Chapter 68

Jessica was frantie. ” don’t want either!” she snapped. “Whether it’s my room of her woman—how could I possibly let you stay the night in my courtyard!”

“Are you suggesting you want me to sleep in your room?”

on the verge of balling asleep.

it’s still my courtyard! Your Highness, I’m an unmarried

“Lean’s voice dropped even lower, laced with a trace of nasal sound, almost as though he

malca was furious and exasperated–she had never encountered with a shameless man.

“Your Highness, you’re casually ruining my reputation, and you have no intention of marrying me. Do you really not care about my well–being? How are you any different from the others?”

She expected him to get angry–it he were angry, he would leave in a hull, and they could part ways for good.

But to her surprise, Leon didn’t even seem slightly bothered.

He even sneered, “All those formalities and social conventions–what do they matter? I’ve told you, if you’re uncomfortable in Capitalia, come with me to

the Northern Border,”

“Your Highness, do you still intend to return to the Northern Border? Jessica was taken aback. This was the second time she had heard Leon mention taking her back to the Northern Border.

But he was Prince Leon and now a top contender for the throne. She wondered, “Why would he go back to the Northern Border? If he did, he’d be nothing more than a vassal prince.”

Of course, Jessica didn’t dare voice these thoughts aloud. After all, she still didn’t know whether Prince Leon

i was a a friend or foe.

Leon’s eyes were closed, his breathing steady. She could even hear a soft snoring sound from his nose. He was really asleep.

On a stone bench, no less–one that was far too short for him to stretch his long legs.

Jessica had never felt so powerless in front of anyone

He wasn’t afraid of ridicule, unbothered by threats, completely immune to bribes, and impossible to reason with. It was as if nothing could touch him. There was nothing she could do.

In the end, she had no choice but to storm out of the pavilion, glaring at the distant tree as she muttered, “Can someone do something about Prince

Leon?”

A ligure leapt down from the tree and landed lightly in front of her, it was Magnus, who sighed in resignation. “Ms. Yates, I never dare to interfere with

Prince Leon.”

“He’s sleeping in the courtyard of an unmarried woman, and you’re just going to let it happen?” Jessica’s usuall calm was completely shattered by Leon

tonight.

Magnus seemed unfazed. “It’s just the three of us who know about this. If I don’t speak of it, who will?”

Jessica was so tempted to roll her eyes. Just because they kept it a secret didn’t mean it hadn’t happened.

But Magnus had a different perspective. “if you’re worried about what others might say, just accept Prince Leon’s proposal, That would settle everything”

“I don’t know why you keep making jokes about this,” Jessica replied seriously. “But one thing’s clear: the King will never allow a woman who broke off

an engagement with his son to marry his other son. Has Prince Leon considered this?”

Her expression was stern, but Magnus remained just as serious. “Prince Lean has considered it”
