Chapter 76
Just as Jessica and Monica were at a loss for how to comfort Garbisch, someone arrived from Leon House, it was Shawn.
“General Garbisch, Shawn stepped up to them and gave a slight bow. “Ms. Yates,”
“Mr. Shawn,” the two replied politely.
Shawn gave Jessica a smile, then turned to Garbisch and presented a long wooden box with both hands.
“This is..7” A flicker of emotion flashed in Gastsch’s eyes. He had a suspicion, but he wasn’t certain. After all, it seemed too unlikely.
Yet, lately, Leon had a way of taming many “impossible” things into reality.
Shawn opened the box. Under Garbisch’s astonished gaze, he took out a Voidsteel Spear inlaid with silver and presented it to him with both hands.
Garbisch sprang to his feet, excitement in his voice. “His Highness…he’s willing to land me the spear?”
To his surprise, Shawn shook his head. “No.”
Garbisch’s face fell instantly.
if Leon wasn’t willing to lend it, Shawn shouldn’t bring it here to tempt him.
Of course, Shawn noticed the disappointment in Garbisch’s eyes, but the smile on his lips only deepened. “General Garbisch, Prince Leon doesn’t intend to lend it. He wants to give this Voidsteel Spear to you.”
Garbisch was stunned and nearly leapt in joy
But after a moment, doubt crept in.
He quickly looked over to the seats of Waldo House nearby, but saw that Waldo and his second brother, Melvin, were chatting and not paying attention to
them.
He wasn’t sure if he should accept the spear. After all, one shouldn’t get rewards for no reason.
Garbisch said, “Mr. Shawn, this spear…
“My lord simply hopes you can do him a small favor. In return, he wishes to gift this spear to you,” Shawn said
Garbisch hurriedly asked, “What does His Highness wish me to do?”
Such an overt gesture to win over their noble house would bring considerable pressure.
However, now that their house had fallen out with Waldo’s faction, and with his own body now impaired, protecting Jessica in the future would become
more difficult.
For the sake of Jessica and his grandfather, perhaps it was indeed time for their house to find another powerful ally.
Garbisch deeply admired Leon, Leon had managed to reclaim the perilous northern border, and in the hearts of warriors like him, that made Leon a great
hers.
Yet he didn’t want the Yates family to be caught up in the struggle for the throne, It was a tough decision.
Shawn smiled and said, “General Garbisch, you don’t need to worry. His Highness only hopes you can speak a few kind words about him in front of Ms. Yates, so that she might not dislike him so much.”
“What?” Garbisch was utterly stunned.

Jessica narrowed her eyes, her expression darkening. “What kind of scheme is that devil cooking up now?
After the initial shock, Gabisch quickly clained, “Mr. Shawn, please tell His Highness that Jessica harbors absolutely no disrespect toward him. Highness to understand.”
Shawn sighed, clearly exasperated. “My lord says that Ms. Yates won’t even offer him the smallest smile when she sees him. He assumes it must be because he’s too ugly.”
Garbisch muttered, “That’s impossible. „
Shawn smiled. “Just a few kind words to help my lord feel less disliked by Ms. Yates. That’s all he hopes for
With that, Shawn gently handed the spear to Garbisch and immediately withdrew his hands, bowed again, and left.
Garbisch stood frozen in place, unable to react for a long moment.
By the time he came back to his senses, Shawn was already standing straight behind Leon
At that moment, Leon lifted his cup and gave a slight toast toward him.
Startled, Garbisch quickly set the spear aside, hurriedly picked up his cup, and returned the gesture
Then a sudden thought struck him. The spear was already placed at his side. It might seem that he had accepted the spear,
