Ex-Wife Too Hard To Woo

She always felt that she had forgotten something, and when she saw this silver needle, she remembered that on that day, she suddenly fainted because Scarlet had stabbed her with a silver needle.

Rachel would not let Scarlet have her way again, and she tried to shake Scarlet off with almost all her strength.

But now she was exhausted and injured, she could not even match the strength of a child. Scarlet was so ruthless that she could not dodge.

Scarlet’s delicate and elegant face twisted to a grimace in an instant, and with all her strength, the silver needle in her hand pierced the back of Rachel’s hand with a vengeance.

Rachel’s pupils suddenly tightened, and then, everything before Rachel?? s eyes became blurry.

This kind of feeling of being at the mercy of others was really bad.

‘Scarlet, you better not fall into my hands. Otherwise, I will definitely make you suffer for this!’ The moment before she lost consciousness, Rachel thought.

Scarlet’s behavior was really disgusting. However, fortunately, she was going to take the pearl to save Sethaden. As long as her Sethaden could survive…

“Rachel, farewell!”

The voice of Scarlet was as vicious as a ghost demanding her life, “Die early so that you can be reincarnated sooner!”

As she said that, a cold and shiny knife appeared in Scarlet’s hand like a magic trick.

After carefully placing the pearl inside her purse, she raised her hand and stabbed the knife in her hand towards Rachel’s heart without mercy.

“Rachel, when you die, no one will be able to disturb me and Young General anymore.”

“You betrayed Young General. You are the culprit who caused Young General’s misery. You are an unforgivable sinner!”

“And I risked my life to obtain the Sailor Pearl for Young General. I am the Young General’s saviour.”

“Young General has always been gracious in return. He will treat me very, very well. I will be Young General’s beloved.”

“As for you, Rachel, just wait to be buried in the belly of the wolf!”

“Rachel, we will never see each other again! Ha ha!”

…

One year later.

Sitting on an old willow tree in the Pingliang Palace, Rachel randomly broke a willow branch and held it in her hand, shaking it leisurely.

Yes, Rachel was not dead.

Scarlet had indeed tried to kill her. But Rachel was lucky to be saved by a skilled doctor, Benedict, who lived at the foot of Mount Delusion. The frostbite on her hands and feet was so severe that the flesh on her feet was about to rot off. If it wasn’t for Benedict who removed the rotten flesh from her feet and healed her with a muscle-building ointment, she would have become a cripple.

Mount Delusion was indeed a place hard to conquer.

In the past, she had been unrestrained out there and able to journey around the country. After Rachel went to Mount Delusion, her health was greatly ruined.

Now she could not even take a few more steps as she would feel out of breath soon.

Rachel even felt that she was a bit weak.

She had taken a hard time recuperating for almost a year so that she wouldn’t collapse so easily once she walked.

Many things had happened in this year.

This year had been so stormy that even the place where she was now could no longer be called the palace of Pingliang.

The ambitious Alexander and Alfie wanted to annex the Great Wei State, whose power was far superior to that of Pingliang, and to subdue the smaller states around them to achieve hegemony.

But the reality was much cruel.

Though Alexander and Alfie were ambitious, they were not capable enough to swallow even the Great Wei, let alone unify the others.

They drew a poisonous curse to control Rachel, who later helped them to get the marching map in the hands of Sethaden. With the map and the confidence that Sethaden, whom they feared so much, would definitely die in Rachel’s hands, they planned to take the marching map and make their ambitions known.

At the beginning, Alexander’s attack on the Great Wei went well.

They won all the way and took five cities of the Great Wei in a row.

However, their luck did not last long.

The Emperor of the Great Wei, Casey, was afraid of the Fitzgerald army. He did not want Kieran to lead his own troops into battle to avoid Kieran accumulating prestige.

But either in the imperial court or among ordinary folks, there were too many calls for the Fitzgerald army to meet the enemy, and if Casey continued to hold their troops back, he would certainly provoke public anger.

By then, all the officials would strike down the court and the people would revolt, and his throne would have to become all the more unstable.

In order to pacify the people for the time being, Casey could only send Kieran to lead his troops to the expedition.

Alexander did have the Fitzgerald army?? s marching map in his hand, but Kieran was no fool. Following confirmation of the map missing, Kieran restructured the city defense and his troops at the fastest speed, leaving no chance for Alexander to take the advantage.

Alexander’s military prowess could not be compared to Kieran’s, and so did the valor of his generals to Kieran’s.

Alexander had committed too many evil deeds during his attack on the Great Wei, and this time, Kieran would not only recover the cities, but also teach him a lesson once and for all.

This battle lasted for a year.

The young general of the Fitzgerald family, Alistair, was as brave and warlike as his father and brother. The high-spirited young general in armor, with a long spear, had already knocked many generals of Pingliang off from their horses.

The army of Pingliang was losing every day, and when Sethaden woke up soon after the war, the Fitzgerald army was even more powerful, and most of the cities in Pingliang were taken by the Fitzgerald army.

Sethaden was a composed wise head on young shoulders, as cold as an iceberg.

Cold as he had been, people around him could feel that there was still light in his heart.

But this time when he woke up, Sethaden really turned into a piece of ice outwardly and inwardly.

All the light in his heart seemed to be gone, he was still vigorous, but he was only a ruthless and heartless killer.

When Alexander lost a dozen cities in quick succession, he was resentful. He increased the tax burden, forcibly conscripted people into the army, and when the army was short of food, he even resorted to the most disgraceful means of robbing food from the people.

The people of Pingliang were in desperate need of food, and as Alexander refused to concede defeat, he repeatedly used underhanded tactics to challenge the Fitzgerald army, and eventually, to his own demise, he failed to defend his own capital.

The Fitzgerald army took Pingliang completely.

Alexander knew that if he fell in the hands of the Great Wei, he would be worse off than dead.

In order to preserve some of his imperial dignity, Alexander hanged himself in the palace, while his favourite son, Alfie, was unaccounted for.

Kieran returned to the imperial court, and Pingliang became a vassal state of the Great Wei, with Sethaden staying in Pingliang with his troops.

The people suffered from the rise and the fall.

Now Pingliangneeded to be rebuilt. As the defender of Pingliang, Sethaden wanted to return peace and happiness to the people of Pingliang.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

The war had stopped. And it was time to return Scarlet’s favor, the girl who had risked her life to save him.
