For The Glory Of Sitia Empire

Chapter 29

At her bedroom, Annasophy was biting on her nails while her lady-in-waiting brushing the long golden wavy hair in admiration. Annasophy was the typical image of a princess, looking as if she jumped out of a fairy tale, overly pretty and shiny.

But this lovely Princess was having quite a hard time at the moment.

Her secret affair has been discovered!!

While imagining the worst scenario of her father's reaction and the consequences, the door suddenly slammed open.

With an indifferent attitude, Lennox directly walked to Annasophys' bed and threw himself on it.

Annasophy said in a frustrated tone:" how about knocking the door before invading someone's room?".

Lennox hummed, then answered with a straight face: "no thank you".

Veins appeared on Annasophy's head, she said grimly:" get out".

Lennox smirked: "you sure? I thought you would be over the moon to see me, you need my help don't you?".

Annasophy gritted her teeth in defeat, it is as Lennox said, if there is someone who can get her out of this chaos without any extra troubles then it will only be him. Annasophy gestured at her lady-in-waiting to leave them alone, without hesitating the maid left silently.

Of course, no one wants to stay in the same room with this cursed crown prince.

After confirming that the room was empty, Annasophy demanded:" what do want?".

Lennox flipped on his back facing the ceiling, he said:" forget about the dead man and I will keep your frog prince alive ".

Annasophy barked:" you mean the one that you killed ".

Lennox nonchalantly said:" I didn't kill him, I was just teaching him a lesson for annoying me and he died on his own".

Annasophy sneered:" you crazy devil".

Lennox:" so, is it a deal?".

Annasophy:" a dead man is different from a few kisses in the yard".

Lennox sat on the edge of the bed, arms crossed: "yeah, in normal terms. But not for the old bastard, I can't insure your lovers' safety if he hear about this".

Annasophy knotted her brows, her eyes filled with concern and worries, Jennings has always been overprotective when it comes to her. thinking that someone would break his precious daughter's heart, Jennings declined all the marriage proposals that were sent to Annasophy, believing that only a worthy man can have his Princess.

If getting close to her was this risky, then the one who already did the deed could be considered as good as dead.

Annasophy raised her head, about to respond to Lennox but suddenly the face of her beloved flashed inside her head, making her slightly tremble.

Seeing her struggling to answer, Lennox decided to step down a little for her. At the end of the day, he is the one who gains the most, convincing Jennings to not kill someone was a piece of cake for him.

Lennox sighed as he leaned on one of his arms:" I know I am asking much for a little, then how about this, I will turn your frog prince into that 'worthy and reliable' person that the old bastard is looking for as to be your partner".

Annasophy: "hmph, as if you could".

Lennox: "of course I do. Who do you think I am ?".

Annasophy said doubtfully: "and how are you going to handle the current situation? ".

Lennox:" Everly is dumb as fuck, I can easily play with her memories ".

Annasophy hesitated for a long while before she finally gave up and agreed to leave the matter to Lennox.

By the time Lennox reached to Everlys' quarters, the umbrella butler returned after delivering Lennoxs' massage to Oliver demanding him to prepare five knights to head off towards the south by the dawn.

As he always did, Lennox kicked the door open making both Everly and Rachel jolting in surprise.

Lennox said delightedly: "oh, you are not asleep yet, lucky me".

' how do expect people to keep sleeping when you are basically invading them', the umbrella butler thought.

Rachel quickly stood and curtsied to Lennox, she asked respectfully:" what brings your highness here at this hour?".

Lennox kept his smile as he walked closer to them, he said: "I came to cheer zombie girl up since she looked so depressed during dinner ".

Hearing that, Everly who was originally feeling dizzy and was about to fall asleep, she whooped: "you came to play with me!!".

Lennox:" not really. I am here to ask if you want to accompany me to Yusfin in the south ".

Everlys' answer was obvious on her wide smile and sparkling eyes but before she could say anything, Rachel quickly responded:" your highness, The lady is still not feeling well, I am afraid she won't be able to handle the travel troubles ".

Everly whined instantly:" noo!! I am fine I can go, I want to go".

Lennox:" do not worry, Rachel. As of her safety, I shall take care of it, and it's better for her health to go out for some air instead of being caged inside the palace all the time ".

Everly hugged Rachels' arm, looking at her with pleading eyes, after a pause of hesitation, Rachel couldn't continue to refuse Everlys' tears and gave up on stopping her.

Rachel sighed:" fine, if this what your highness decided and what the lady wishes to, I can not oppose".

Lennox exclaimed:" perfect!! Then we leave at dawn ".

While Everly was happily flipping on her bed, Rachel escorted Lennox to the door, yet before he goes in his way, she called for him:" your highness!".

Lennox turned to face the wary and solemn Rachel, she continued:" I know I am crossing my line, but wish if your highness would tell me the reason for your kindness towards the lady ".

Lennox let out a short dry laugh saying:" it's not like I am showing her any special favour, the thing is, I only resent humans".

Rachel was dumbfounded for a moment, but she immediately regained her composure saying:" I see, forgive me for suspecting your intentions, your highness ".

Lennox turned back and walked a couple of steps before coming to a halt, with a straight back and a head hung high, he said in a clear voice: "however, those that I owe shall not be mistreated ".

after throwing that, Lennox headed his way leaving Rachel bewildered.
