Blue eyes, so clear and pure, as if one could see straight into the soul; a perfectly beautiful face, small lips that looked so endearing, even the way she slightly wrinkled her cute little nose was utterly captivating. Every glance she cast was enchanting—every tiny movement of hers was so alluring. Such beauty, such grace—this was more than mere physical attractiveness; it was a true stirring of the soul, making you want to look again, even if it were for the last time.

Perhaps this was a beauty that should not exist in this world—such a beautiful woman is destined for a short life! For some reason, in that moment of distraction, David Clark suddenly understood this truth.

Heh, so you can see me after all. Rose Harris let out a gentle laugh. In fact, she already knew in her heart why she had been angry just now—it was because of David Clark's indifferent attitude toward her. Why was that? Could it be that she felt something for him...

Oh, my God! Still lost in thought, David Clark fell even deeper after seeing Rose Harris's smile.

Rose Harris herself, embarrassed by her own thoughts, quickly put her veil back on.

"Wow, so beautiful! Why do you always wear this? How about this—let me be your agent, and I'll make you a superstar..."

After that, of course, it was William Scott who took the nearly delirious David Clark home, even though he kept muttering about international stardom.

By the time David Clark came back to his senses, it was already close to evening, and he found William Scott sitting beside him.

William Scott was holding a pot of wine, and looking at David Clark, he said, "Oh, you're back? You're actually doing pretty well. I remember the first time I saw her, it took me until the next day to recover."

"Big Brother Scott, what kind of beauty is that? How come I never saw it before?" David Clark was referring to eight hundred years ago.

"Beauty?" William Scott gave a bitter smile. "Maybe it's her misfortune, actually."

David Clark saw the sadness in William Scott's eyes and said, "It is misfortune. Born into the imperial family—maybe being ordinary would bring more happiness."

David Clark looked up at the sky again. Yes, in this world, how many people can truly find happiness?

"Big Brother Scott, go to the Second Prince right away and tell him I've found a way to win. As for the rest, just say I saw the princess's beauty." I was just worrying about how to make that guy believe me—now I can let him think I was seduced by beauty. Isn't that perfect?

David Clark smiled, a slightly bitter smile, because for the first time, someone had left a mark on his heart that he couldn't erase.

In another country far to the north, inside the royal palace, two people were gazing at the starry sky.

One of them was an extremely handsome young man—so handsome that if David Clark were here, he would surely notice how much this person resembled his old friend Eric Bennett, almost as beautiful as a woman.

The handsome young man frowned slightly and said playfully, "Gregory big brother, can you go for me? Otherwise, you know, the balance we've worked so hard to build will be destroyed in an instant. Please go."

The one called Gregory was also a young man of about twenty, his whole body wrapped in a cloak, his exposed face a combination of coldness and coolness, his eyes full of icy indifference. "Why don't you go yourself?" His words were just as cold.

"Sigh, what can I say? I'm just so unlucky. You know, there are so many state affairs, and besides, there's been a big flood recently, and..."

"Why?" He frowned slightly—too many words.

"Fine, at most I'll help you find that old man, the closest one." The handsome young man seemed a bit annoyed.

Gregory glanced at the handsome youth, a hint of a smile in his eyes, then turned and walked away. "Alright."

The handsome young man also smiled slightly, and softly said to Gregory's departing figure, "Wind, I'm counting on you."

The entire continent was divided into two parts: the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent. The Eastern Continent was the land of humans, and there were seven countries in total, split into two regions. The country situated between these two regions was called Kager.

Now, this war that concerned not only the human continent but even the Western Continent—the Kager War—was, with the addition of a mysterious young man, heading in an unknown direction.

Chapter 7: High-Tech Warfare

Thirty li outside Gukou City, one of the three great legions of the Kager Empire—the Silver Sword Knights—was assembled.

In the commander's main tent, the final pre-battle discussion was underway.

There were only four people in the entire tent, and Emily Reed was one of them. "No, I don't agree to just go in like this. This is clearly a trap."

When the Silver Sword Knights arrived at Gukou City, the entire city was already empty. The ten thousand-strong original Light Knights had vanished without a trace, and even the newly arrived scouts couldn't find any sign of them. In other words, the enemy had disappeared.
