Lord Raven's Court

Lord Raven's Court

In the year 556 of the Runtallian Calendar, a war broke out in the eastern frontier of the Kingdom of Runtallia between the eastern overlord, Duke Gaverone Walruse of Regalia, and the barbarian chief-thane known as Dariun Drunzelle of the Shiradonii tribe, one of the Four Great Tribes of Norsmund, a nation that borders the Kingdom, deemed to be the land of brutes and savages. As the Duke of Regalia marches with his army to defend the disputed land of Kurlon, the barbarians have taken such an opportune moment to launch another incursion near the eastern border of Regalia near the town of Flendle, with the intention of dividing his army. However, despite accepting the town and the surrounding local lords' territories as lost cause in the war in favor of Kurlon– a newly discovered territory bountiful with veins of iron and other minerals– the Duke tasks his third son, Lord Velmund Walruse, along with his retinue, the Order of the Raven Knights, to fend off the attack. Now faced with the plight of defending the border town against a 5,000-strong Norsmundi army with his few yet skilled knights, along with an ill-equipped and undermanned militia, Lord Velmund has no choice but to fulfill his duty as a noble, relying upon his wits and his few but capable retainers to survive his first battle at the tender age of sixteen summers and winters. Contrary to his timid, youthful, and innocent appearance, however, lies his sly and scheming nature, evident by his fondness of dark magical arts specializing in illusion spells. Nevertheless, he himself has no idea of what he is capable of, and what he is destined to become. Meanwhile, further east at the frontier with Norsmund, a plot hatches to ensnare the Duke within the clutches of his treacherous vassals. Not only his life is threatened by these schemes, but his sons Theo and Varus as well. With this scheme put into motion, the Duke and Velmund's siblings, Varus and Theo, would taste fate's twisted humor, with the former meeting his demise in a blaze of glory amidst the field of battle, and the latter two vanishing in incidents shrouded by mysteries. With the death of the patriarch of Regalia and his heirs' disappearance, the young lord who was initially third in line for the succession of the ducal seat became its temporary occupant. And thus, the tale of him and his court begins… CHAPTER RELEASE: January 1st at 12:00 UTC

The Reincarnated Villain Can Break the Fourth Wall!

The Reincarnated Villain Can Break the Fourth Wall!

In his first life as 'Caine Wilson', was the villain—ruthless, cunning, and very powerful. He played his part perfectly, crushing the so-called "protagonist" and parading his enemies, their families, and anyone who crossed him naked through the streets. He watched with glee as the "hero" lay broken, stripped of his dignity, before finally ending his pitiful existence. But just as Caine, thought he had finally won and secured his place at the top, 'Higher ups' intervened. A booming, ethereal voice—like the universe’s pissed-off judge—shook the skies: "You have violated the sacred code of villainy! The villain shall not win. The balance has been broken. Caine Wilson, the world hereby rejects you!" Before he could even enjoy his victory, his world blinked out, like a story whose writer just erased the last chapter in frustration. Everything went dark. And when he awoke, he wasn’t Caine Wilson anymore. He was 'Su Xiaobai', a nobody on 'White Cloud Star', a world of cultivation, martial arts, and endless struggle. But this time, things were different. He could feel it—he could see through the cracks of reality itself. He could break the fourth wall! He wasn’t just some reincarnated soul; he was a villain who had 'seen the system', who understood the game. And he was about to flip it upside down. --------------- A/N: Buckle up, you miserable bunch! It’s a parody, so shut your brains off, toss 'em in the trash, and dive headfirst into this deep, glorious shithole! Don’t come whining to me when you laugh so hard you choke on your own damn tears! --------------- Discord: https://discord.gg/dsc4fftBeF **Cover Page is not owned by Author**

Snow n' Starlight

Snow n' Starlight

First born princess of Goryeo is promised to Silla in marriage. What has begun as a promise between families becomes a pact sealed in blood when her betrothed is mysteriously killed. Now what binds Seol, the lady Ha In of Goryeo to Silla is a blood debt – to turn away from it would be to topple the country into irreparable chaos. Yet, her heart lies with another. Raised from obscurity of illegitimacy, fate of concubine - born last son of northern Kang clan rests on the emperor’s grace. However, being tasked with the guardianship of the imperial princess is the last of his worries. In the whirlwind of emotions that she brings along, it is not just his title that is at stake, but his heart and a secret that he had brought from a grave of a different time. Theirs is a fate from an age gone by, but a love impossible to attain. Theirs is a story written upon dying stars. *** From inside: The snow caressed him in a way she yearned to; fluttering against his lashes, tangled up in his hair. She has always felt home in north, in the valleys that filled themselves with her namesake and with this man beside he, arrows slung over his shoulder and laughter in his eyes. Silla and her betrothed would never take that place. Seol opens her mouth; it is now or never. “Don’t say it,” he cuts her off, a hand stretched out for a lonely snowflake to perch upon. It turns translucent against his roughed palm. “My hand isn’t made for snowflakes,” he sounds joyous, as he always does – when she is weeping within. His eyes remain resolutely elsewhere. “I’ve been summoned to the garrison,” he continues in that same flat tone. “My last duty here will be to deliver your highness to your betrothed.” She is unaware of the tear that has escaped, until an ice cold thumb brushes it off. “Don’t cry,” he says then and she sees the laughing spark in his eyes for what it truly is; longing. “It breaks my heart.” ***

You might find it on some illegal or pirated websites, but I don't recommend that. It's against the law and not fair to the authors.

The scene in the court was usually solemn and spectacular. In the royal court, candles were lit, smoke lingered, and dragon flags fluttered. The Emperor's throne was placed high on the high platform of the court, and the officials were seated according to their ranks. The entire imperial court was filled with a solemn atmosphere, and from time to time, faint sounds of bells, drums, and ceremonial music could be heard. The Emperor was dressed in a gorgeous dragon robe and sat in a dignified manner. His expression was serious and his eyes were firm, showing his dignity and majesty. The environment of the royal court was also magnificent. The hall was surrounded by towering ancient trees, green trees, red walls, and yellow tiles. In front of the throne were a board and a jade slip, symbolizing the emperor's authority and ruling power. The officials had to strictly abide by the etiquette during the court meeting. They had to wear court clothes, salute, advance and retreat, and speak according to the rules to show their respect for the emperor. The contents of the court meeting were divided into three parts: report, advice, and discussion. The officials would report on the situation in various places, and the emperor would listen to the opinions of the ministers and discuss national affairs. Sometimes, there would be palace maids and courtesans singing songs to increase the atmosphere of the court. In short, the scene in the court was solemn, spectacular, and full of a sense of ritual.

There were many sentences describing the scene of the court meeting, such as " The official street drum started at two o'clock in the morning, which was equivalent to about five o'clock in the morning today." " The sun has just risen, and the bells in the palace are ringing. The palace maids and eunuchs have already started tidying up the courtyard early in the morning to prepare for the emperor's court session." " The emperor is wearing a dragon robe and a royal robe on his head. He is wearing a yellow robe and stepping onto the throne. The people inside and outside the palace saluted in unison to pay their respects to the emperor." " The Emperor is sitting on his throne, his gaze solemnly sweeping across the civil and military officials in the hall, waiting for them to remonstrate." "We bathed in the grace of the phoenix pond, and the morning and evening dyed the emperor." Wait a minute.

The ministers wore luxurious official robes and golden boots as they filed into the court. They were either young and handsome, or old and steady, but they were all filled with power and dignity. They had solemn expressions on their faces, and they often talked with words, showing their erudition and wisdom. In ancient China, the scene of ministers attending court was often described in television dramas and novels as the scene of a company boss summoning employees for a meeting. The employees would discuss important matters on the spot, and then the boss would make a decision on the spot. However, these descriptions might not be accurate. In ancient times, the way officials went to court might vary according to the dynasty and period. In ancient times, ministers would go to the imperial court to meet the king and discuss state affairs. When they met the emperor, they would usually stand to show respect. If they needed to show respect, they would bow with their hands crossed. Starting from the Yuan Dynasty, ministers would kneel down to report to the emperor before the emperor. This was related to the concept of the relationship between monarch and minister as the relationship between master and servant. Therefore, the scene of ancient ministers attending court might not be like what was described in television dramas and novels.

The word "turn" in "Ten Rings of Frost Shadows Turning Court Parasol Tree" was used ingeniously and had the effect of turning stillness into movement. The word means to cause to turn, to cause to move, and in this poem, it depicted the shadows of frost on the sycamore trees in the courtyard, the shadows of the trees moving in the rotation of the moonlight. This image hinted at the passage of time, and the poet had spent a long time alone. Therefore, the use of the word "turn" enhanced the expression of the poem, making the reader feel the loneliness and melancholy of the poet more.

Wall and wall were two common terms in architecture. They were different in function and structure. A wall was a city wall or fence built with earth, stone, bricks, and other materials. Its function was to separate space, protect, and bear weight. The walls generally did not have a closed top, so they could climb over them. The wall was a barrier made of earth, stone, bricks, and other materials inside the house. It was tightly connected to the roof or ceiling to separate the inside and outside space.
