Chapter 9 No Other Choice

  "Julia?" When Rain saw the beautiful female soldier in front of him, his expression changed and he suddenly exclaimed.

  "You, how did you know my name? You, who are you?" The beautiful female soldier asked in surprise.

  "Julia sister, it's really you, I'm Rain Green." Rain said excitedly.

  "Raine. Green? Hmph, so it's you! My Kain family owes our lives to your Green family, traveling far and wide to this border town, even my aged father had to take up arms himself... now he..." Yuria's eyes welled up with tears, her slender body trembling as she spoke, her gaze filled with anger, and a hint of...

  "Julia, sister, I'm sorry!" Rain lowered his head and apologized.

  In the old days, the Cain and Green families were both prominent families in the Carrot Empire. He and Julia could be said to have been childhood sweethearts, innocent and pure, with their families being neighbors and having arranged a marriage for them since they were young. Unfortunately, this didn't last long, as due to the struggles within the imperial court, the entire Cain family was sent to a small town on the border ten years ago, causing him to lose contact with her.

  Ran recognized the person in front of him as his fiancée at a glance, because of the shallow scar on her forehead, a familiar feeling, which was exactly his masterpiece.

  "Julia, what's wrong with your father?" Rayn asked worriedly, stopping his thoughts, which were just some shallow memories of the original owner.

  "Father is bedridden, now on the brink of death, who would have thought that you still haven't changed your wicked ways and are rebelling again? You, you, you know what you've done?! You've brought suffering to us!" Julia's anger caused her whole body to tremble, she stomped her feet excitedly, struggled, and glared at him furiously.

  "Ah? Sorry, I forgot you were still tied up!" Lain scratched his head and smiled, quickly picking up the military sword from the ground and swiftly swinging it in front of her.

  The rope snapped segment by segment, and the cracks were particularly neat. Julia felt no sensation of the blade touching her, she stared with wide eyes, looking at him in incredulity.

  "You, when did you learn swordsmanship? Ten years ago, since the training incident where I got hurt, didn't you swear to never wield a sword or gun again?" Yulia asked with furrowed eyebrows.

  "I learned it in the barracks, Captain Redmond of the Imperial Guard tricked me into enlisting and I picked it up here." Rayne explained, then quickly crouched down and slid his sword into his boot.

  Here, Julia stretched out her fists and feet, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, smiled slightly, quickly pulled out a short knife from her waist, and placed it on the neck of Lain who was still crouching on the ground.

  The cold blade edge touched his skin, he looked up at his fiancée whom he hadn't seen in ten years, without frowning, and smiled gently.

  "Get up, don't pretend to be smiling now, you're already my captive!" Yulia said in an expressionless and icy tone.

  Ran slowly stood up, shrugged his shoulders, and smiled helplessly. He didn't expect to be hijacked by her, it was really too careless of him, and he felt a little regretful for his actions.

  "Julia, sister, there's something we need to discuss, I don't want to hurt you!" Rain said calmly.

  "With a knife at your throat, you still have the nerve to say that, truly shameless. As the Emperor's person, I have no choice, Rain, don't blame me!" Julia explained, increasing the force of her grip on the short knife in her hand, she had seen his skills before and could only do this, but her hand holding the knife was still trembling slightly.

  "Julia, a knife isn't used like that, let me teach you!" Rain said with a chuckle, quickly pulling out the short knife in front of her neck, and with a flash of movement, he wrapped Julia's entire delicate body in his arms.

  "Let me go, you stinky rascal! Bad egg Rain!......" Julia's face turned pale, struggling and shouting, crying.

  At this time, Lain's fingers were pinched with a short knife, and with a swish, it was stuck in the column inside the camp, leaving only the handle. Seeing this scene, Julia stopped struggling.

  A beauty in his arms, with disheveled raven-black hair and a plump, delicate body that exuded an intense feminine aura, causing Rain's heart to race and his breathing to quicken, as a certain part of his body suddenly underwent a change, he didn't know if it was the original owner's or the current Rain's...

  Ran couldn't help but separate Yulia's scattered long hair on her cheeks, embracing her slender waist, lowering his head, and frantically kissing her cheeks, forehead, neck, and slightly raised nose tip, while his hands continued to caress her delicate body back and forth, finally...

  "You, you..." Lain released Yulia, wiping his lips, and to his surprise, there were still faint streaks of fresh blood flowing out, the dizziness had dissipated, leaving only silence.

  "Who are you, after all?" Julia spat out a mouthful of blood, which was left on Rain's lips from the wound. She hadn't recovered yet when Rain had kissed her crazily earlier, and when he kissed her cherry lips, he suddenly bit down hard.

  "Rayne Green, your fiancé? Have you forgotten?" Rayne spat out a mouthful, wiping his still-bleeding lips, and gazed at her with a look of desperation.

  Julia tidied up her blood-stained battle dress, combed her hair, and the scar on her forehead stood out clearly. If it weren't for the scar, she would be a stunning beauty.

  "Raine Green, good for nothing and weak as a chicken, after the family rebellion was suppressed by the Empire, became a lifelong soldier of the Empire's professional system, drinking and having fun every day, even selling off the family castle. Hmph, with just a few months of 'cannon fodder' (suicide squad) military training, he can progress so quickly?" Julia said, her eyes tightly fixed on Raine.

  "Originally timid and useless, the old Rein is dead. The current Rein is a real man, the highest commander of the 'Cannon Fodder' (Suicide Squad) camp! Believe it or not! The scar on your forehead was my masterpiece when I was six years old learning martial arts. I once vowed that no matter how ugly or old you become, even if the seas dry up and the stones crumble, heaven and earth can testify that I will love you forever! The Green family has always been a thorn in the empire's side, a constant annoyance. If I wasn't timid and useless, idle and indulgent in wine... I had no choice but to live a life of compromise for the sake of my family. Was it easy for me? Now, Yulia, my future wife, don't you understand me either? The empire's territory is expanding endlessly, people are suffering, the empire's subjects are living in dire straits every day, leading to constant war and chaos. Has the empire stopped its expansionist aggression? No, no!" Rein said with a sigh, speaking from the heart.

  At this time, Julia seemed to have re-recognized the reborn Rain. Greene, her fiancé, although many unpleasant things had happened over the past decade or so, their engagement remained unchanged, and even during the Greene family's rebellion, their engagement still existed.
