Chapter 333
Nolan hurried in with someone and said anxiously, “Mr. Yates, Princess Elsie is awake, but… she’s not doing well. She keeps demanding to sava verile
The man rushed up to Garbisch, bowed respectfully with his hands clasped, his face full of anxiety, and pleaded, “Mr. Yates, Princess Elsie is in a crimes. state. She keeps saying it was you who saved her, and she insists on seeing you! Mr. Yates, I beg you, please help her!”
“Garbisch, go with them to the palace first and see how Princess Elsie is doing,” Jessica also urged.
After succumbing to the fire that night, Elsie had been unconscious for three days. She only just managed to wake up today, but seeing the grave look my Gail’s face, it was clear something was seriously wrong.
Were it not for the matters at hand, Jessica would have gone along. She was eager to see what was happening.
Gail’s evasiveness hinted at a graver situation than Jessica had anticipated.
Garbisch looked at Jessica, torn between his duties.
Leon said calmly, “Garbisch, rest assured. You needn’t worry about my affairs…”
Jessica gently nudged Garbisch and said, “Garbisch, rest assured. I’ll take good care of Leon and be responsible for his safety for now.”
Although hesitant, Garbisch was used to following Jessica’s lead. Without another thought, he followed Gail into the palace.
After the others had left, Jessica turned to Lincoln and said, “I was with Leon all night investigating the case Whatever he knows, I know. Mr. Moore, I’ll accompany you, but don’t take too long. I must get back quickly to protect Leon.”
Jessica was but a young woman, a delicate, vulnerable–looking beauty at that. At first glance, she seemed as fragile
as a flower.
Yet strangely, every gesture she made and her composed demeanor radiated such a calm, steady presence that others couldn’t help but hang on to her every word.
Leon, on the other hand, wore an icy expression. Though he looked drained, his eyes burned with veiled menace.
Lincoln was no coward, yet Leon’s intimidating presence still unsettled him.
Lincoln stood up, bowed respectfully to Jessica, and declared solemnly, “The High Court will never wrong an innocent person, nor will we let any culprit escape justice.”
“Mr. Moore, I trust you. I’ll go with you.“Seeing Leon’s expression darken, Jessica said softly, “Mr. Moore may be short–tempered and stubborn at times, but he’s neither a brute nor unreasonable. He’s a decent man. I trust him. Leon, please trust me as well.”
Lincoln cleared his throat awkwardly but remained silent.
Jessica openly judged Lincoln right in front of him, showing not a single hint of embarrassment.
Leon pressed his lips into a thin line and remained silent.
“Mr. Moore, may I have a moment? I’d like to escort Leon to his chamber so he can rest first.”
“Go ahead,” Mr. Moore responded promptly.
‘Looks like I won’t be able to get Prince Leon here today,‘ Lincoln thought. ‘But since Jessica was with him all day yesterday, she can at least provide
some answers for now.‘
Jessica carefully supported Leon as they made their way inside.
Instead of going to the Lucid Pavilion, Leon stubbornly insisted

Instead of going to the Lucid Pavilion, Leon stubbornly insisted he wouldn’t sleep in any bed unless it was her own bedchamber.

Left with no choice, Jessica escorted Leon to Moonchase Hall, her own bedchamber once agairi.
Oh well, my reputation’s already In shambles anyway,‘ she thought.
But in her heart, Jessica still had one lingering doubt. She asked, “The man you saw last night was that really Anthony?”
