Tainted Blood: The Countess's Descent

Tainted Blood: The Countess's Descent

Serena_Vayne
"I need you," the untouchable Imperial Countess whispered, her aristocratic pride shattering in the humid darkness of the forest. The mercenary merely smirked, his eyes dark with raw, unapologetic hunger. "And what exactly is Her Grace willing to pay?" Field Marshal Thomas Leontar von Greifenwald, the undefeated Lion of the North, has fallen and been taken prisoner by the savage Sarmund barbarians. His loyal wife, the cold and untouchable Imperial Countess Helene von Auen, refuses to abandon him. She leaves the golden cage of the capital behind to save her husband's life at any price. Riding at her side is her devoted bodyguard, the Master Knight Daniel Keller—for whom his iron oath weighs heavier than his own blood. Yet time flows relentlessly through the hourglass. The only path to the rescuing fortress leads straight through the notorious Blackthorn Forest—a green hell teeming with lethal monsters and suffocating magic. Helene has no other choice. She hires Kaspar and Rurik, two rough, ruthless mercenaries, to guide her safely through the thicket. These men live for gold... but in the sultry, primal darkness of the forest, the mere presence of the flawless Countess soon awakens entirely different, far darker desires. Trapped between constant mortal danger and an ancient, awakening bloodline curse that tears at her mind, Helene must make unspeakable decisions. How much of her aristocratic dignity is she willing to sacrifice to purchase the survival of her beloved husband? And what happens when her cool reason gradually yields to raw, animalistic urge?

While the Imperial mages were still chanting fireballs, they had already boarded their magic-powered mechs! Years later, the imperial princess asked curiously: "Wu Liang, who exactly are you?" Wu Liang looked at his clansmen scattered across the world and smiled calmly: "Me? I'm just a messenger of the spark of civilization."
