Shadow Monarch's Requiem - Chapter 21: The Weight of a Crown

DEATH COULDN’T KILL HIM—IT JUST GAVE HIM A NEW LIFE TO DESTROY.Reo Carter was a name that made even the hardest killers shudder. A perfect hitman—no hesitation, no mercy. Until his own crew turned on him, leaving him bleeding out in a pile of bodies that used to be his enemies.But fate wasn’t done with him.He wakes up in a world of nobility, magic, and honor duels—trapped in the body of Leonhardt Caulem, the weakest, most useless son of Duke Caulem. A spoiled brat with no skill, no spine, and a reputation so pathetic that even servants look down on him.They think he’s weak? They have no idea who they just brought back.- Swords and magic? He spent his last life dodging bullets—this is child’s play.- Dueling etiquette? A knife in the ribs is the only honor that matters.- A noble’s life of luxury? He’s had enough backstabbing for one lifetime, thanks.He was once a ghost in the underworld—a man who didn’t exist. Now, in a world where strength is everything, he’s about to remind them what true fear looks like.The hitman is back. And this time, he’s aiming for something more.#NobleByDayKillerByNature #TheyBroughtBackTheWrongMan #FromHitmanToDuke #SayYourLastWords

Religious and cultural schisms wreak havoc on its internal politics, while revolutions are brewing in neighboring kingdoms. The aristocratic houses play endless power games amongst themselves, and the Emperor desperately abuses what little influence he has left to keep his rivals down.Amidst all of this, Arnold von Hohenfels, first son of the Margrave of Hohenfels, finds himself in the unfortunate position of having to attend the Imperial Academy, a notorious battleground of wits and brawn for ambitious young nobles.Armed with a magical gift that is as much a blessing as it is a curse, he must learn to navigate the treacherous waters of aristocratic entanglements. In the name of his family’s ambition, he must represent House Hohenfels' interests in this microcosm of Imperial politics, deal with his formidable enemies, form alliances of his own, and somehow keep his brash cousin Friedrich out of trouble.Frankly, he would much rather be anywhere else.

The full-level boss He Xinyan was reborn and became the vicious villain who occupies the magpie’s nest in the group’s favorite real daughter.

Not only was he squeezed and sucked blood by the He family, but he was also asked to be a new person by the villain’s transformation system.

The He family sneered: If you leave the He family, you will have nothing.

The men behind the real daughter also took action to suppress He Xinyan: offend our baby, you should be damned!

Even aristocratic high schools expelled her: we don’t take students with bad morals.

System: You have to be gentle and kind in order to be loved and loved.

Just when everyone was waiting to see the jokes about the fake daughters falling into mud.

He Xinyan held the counterattack script in hand, slapped her face all the way, and became an unattainable existence for everyone.

The noble school expelled her, turned around and she was admitted to the best university in the country and became the top student in the college entrance examination;

The He family relies on her to make a fortune and take back everything, you are not worthy;

She cleans up the men behind the real daughter one by one, makes the popular stars go to the ground, and makes the domineering president become a bankrupt president.

When He Xinyan’s identity was revealed and she turned into a daughter of a certain power, when her parents and brother could not wait to spoil her, the villain transformation system was completely silent.

——

The noble young master of the Shi family, Shi Lin, has been practicing Buddhism all year round, and he is not stained by the world.

I had never seen anyone with such ill will as the adopted daughter of the He family.

He gave her a bottle of medicine for a while, and didn’t expect her to survive.

See you soon after the results, eh? This fake daughter actually lived a good life. Not only was she alive and well, she was also unparalleled, fighting against the suppression of several giants by herself.

Shi Lin hooked her lips: Yes, it’s a bit interesting.
