Curtis quickly pushed Gabriel aside and followed Margot into her room.When he saw Margot sitting on the carpet by the bedside hugging herself, he went over, crouched down, and gently placed his hand on her."Margot, after all these years, you still don't trust me?"Margot didn't even look up and waved her hand, saying, "Go change your clothes and take a shower before talking to me."He had the scent of women's perfume all over him, and it made her feel really nauseous.However, Curtis was not pleased.He frowned, and while taking off his shirt, he said in a deep voice, "Let me tell you once more—all these marks on my body are self-inflicted. I'm going to take a shower now, but if you can't trust me even a little bit, then it will really hurt my feelings."He got up, took off his shirt, and threw it in the trash can. He then went to the bathroom with his upper body bare.Margot slowly lifted her head and looked at the shirt he had thrown in the trash can. She felt an inexplicab
After hearing what Ryan said, Gabriel naturally became cautious. He laughed and said, "Thank you for your warm hospitality, but we find the hotel quite nice. We'll rest here for a couple of days and then head back, so there's no need to trouble the royal family."Ryan asked, "Is Mr. Sawyer worried about something?""I'm not worried about anything; I simply don't want to trouble the royal family."Ryan insisted, "It's no trouble. We'll wait here for Mr. Sawyer for a few minutes. You can gather your things and come with us."Gabriel was at a loss for words. By the looks of it, they were determined to take them away.He closed the door, looking very serious.Luna asked him, "What should we do now? Why would the royal family suddenly send someone to invite us as guests?""Curt must have been inquiring about Daniel and it caught their attention. Now they want to detain us to figure out the reason."He then saw Margot sitting by herself with her head down and typing on her phone.
Upon receiving multiple messages, Calvin could hardly believe that Daniel was still alive.But since Margot was in danger, he naturally needed to take care of that first.Curtis received a message from Margot while on his way to Hiddel Castle.Upon learning that the king of Koronia had invited them to the royal palace, he felt uneasy. Nonetheless, he decided to first go to Hiddel Castle to find Daniel.With Gabriel around, it was to be expected that he would protect the two women well.By the time Curtis arrived at Hiddel Castle, it was already dark.The entire castle was heavily guarded everywhere, making it impossible for him to get in.There was no other way in. He would have to climb the walls.…Back at the royal palace, Ryan had just sent people to monitor Gabriel and the others to prevent them from leaving when some staff came to report to him."Your Highness, after Mr. Crosby left the hotel, he didn't head to the airport. We're still tracking his whereabouts. Should w
Upon hearing this, both Ragnar's and Ryan's expressions immediately changed dramatically.They didn't understand why Calvin was calling at this time. Could it be that he found out that Daniel was in their hands?Ragnar looked serious as he instructed Ryan, "Do exactly as I say immediately, and make sure to hide Geralt well.""Alright."Ryan then left the room.Ragnar took the phone from his subordinate and immediately said in a friendly manner, "Hello, Mr. Calvin Morris. We're honored to receive your call."Calvin didn't beat around the bush. "King Ragnar, nice to meet you. I heard that your daughter got married. Why didn't you invite me?""Mr. Morris is extremely busy with work, and he's also exhausted from the recent loss of close family members. If I invited you, wouldn't it just add to your troubles?""Since you had your concerns, then so be it. I've heard that my younger sister is a guest at the royal palace?"Ragnar's expression changed. "Your younger sister?""That's r
Feeling very uneasy, Ryan showed a worried expression. "Do you mean Your Majesty wants me to please the princess of the Morris family?""Yes, try to make her develop feelings for you. This would be very beneficial for us."Ryan firmly objected, "Father, please forgive me, but I cannot comply. I already have a beloved lady in my heart, and I cannot betray her.""How dare you?"Ragnar sternly rebuked while glaring at his son, "Are you talking about Nessa who stays by Edna's side? Do you believe that I won't banish her from the kingdom immediately?"Ryan suddenly dropped to his knees and immediately conceded, saying, "Father, please calm down. I will do as you wish.""Well, hurry up then," Ragnar snapped.…Over at Hiddel Castle, Curtis climbed over the tall wall, took out a bodyguard, switched into his clothes, and blended in with the patrol team.When no one was looking, he sneaked through the hidden parts of the garden, dodging people along the way, and made his way into the s
Curtis stood up from the ground and bluntly told Allison, "I'm looking for someone—the newlywed husband of Princess Edna. Do you know him, Allison?""Geralt?"Allison looked skeptical. "Why are you looking for him?"Curtis asked, "Is Princess Edna's new husband named Geralt?""Yeah, why are you specifically looking for him?"Curtis took a moment to calm down and looked at Allison, "Answer me first. How did you end up here? And in what capacity are you here?""I am one of Prince Ryan's bodyguards and also his assistant. Is there a problem?"Curtis was stunned. Did Allison actually come to Koronia to be a Koronian prince's bodyguard?It was surprising, but it made sense.Allison always had a tomboyish personality. She started learning how to kickbox at the age of five, won a national Taekwondo black belt championship at ten, and joined the military at 16. After retiring from the military, she stayed at home for two years before going abroad.Curtis never would have guessed that
Allison left the room and went downstairs to the castle's living room, where she met Ryan.Ryan, with a serious expression on his face, briskly walked over to her when he saw her, grabbed her hand, and said, "Come with me."Allison pulled his hand away and asked, "Where are we going?""Just come with me."Ryan didn't want to speak; he just wanted to quickly take Allison away and leave.Allison was still unwilling to leave and asked, "Why did Your Highness send someone to take Edna and Geralt away? Did they do something wrong?""They didn't do anything wrong, but now you're in danger."Ryan looked at Allison with a face full of concern. "Come with me now and leave this place, or my father is very likely to harm you."Allison was puzzled. "Why would His Majesty want to target me?""Because I didn't obey his orders.""What is Your Highness saying?"Allison couldn't understand why Ryan wouldn't obey Ragnar's order.Even if Ryan didn't comply, what does it have to do with her? S
"So you really want me to go?" Ryan asked again.Allison continued speaking with a gentle smile, "Your Highness is at the age where it's appropriate to meet and get to know some exceptional young ladies.""Nessa."Ryan suddenly got very angry. While staring at Allison, he shouted, "You're such a foolish, stupid woman, who's unbelievably naïve. Fine, as you wish, I'll go and charm another woman."He stood up and commanded, "Come with me. I want to show you how I make other women fall in love with me."Allison really couldn't understand Ryan's actions. Why would he make her watch when he was trying to charm another woman? She didn't have time for that."Your Highness, you should go on your own. I still have some matters to take care of here," Allison said, declining politely.Curtis was still waiting for her in the room."I won't. I want you to see how I charm other women," Ryan demanded with displeasure. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her along.Allison felt somewhat helpless
