The continuation of Grandeur Fantasia Leon Rivelia, the heir to the largest conglomerate company in the world, was suddenly transported to a fantasy world. The previous world he lived in, the business world, is a place where nothing could be trusted. Everyone lies to fulfill their desires. Utter sweet, sweet words to others to lower their guards and stab them without hesitation to gain profit. It was natural for them. The beings called humans. That's why ignorance was indeed bliss. That way, one wouldn't see the ugliness of human greed. However, that was not the case with Leon. Born with the talent to see through lies and the ugliness of human thoughts and feelings, he lost the ability to trust in others. In this new fantasy world which was similar to a game he played, he would meet people he could call his friends, fall in love, and find the meaning of trust as Leon Misteltein. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you enjoy my story, please come support me in my Patreon!!! https://www.patreon.com/verglasx

Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.
