You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right? - Chapter 784 - 197, Deicide_2

[COMPLETE] Can a royal Romeo and Juliet find their happy ending?

Ayleth, Princess of Zenithra, is secretly trained in hand-to-hand combat, and collects swear words she doesn't know how to use. During the Festival of Peace, in which every royal son on the continent will be at the castle for a month, she is instructed by her parents to find a husband. Yet, Ayleth has never even been kissed—until the very first ball, when she meets the man in the Lion mask.

Etan is a seasoned warrior, and the Prince of Summitras. He attends the Festival hoping to find a powerful wife who will help him conquer the dark sorcery of their bloodsworn enemies, the Kingdom of Zenithra. But at the very first ball, he discovers the masked woman who captures his heart is the Heir to the evil empire.

Ayleth and Etan face an impossible battle. Will their love survive? Or will their parents' dark dealings keep them apart forever?

“You…” She stepped back. Then back again, her mouth dropped open. “You… You cannot be…”

“I am,” Etan said, and his hair raked back as he pushed his mask off his handsome face. So handsome her heart raced.

His hair was ebony black, his skin a warm brown that threatened to fade in in the winter months. He stared at her with glittering green eyes, over high cheekbones and a noble nose, his jaw tight and shadowed this late in the day. His chin was high over the pillar of his neck that she’d just touched with its hard lines and steel strength, so different to her own. And his chest... She gasped and covered her eyes. She’d humiliated herself revealing her stupid, childish curiosity.

“No, Ayleth. This changes nothing.”

“How can you say that? It changes everything!” She was horrified to realize she was crying.

“Ayleth, please.” His voice cracked on the plea and she stared at him, shoving her mask up and off, despite how it would pull her hair out of the beautiful twist the maid had managed for her.

His eyes locked on hers and she couldn’t think. She couldn’t breathe.

She had met her One. And he was the son of her bloodsworn enemy.

She stared at him as he stepped forward again, offering both hands, palm up. “Touch me,” he whispered. “Hold my hands. This is real, Ayleth. I don’t know how it happened, but this is real. Please don’t deny it.”

She couldn’t resist. She raised a trembling hand to his cheek, letting her palm catch on the scruff of his jaw. He blew out a breath and put his hand over hers, and that jolt that happened whenever they touched shivered through her again.

“Please, Ayleth.”

“I cannot deny it,” she whispered.

He, since childhood, had followed the Foreigner to practice the Defying Heaven Art, entering the most secretive special forces and becoming a fearsome assassin that made others tremble at the mere mention of his name. After a single failure, he took early retirement, but he ended up as the personal bodyguard for a rich heiress, a school beauty. Accidentally provoking some mysterious Cultivators, he gradually unveiled a hidden world of Cultivation beyond the mortal realm...

Due to the whims of a higher-dimensional being called “The One”, the World of Terra ushered in a Monthly Apocalypse World Update Era.Every month, the World will draw a random monthly apocalypse world update theme, and the world will transform depending on what update theme has been drawn.Starting with a Zombie Apocalypse World theme, The World of Terra became infested with zombies!As a transmigrator, Zayne Voss, who thought he was living in a normal modern world, was caught up in this madness.Fortunately, he awakened the innate ???-rank talent, the Doomsday Life Simulator System![The Doomsday Life Simulator System allows the host to simulate your future and life in a given doomsday scenario.][For example, the simulator will randomly draw a doomsday scenario, and one of them might be a zombie apocalypse scenario. In that case, the host can experience life in a zombie apocalypse world.][Of course, it's not limited to that, as there are also different kinds of doomsday scenarios like the Helios Extinction Event, where the sun explodes and humanity faces such a world-ending scenario.][Not all doomsday scenarios are winnable and survivable, as some can be a dead end. However, your goal is not to win but to survive as long as possible and attain as many achievements as possible.][The longer you survive and the more you accomplish within that doomsday scenario, the higher your score will be. The higher the score, the greater the rewards you'll receive.][The rewards you can receive are mostly related to the power, skill, experiences, and talent that you possessed before the doomsday life simulation ended. They will be brought back to the real world so the host can gain power from doing life simulations.]-Ding![The host can choose one doomsday scenario from four of the following:][A. Helios Extinction Event][B. AI Singularity Rebellion][C. Global Ocean Survival][D. Acid Rain Catastrophe]Drawing the doomsday scenario called “Global Ocean Survival,” where everyone started with a wooden raft on a vast ocean, Zayne grinded in the doomsday simulation to become stronger in the real world!While everyone was still running away from zombies, Zayne had already eaten a Fairy Fruit from the Global Ocean Survival World and killed all the zombies around him!

For He Gu, to be secretly in love is like a strong alcoholic drink. Obviously, once it flows into your system, dizziness, the loss of self-control and suffering will follow closely by, making it possible for anyone to be fatally attracted like moths to flames, and willingly endure the hardships.

While you made sure to not overdo it, I’ve become completely intoxicated…however, for every intoxicated feeling, you will inevitably wake up from it one day.

When Song Ju Han continued to act childish and recklessly destroyed He Gu’s tenderness for him, he had never imagined that the man has already been written into his destiny. Even more, he had never imagined that—the person brought to him by destiny—would one day want to escape…
