Chapter 275

Leon lowered his gaze to her and asked softly. “Jessica, do you want me to agree? I will if you think I should. Your word is my command

Jessica quickly distanced hersell. “This is your business, Your Highness. My opinion holds no weight.”

However, Leon said earnestly, “I’ve always wanted you as my military advisor. That’s why your opinion means everything to me

While Leon and Jessica were talking, they completely ignored everyone around. The people present felt like they were nothing more than av

Yet their words kept everyone tense.

Everyone else thought, “I wanna hear more!”

Jessica looked at Leon and said, “Your Highness, you reign supreme in the Northern Borderlands with countless brilliant strategists at your command. What could a woman like me possibly offer you?”

Leon answered with utmost gravity, “Even a hopeless case like Waldo became the War God of Novigrad under your guidance. And 1, a powerful figure, am invincible and skilled in battle. Jessica, if I have your help, it will only be a matter of time before I conquer Montvale and Montville.”

“You want to conquer Montvale and Montville?” Jessica was startled, and her normally calm and composed expression changed.

Beside them, Garbisch was so startled that his hand jerked. His cup fell onto the table with a clatter.

Coffee splashed everywhere in an instant.

However, no one paid any attention to the spilled coffee.

Jessica’s hand shot out to clutch Leon’s sleeve, her voice quivering with disbelief as she said, “You… You intend to conquer Montvale and Montville?”

Her parents, her two uncles, Alivia’s husband, and Rashad all perished in Montvale, leaving not even a trace of their remains behind.

Montvale was deadly dangerous!

In Novigrad’s centuries, no one had ever won a battle against Montvale.

Though he was the King of the Northern Borderlands and had weathered countless dangers, did he truly understand what Montvale was like?

Jessica said, “All kinds of mysterious masters are crawling in Montvale. Battle formations, venom magic, poison, illusions, and mind tricks. You name it. These are tricks no outsider could ever hope to copy.”

Jessica thought, ‘The Northern Borderlands may be perilous, but at least its territory was won through tough combat. But even if your martial arts are unmatched and your soldiers the toughest, you’ll never overcome mysterious formations and deadly poisons in Montvale.

‘My parents had marched to reclaim Montvale with grand ambitions, but in the end…‘

Suddenly, a strong, warm hand enveloped her ice–cold fingers.

Jessica jerked her head up and found herself drowning in the depths of his eyes. For a moment, she thought she could see every emotion he held for her, clear and unwavering.

In his eyes, she saw both doting affection and unwavering resolve.

Leon said softly, “I know Montvale is your deepest pain. If you’re willing, I’ll go there with you, through hell or deep water, and I’ll never regret it.”

That afternoon, Elsie wouldn’t leave Jessica’s side, insisting they go for a walk in the countryside.

Jessica could tell Elsie had a lot on her mind.

Finally, Jessica led Elsie back to the Yates family.
