Monica’s heart skipped a heat, worried that Jessica might be in danger. She immediately stapped forward to protect Jessica.

Jessica felt a faint ache in her temple but kept her composize, subtly pulling Monica behind her.

Jessica thought, “Men are really nothing but trouble. Why do their romantic entanglements have to involve met

She glanced at Elsie’s whip, then smiled, an idea forming in her mind.

“Your Highness, I think you’ve misunderstood. I’m not entirely sure what happened earlier. It seemed like Prince Leon had some sort of disagreement with Prince Waldo, and, since I’m an old acquaintance of his… there were a lot of complicated reasons. I can’t explain everything right now. But I must say, Your Highness, your whip is truly beautiful. What material is it made from? I’ve never seen one so unique before!”

Elsie’s whip, dark and glossy with a faint red sheen, was clearly crafted from an incredibly rare material.

Jessica’s compliment seemed to defuse the anger that had been simmering in Elsie, and her fury calmed by half

She gently stroked the whip, a proud smile lighting her face. “It’s made from the skin of a Fire Lion Beast. It was incredibly fierce. The warriors of Askar spent three days and nights to capture it!”

Seeing Jessica’s downcast expression, Elsie felt a pang of sympathy. The sight of such a beautiful woman looking so forlorn was enough to stir her emotions.

“You don’t be sad. You’ll find someone who cares for you too. … .. Elsie struggled for the right words, not accustomed to comforting others. Seeing Jessica upset left her at a loss for what to say,

Finally, feeling helpless, she quickly walked over and grabbed Jessica’s hand. “Don’t be sad. From now on, I’ll look after you!”

Monica cleared her throat, her voice muffled.

Jessica, without changing her expression, discreetly kicked her under the table.

Monica quickly lowered her head and stepped back, not daring to make a sound.

Jessica finally looked at Elsie and nodded. “I understand, I’m not sad. I’ll stay strong”

“Good!” Elsie smiled brightly, her grip tightening on Jessica’s hand. Just then, Malik and Waldo stepped out of the inn. Elsie quickly led Jessica to them “Malik, let me introduce you to my new friend.”

“You’ve made a new friend?” Malik’s gaze landed on Jessica’s face.
