"You absolve them?" she gasped incredulously. "There is nothing to absolve," he answered, smiling benevolently. He turned to the smiling nobles. "I leave the matter in your hands now." The…

TALKING-TALBOT-Chapter-12

by webnovelverse — "It can't be done without your consent," Talbot said firmly enough, though in his heart he was not sure. The prelate, a tall, portly man of imposing presence, was slowly approaching them as they stood a group apart in the vast salon. He bowed and smiled graciously as he moved along, and Talbot was quick to see that here was a force greater than any he had yet encountered. "Save me, Sir Chester!" moaned the soft voice of the princess. "Refuse to marry him," he said in a whisper. "Do nothing without…

by webnovelverse — It did not take an instant for Talbot to realize what had happened : They had come upon the Duke of Jankovacz in the midst of his friends. Afterward he learned that it was the duke's own castle. It was another kind of trouble, but at least it was not one that meant any immediate danger for the princess, and was far preferable to the peril he had rescued her from.

After what seemed a long time, the countess and Prince Szchymsl returned in gloomy silence. "Did you discover anything?" asked one of the conspirators. "Nothing new," snapped the…

by webnovelverse — “Want me to teach you a few moves? Next time someone bullies you, you’ll be able to protect yourself.” Her eyes were as clear as the sea, the corners crinkling with a smile. Rain pelted my face, chilling me to the bone. “That hitman was so cool. He never betrayed his dignity, even at the end. That’s a real man.” There were faint bite marks on her soda straw as she looked at me with admiration. Blood kept pouring from my chest. Jiang Shan was a terrifying monster—his final stab…

by webnovelverse — The Wenlian Financial Group’s central tower was heavily guarded. If it hadn’t been for Wen yuan’s intelligence and inside help, there’s no way I could have slipped in so easily. The fiftieth floor was the chairman’s office. At the door stood professional bodyguards hired from overseas. It took me two minutes to silently take them out.
