relaxed with a deep breath and rearranged her expression.

She has done a couple of tests with all the safeguards before. But this was scary. And she was tense.

“Start!”

And when she is tense, accidents always happen.

“Miss Selena!”

“Hold!”

It happened in a flash.

There was a gust of wind. Very unexpected. A safety device was pulled out of the rapid wind. The body of Selena, which lost its balance, flew into the air.

There was no time for her to scream. Her body from the cliff began to fall sharply down the cliff. Selena fainted at the moment. It was rather fortunate.

***

“Hah……”

Selena’s whole body felt sore, twisted, and cold.

‘Of course, diving into the sea from the cliff would be painful and cold.

Selena opened her eyes slowly, thoughtlessly.

She could feel the touch of the hard stone behind her back.

‘Did I not die….?’

She blinked her eyes while laying down, trying to focus on the blurry sight before her.

Trees with a heap of snow on them came into view.

…Mountain? Forest?’

She was confused. A forest should not have been here since she jumped into the sea from a cliff with no tree. Moreover, the raw and biting wind dug into her thin clothes when it must have been summer…

‘Have I been hurt so badly that I can’t even recognize my surroundings?’

However, the location was never suitable.

She forced herself to raise her body. She was in better shape than she thought.

“Oh, it’s this good?”

She could sit up easily.

As she sat up and looked around, she could see a scene that was more incomprehensible. All she could see was just trees, leaves, stones, and mountains. There was no other way. She was just lying on a pile of snowy leaves.

“…..What? Where? Why? Hidden camera?”

If there was a hidden camera, she would have known beforehand.

Now that she was a skilled actor, she could tell what happened just by depicting the atmosphere in the set.

But today, there was a serious shooting scene. Furthermore, there could not be such suspicious hidden cameras planned because they were illegal for a great actress like her.

“Then….am I dreaming?”

However, it was too realistic to be a dream. The cold wind that was hitting her skin, the coldness of the snow that was permeating her shoes, and some monster that was running towards her.

… Monster?’

It was a monster.

‘It wouldn’t be coming here to greet me, right?’

But a monster was a monster. It was as tall as a five-story building. It had a structure like that of a crocodile with split skin all over its body.

“Grrrrrr!”

The sharp claws on the hoofed feet raised by the monster flew towards Selena. Of course, it didn’t warn me by saying, “I’m attacking now”.

Boong-!

“Wha-what is this!”

She rolled her body instinctively.

The job of an actor is, after all, a fight between mental and etiquette. All kinds of martial arts and sports that have been mastered for physical strength have been shown.

Boom!

Just before the sharp claws fell, she managed to roll herself away. However, the monster was not someone who wanted to stop.

“Ha!”

Although she was trained for some physical activity, she had a different sense from the actual performance. A second attack was unavoidable. Selena closed her eyes tightly.

Suddenly, there was a gust of wind. Instead of the splitting pain, the terrifying sound of leather tearing penetrated her ears.

“-?!”

Selena opened her eyes, surprised. She could see the night sky with three moons gleaming. The dark blue sky was divided into a sharp silver.

“Garrrrrr!”

The grotesque screams of the monster resounded. It was so loud and terrible to the point where one’s shoulders would cringe by themselves.

She could not get up as she had sprained herself when she tried to roll away on the hillside a little while ago. Selena raised her head, looking back at the monster. It was struggling, with traces of thick green blood everywhere.

Then, she noticed, in front of her was a man with his cloak fluttering in the wind.

The arm swinging the sword at the monster was not the only one. The mixture of swords that cut through the air reflected the moonlight as they sparkled silver.

Every time the swords glittered, the monster was dismembered. Eventually, it collapsed. The man swung the sword silently, shaking off the foreign substance and turning around.

A mysterious man who carved a monster into a meatball.

He can’t be an actor. That feeling never comes with acting. That was a real monster, and this man really seemed powerful.

The man, who smashed the being, approached Selena bit by bit. She could not say anything as she was intimidated by an unbelievable situation a while ago.

Selena struggled to pull up her sedentary body. Her legs were shaking with shock. The man who was slowly approaching her opened his mouth.

” ******?”

She could not understand any of the man’s words.

“….Pardon?”

She had a bad feeling. There were all kinds of stories in the world. Many of them were about a dimensional shift.

Chills ran down through her spine. A place and weather that does not add up, a monster that’s still unbelievable, and the man in front of her eyes.

…No way! Dimensional shift?’

No way, all these do not explain anything.

Moreover, there is no one in the world who looked like him. White skin like the moon and grayish hair and eyes. It was a mysterious color that could not be produced with dyeing and lenses.

Clothes worn by the man, who was neither Korean nor foreign, were likely to appear in a medieval fantasy.

“! ****

“

More importantly, Selena has been to every corner of the world because of her career. But the language, in which the man spoke, wasn’t of any country she knew.

This confirmed the doubt.

This was a different world.

She got goosebumps all over her forearms and neck.

‘Dimensional shift was a real thing?!’

She thought this was only possible in novels and films.

‘In fiction, language patches were automatic when

dimensionally shifted……’

Since it wasn’t like that, this was not a fiction. She really was transferred to a world completely separated from hers.

“Oh my, this is crazy….”

She clasped her hands around her flustered head. What was she going to do? Now that she has moved to another dimension, should she shatter all her aspirations?

The man quietly watched Selena, lifting his hand towards her.

….Does he want to hold my hand?’

He saved her life, but still, she was suspicious of his intentions. It was better to just listen to him quietly because she did not know how many more monsters were still lurking in the shadows.

Selena hesitated to reach out to him. The man took a metal ring out of his pocket and put it on the wrist of Selena. A slender metal bracelet was tightened to fit a slender forearm.

“What the hell…..”

Selena looked down at her wrist and muttered casually.

“….. Eh?!!”

She uttered out awkwardly.

“Wha-what is this?!”

Every word she uttered popped out into a strange language. As she looked up at the man reflexively, he lifted his head in a flimsy way.

“It is working.”

“Uhh!”

She could hear all the words of the man. Selena pointed at him, only repeating, “Uhh!” like a mute woman.

The man shook his head lightly.

“Is the connoisseur not working?”

“No, ha, uhh!”

“No, it is not working anymore.”

“Uhh, ha, wake up!”

“I have confirmed that it works properly, so you don’t have to repeat the same thing twice.”

Only then did she come to her senses after hearing the man’s cold voice. Now that she has moved to another dimension, there might be tools that can help in the interpretations. She asked with a straight face.

“Where are we? Who am I?”

The man shifted his gaze at Selena and asked instead of answering

“Do you know where this is?”

“…..No. I don’t.”

“I think you can answer your second question.”

“….. That’s true.”

The man kept his mouth shut, watching her. The arrogance of skipping even a single question made her laugh.

“Based on the circumstances, I guess you are a human being from a different world.”

“I suppose so.”

The man was not very surprised at the dimensional shift. The fact that he calmly fitted an interpreter on her wrist showed that he was familiar with this situation.

“By any chance, are there a lot of people who crossover between worlds?”

“That’s what it looks like.”

“Oh….. It’s the first time I have ever.”

She still could not believe that she was talking about a dimensional shift with the nuance of “A good harvest of strawberries every year” with a person from some other world.

“Every few years, we find a body or some skeleton, but it’s the first time that someone is alive.”

“Ha-haha…..”

“That was a very creepy explanation.’

Selena laughed nervously.

The man might have finished the beast, but he started cleaning up the mess by wiping the dirt away from the monster, with an air of indifference as if one had forgotten that Selena was present.

She wondered if there was any other beast like this, but she had to stay close to the man until she assured her safety. Selena approached him in a gentle manner, wearing an “actress” smile that he can’t refuse even if he wants to.

“So, do you… fight monsters here?”

The man giggled. But this dropped the ambient temperature further.

‘He looks scary when he laughs.’

The man revealed his identity with a sneer as if he was being sarcastic.

“I am the master of the North, the leader of the Renbird family, and the Duke of the Arkline Kingdom, the Kalcion Renbird.”

“….Wow.”

….. He was actually the Duke of the North.

She had been told that her intuition was sharp, but she did not know it would be this accurate. Seolina looked at the face of the Northern Duke, Kalcion, again while admiring her own senses.

It turns out that she has entered the Kingdom of a cold Duke. Even his name, Kalcion, had a killing intent itself.

“Ah….yes. Nice to meet you. I am Seol…No, Selena.”

Instead of her real name, she used a foreign name. She thought her real name would stand out too much and that they may have difficulty in pronouncing it.

[T/N: Please forgive us for making a mistake in the previous chapter. We have mistaken the FL’s name to be Selena. Her

real name was Seolina. But we are going to use ‘Selena’ from now on.]

“Selena.”

Fortunately, Kalcion did not have any difficulty in pronouncing it. Also, there was no particular reaction when he heard my name, which is why I didn’t know if it was a strange name or not.

“Yes. Nice to meet you.”

She wondered if she should be polite to him as he was a duke, but she did not know what this world’s etiquette was like, and most of all, she was not his subordinate. She smiled and stretched out her hand as if she was dealing with someone she met for the first time.

“What is this for?”

Kalcion looked down at Selena’s hand in a crooked way.

“This is a form of greeting.”

‘Do I have to explain this?’ Selena shook her head in dismay.

‘Nevermind.’

As she was about to withdraw her hand, Kalcion grasped it. His hand was big and rough enough to make her heart dangle.

“Now we have to shake our…..”

‘Wait.’

But Kalcion’s shapely lips were already touching Selena’s hand.

She was so surprised that she could not say anything. Her mouth became stiff.

This should not have been surprising to her as this act was quite common in the world she used to live. It was occasional for her as she had to greet foreigners at an award ceremony or

at a similar event.

However, it was surprising when a person like the Northern Duke, who seemed to be good only at cutting things, did this naturally.

The greeting was short and concise. ‘Just a formality, if you tell me.’ Kalcion raised his head and smiled curiously.

“It seems that you are a commoner, but what you showed was a noble spirit.”

The clothes Selena was wearing now were the same clothes she wore on set. The role she was playing was a tragic heroine who collapsed in poverty.

Again, it looked even shabbier as she tried to roll on the dusty path to save herself from the monster.

“There was no distinction between nobles and commoners in the place where I lived. We are all equal.”

“…..I see.”

Kalcion seemed disappointed and lost for words.

“By any chance, did you want me to be an aristocrat?”

“That way, you will be more useful to me.”

‘Useful?’

Somehow, an ominous foreboding flashed through her. She was going to find out the reason why she was rescued.

“Am I useless if I am not an aristocrat?”

“It’s up to you, but in my opinion, you will be less useful.”

“What happens if I am useless?”

This question deepened Kalcion’s smile, but she felt goosebumps. Suddenly, she felt an instinctive fear towards his smile. She did not have a chance of appreciating it.

“If you want to go down the mountain alive, you will have to be useful. If not, you can go by yourself.”

This was a deep mountain where monsters lived. She could understand this was a danger zone where people could not know when, where, and how they would die if Kalcion isn’t present. Selena did not have any other choice.

“Ah, yes, I am really useful! I was very useful in the world where I came from. I’m sure I can maintain my dignity here too.”

Selena rushed to promote herself. It was like the moment when she had to do her best to appeal to the public.

“Hmm……”

However, Kalcion seemed unconvinced. Her charm might not be useful in this world. If he left her like this, she would not be able to survive alone in this monstrous place.

“That’s it. They will have no problem throwing away another foreign being anyway.’

Moreover, his cold words and actions towards her confirmed that he did not care if she died.’

When he was about to turn around, Selena pleaded.

“I would do anything you want! Just give me a few days!”

“Of course, you have to give me something if you want to live in my land.”

Hearing this, Selena’s face began to turn white. Was he asking her to devote herself to him completely?

“Well then, I will get another person and….”

“Cut the crap. I was asking if you can provide your knowledge or skills from your world for the development of the Renbirds.”

…….huh?’

It was surprisingly a common proposal. Fortunately, he must have been a capable Northern Duke, not a bloody killer-type Northern Duke.

Selena was quick to think. She thought that the latest technology would work better than art and weaponry.

“I have a wireless communication device called a mobile phone…….”

Since she was filming, she did not have anything else other than her cellphone, which was in her pocket.

“Can you reproduce this technology?”

“…..No.”

Selena did not know anything about engineering, neither was she from a large corporation. Kalcion quickly denied.

“Then quit.”

‘Oh no. I’m screwed.’

In fiction, people could cheat on their own partners through

their mobile phones, but here, her opponent was the Northern Duke.

She could not give up now of all times when she just slipped into an unknown world. Selena changed her course and proposed frankly.

“I still….may be able to contribute to the development of your culture and art.”

Culture was mostly treated better than anything else. Will it work in a fantasy world where you can beat monsters with a sword? She was puzzled.

“Culture and art? What are you good at?”

Unexpectedly, Kalcion reacted positively.

“I’m good at almost all things with my body.”

To become a world-class top actress, the combination of physical strength, muscularity, and talent was important. There was no skill that she did not learn. But, she could not tell

what was expected in this strange world.

“You don’t need to do it with your body.”

‘I don’t think that’s good either.’ In the end, Selena revealed her main job in a pensive manner.

“I am a good actress.”

“Acting? Hmm….”

Somehow, Kalcion was interested. For the first time, instead of a cold smile, Selena received a look of interest from him.

….Huh? Is that it?’

She never thought the Duke would be interested in acting. Good for her. It was an opportunity to increase the chances of her living.

“Yes. I was a famous actress in the world where I used to live. I was a proud actress who was among the best, combining both beauty and acting.”

“Hmm. Go ahead.”

“So whatever the role is….pardon? What?”

Kalcion snapped his finger.

“Let me see your act.”

“Ah, a-ah, yes……he-here?”

“Why? Can’t you?”

‘Why did it sound like “Or do you want to die?” ?’

“I can do it.”

In the first place, she had no other choice but to do as he says. Kalcion folded his arms and stared at Selena with his serious and earnest eyes.

‘What the hell is going on…..’

Next to her was the dead corpse of the monster. Its sticky

green blood is all over the place covered with snow.

There was nothing she could not do. She was shooting for a tearful romantic scene before.

“What act should I perform?”

“Anythi-….hmm, the role of a wicked woman?”

“A wicked woman?”

She expected a further explanation, but the Duke kept quiet. Only his eyes threatened her to choose between ‘acting’ or ‘dying here’.

“…..Do it as you feel like.”

Selena breathed calmly, without panicking.

In entertainment programs, a situational play was given to test the actors. Even the top actors from all over the world were not an exception. Selena took a deep breath and started.

“Hey.”

His desperate expression, which he had just built, disappeared in an instant. With his mouth and his eyes wide open, Kalcion turned his head sharply.

“…..What?”

It seemed as if Kalcion had been smacked across his face for the first time in his life.

The Northern Duke, who cut the monster with a single strike, had that look on his face. It makes it seem like a sword stabbed his neck. Her heart shrank to the point of being as small as a walnut.

Fortunately, her heart was not visible. Selena’s face was as charming as an actress. If her skin was removed from her face, her skull would be as big as a tangerine. Anyway, this reaction of his indicated that she was half successful.

“Who are you to order me around? You will let me live? That’s it? Is acting that easy? Even if you are the Northern Duke, I will not listen to a single word you say.”

Something pricked her stomach. The question was whether Kalcion would accept it with a smile…

“Uh, ah… that was all I could perform.”

Fortunately, he was not disappointed. Now that her heart regained its original size, her mouth wasn’t as stiff as it was earlier.

“But, don’t just come to any conclusion. I promise I can do better next time. You can also ask other nobles if you still…”

“Okay, you pass.”

Unlike the monster, who came running towards them, Kalcion walked leisurely towards it.

The beast was not far from where they stood. When Kalcion swung his sword at the spot where the beast was, it gradually turned into a lump of meat.

‘Ah….’

Suddenly, Selena felt dizzy at the sight of the blood dripping on the floor from the monster’s wound.

No matter how many monsters or how much blood she had seen while filming, it was completely different from reality. The monster alone was unbelievably scary, but it seemed like Kalcion was just playing with it.

Her mind could not accept any more levels of this horridness. Selena’s consciousness gradually faded

“If you don’t wake up now, I will leave you.”

Even when her mind was going insane, she knew what to do in order to live. Her instinct for survival was sharp. Selena opened her eyes and sat up abruptly.

Kalcion, who finished dismantling the monsters, is now wiping away the blood from the blade he used. Selena noticed that the number of infernal beasts that had been dismantled earlier increased.

“Are you done with your work?”

“I think this should be enough. I don’t feel any disturbances around us anymore.”

“…Ye-Yes. Thank you for your hard work.”

Kalcion found himself dumbfounded at such an unfamiliar remark that he had never heard in his life before.

“I didn’t expect to hear that I had a hard time working for a change of mood.”

Although it bothered her that the results of such exercise were quite cruel and horrifying, Selena stopped herself from even visualizing the details. It would become more difficult for her if she thought about it harder.

“So now, are we going back?”

Seeing Kalcion raising up his head, Selena also directed her eyes towards the sky. It was so cloudy that she even had difficulty in spotting the moon.

‘Come to think of it, the air is somewhat humid.’

“It looks like it’s going to rain on our way down the mountain, so let’s find a cave. In this way, we can talk more.”

As soon as Kalcion had finished his sentence, he began to walk off. Selena hurried after him.

Kalcion drifted away quickly. He was not someone who would kindly wait for her to follow him. Even if he had found someone ‘useful’, he wouldn’t take any trouble for her.

“Oh, wa-wait! Wait for me!”

However, he was too fast.

“This mountain has no proper roads!’

Kalcion seemed to be walking but his legs were so long that Selena had to run to keep up with his pace.

He was much taller and had longer legs than any normal person.

Even deers would feel very upset if they stood next to giraffes. Now, it was her opportunity to feel the sorrow of being a short person. Of course, she was not grateful.

Selena started to climb the steep hillside. She had always been so proud all her life, but her physical strength was not very cooperative at the right moment. Furthermore, the mountain was being too rough on her.

The mountain was so steep that it seemed as if she was rock climbing. She had to climb up a tall rock using both her arms and legs. Moreover, at some places, she had to jump up a tree. There was no other way.

Kalcion strode at a steady pace as if this was all natural to him.

‘Would I be wrong if I call him a monster?!’

She thought as she followed him. Indeed, the stamina of this monster was endless. She was starting to feel exhausted.

‘I don’t want to die this way.’

No matter how much strength she puts on her legs, she couldn’t be fast enough to catch up to Kalcion. Thanks to the limit of a human’s vigor.

‘He is not doing that on purpose, is he?’

At last, Kalcion crept into a cave that was located between the cliffs.

Getting into the cave was no ordinary job for her. If she slips, she would fall into the depths of the trench. The place was again covered with fog, so she couldn’t even see where the floor was.

Selena gulped and managed to throw herself into the cave.

“Ahhh!”

How many times has she found herself between life and death in this short period of time? Entering the cave, she saw Kalcion polishing the blade of his sword while leaning his back against the cave wall. Some wood had been placed at the center of the cave that was now burning.

“You are pretty good. I thought you wouldn’t catch up.”

“…You did not even wait for me!”

“Why do I need to wait for you?”

‘Hah, what a bunch of beautiful words!’

Anger surged up in her. She was attacked by a monster and was nearly killed by a mountain trench. She almost died twice already. When she heard his cold words, which stung like needles, harsh words came out of her mouth.

“Ha! You foolish Northern Duke…..”

It was the most ‘cursed’ word Selena could have said to him.

As soon as she entered the cave, it began to rain heavily.

‘It’s going to take a while for the sky to clear up.’

Selena shook her head and went to sit at the opposite of Kalcion, leaning against the wall. Kalcion opened his mouth as he lit the sword blade with a strike of a rock, blankly.

“Let’s just keep talking.”

“About what? My role?”

Kalcion did not look at her. He went straight to the point.

“No big deal. You just have to pretend to be my lover in social gatherings or die.”

…. Turns out he actually had a different motive.

…

“

Selena kept her mouth shut.

She did not know where to begin with. Not a big deal? Pretending to be his lover? His girlfriend? But, the threat of murder was the biggest problem.

“….Pardon?”

After all, she was out of ideas.

“I don’t think there was anything wrong with the interpretation device. You have to pretend to be my lover….”

“Um, wait, I think this is broken.”

Selena hurriedly interrupted Kalcion from speaking and hit the bracelet quite hard. If it had the ability to speak, it would have cried out, “You’re beating me up since you cannot hit the Duke!”

“Or I could just kill you.”

“Wa-wait. I think it’s definitely broken…..”

“Your reaction shows that you heard the right thing.”

But she desperately continued to act like she did not understand a single word he’s saying.

“From what I heard, I think you just told me to die.”

“I did not tell you to die. I just said that you will be killed if you do not follow what I say.”

“What if I die?”

“I will be very sorry.”

“So it didn’t matter to him whether or not I was dead.’

“Wow, I.really.appreciate.it.”

She blurted those words out rather roughly even if she has never said anything in that manner. But, that was also interpreted for him.

How dare she behave arrogantly in front of the Duke? Kalcion frowned. Selena kept her mouth shut, pretending she didn’t see it.

“I am already struggling to live here.”

“I did not tell you to die. All I want to do is to find the criminal.”

Selena cocked her head to the side.

“Criminal?”

Kalcion’s eyes became heavier and sharper at her question.

“My soon-to-be fiancée is dead.”

“Oh….”

She should have known that Kalcion would push her to risk her life. It was also the basic option around the Northern Duke.

“Ah… I pray for the peace of her soul. You must be very sad.”

“I was rather angry.”

“Of course. You are mad as the one who was supposed to become your fiancée was killed. That’s why you want to find him.”

Kalcion furrowed his eyebrows, turning his head.

“I think you misunderstood.”

“What? Aren’t you angry because you lost your beloved fiancée?”

“We were not in love. She was just chosen by me.”

“…What?! Oh, so was it a political marriage?”

“There wasn’t much of a mutual exchange for it to be a political marriage.”

“Then, was it like a blind date?”

“It was more like selection than a blind date.”

…. It was more humane for them to marry like that than a political marriage.

“So you just chose someone to be your wife right after seeing her?”

“Qualifications of a spouse can be fully understood by documents and thorough investigation.”

Selena’s mouth fell wide open in shock.

She realized that here, in this world, people got married in a different way. Whether they were married or engaged, there was no emotion in it. And even Kalcion’s attitude to take it for granted was impressive.

“…Wow. You are a real Northern Duke.”

“I don’t think saying that I’m a real ‘Northern Duke’ is a compliment. What did she mean by that?”

He muttered to himself in astonishment, but when Selena heard, she replied back.

“It means you are handsome.”

She answered proudly without hesitating. She didn’t even blink. The point was to be confident when lying.

“You answered so abruptly that I doubt it.”

“That’s not true. I have been thinking about it, and it just popped out of my mouth.”

That kind of a lie did not make the other feel bad even though it seemed obvious that it was a lie. The evidence was Kalcion smirking briefly.

“And.”

“What? There’s more?”

“Would all men be handsome if they were Northern Dukes?”

…He must be very curious.’]

She was not the top actress for nothing.

“Oh, not just handsome. They would all have the strength of beating monsters with a single strike and have that kind of charisma in their eyes. They would also have that mysterious gray hair, those deep-seated blue eyes and white skin like jade. Don’t you think?”

“Are you the only one, or do all the people in your world live with that kind of gibberish?”

Kalcion smiled again. But it was brighter than before.

Selena smiled inwardly, but all she could see was the truth.

“I just stated the fact.”

“I have never seen anyone be so brazen in front of me.”

“…Really? How would you feel if you were the Duke ?”

“Well…first of all, I could never act like…”

Selena tried to say more, but she couldn’t. She bowed her head gently and carefully.

“Hmm? go on.”

“…..No, nothing.”

“It was fun talking to you, wasn’t it?”

“….Yes.”

Selena replied, gazing at the fire. Kalcion shrugged, returning to his business.

“Also, the North was probably out of interest because it was far from the capital.”

“Was?”

“A gold mine was found in this region a few days ago.”

Selena couldn’t stop her eyes from twinkling.

“Yes, that was usually the reaction of the marriage candidates. Think about how much desire their families have to acquire it.”

“I’m sure they have…..”

A young, handsome Northern Duke and a bunch of gold. They had to try their best at least once.

“So I picked one of the most influential and easiest barons to deal with.”

“Pardon?”

Kalcion’s eyes shone menacingly.

“Dead.”

“Huh?”

“On the night before the wedding. How do you think was I able to take this?”

Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World.Site Only

Although he was overwhelmed by the mention of a man who

was dead, his eyes were getting dangerously excited.

Kalcion meant he would kill anyone if they got caught. If anyone can kill a person with his eyes, it would be this person.

She understood at once why no one dared to mess around with him. Kalcion grinned, showing his pearl white teeth. Selena felt chills running down her spine.

“I took this as a challenge as the Duke of Renbird to threaten to kill anyone who could not pass.”

“Go-got it….”

“Since I have threatened you too, I believe you are prepared to get onto your act?”

Selena kept her mouth shut. It seemed like she was freezing to death.
