Chapter 86: Chapter 86: The Duke’s Heir VS The Underdog Female Supporting Character (Part 26) End
The eleventh-generation Duchess of the White Rose, Veronica Roman, undoubtedly led a life of splendor and glory.
Her talent defied the heavens. At the age of sixteen, she successfully advanced to the status of a Sword Saint, a record that, even tens of thousands of years after her death and the Carter Empire’s fading into the dust of history, has never been surpassed by anyone.
She was invincible in battle. Leading the Carter Empire’s White Rose Legion, she was unstoppable; during her lifeti, she expanded the Empire’s territory by more than double. His Majesty the Emperor bestowed upon her the title of Duchess of Glory, and her scepter bore the engraving of the Empire’s two most prestigious ranks.
She had an eye for talent. Her Excellency Eve Heather, hailed by future generations as a genius Sword Saint, was scouted by her during her ti of misfortune and brought to the Roman Family, thus beginning Excellency Heather’s illustrious journey.
Her beauty captivated the city. Historical records state that Duchess Veronica was the incarnation of God on earth, a ssenger of light; anyone who saw her was subjugated by her appearance and aura. During her rule, her suitors lined up from the Duke’s mansion all the way to the gates of the Royal Capital.
However, what people most delighted in discussing was the unyielding love between the Duchess and her husband, Earl Norman.
...
Earl Norman’s origins were a mystery, and when he first appeared before the public eye, it was as the Duke’s lover and a strong Sword Saint.
Since the two of them got together, they had never been apart, whether for leisure, diplomacy, or war. Wherever the Duchess of White Rose was, Earl Norman’s shadow was sure to be there.
It was said that they had even signed a Symbiotic Contract, to live and die together. Their love story was written about in nurous biographies and unofficial histories, spreading far and wide throughout later generations.
Gu Shengyin had lived a very happy life. When she was leaving, she already had a feeling.
The no longer young woman took her husband’s hand, a sweet smile on her face, “I’ll go first, next lifeti, you must rember to co find .”
The man in black clothing and black hair, whose facial features were still handso, looked at his wife, who had closed her eyes and lay there peacefully, and gently bent down to kiss her lips.
Fool, have you forgotten about our contract? You don’t need to go first at all, I’m right behind you.
Gu Shengyin opened her eyes in the Pure White Space, a smile on her face.
Without dropping the smile at the corner of her mouth, she addressed the system in front of her, “I have no issues and do not need rest; we can start the next task now.”
She was absolutely certain that her lover would be waiting for her in another world, so she did not wish to linger in a place without him.
This was also the first ti the system encountered a host who was so eager to complete the task.
However, as long as the host’s decision was beneficial for the completion of tasks, the system had no authority to interfere.
“The next world is the Cultivation World; host, please check the received world information.”
Gu Shengyin’s vision went dark, and after the familiar feeling of dizziness vanished, she realized she was kneeling in a great hall.
She looked down at her hands, small and delicate, clearly the hands of a young girl.
In the hall, over a hundred children, dressed similarly to Gu Shengyin, were kneeling, all appearing to be around the ages of seven or eight.
“Today, you have the honor of entering this hall, and so you are disciples of the Astrolabe Sword Sect. However, being able to enter this hall only proves that your Root Bone is suitable for cultivation. Yet, for a Sword Cultivator, what’s most important is the Sword Heart within you. Now, begin the Sword Heart test.”
“The level of your Sword Heart will determine how far you can ultimately go on the path of Sword Cultivation.”
