Though not Parsy’s top cadet, Edward was one of the most promising heirs of the imperial lineage. adjust That was enough.

Ji Changhyuk had fought well against Edward. portal But the difference in skill was clear.

Shiiing

“The princess is still alive and well, isn’t she?”

Moreover, their clash had taken place on the central island where the flag was located.

Edward’s laughter stopped abruptly.
