“What did you just say?” Jessica was nearly scared out of her wits. He just said it so casually.
She said, “Your Highness, please mind your words. If rumors spread, my name will be dragged through the mud again
“That’s why I only say it to you never to anyone else, Leon replied, closing his eyes again, hiding all emotion beneath his lids, “I feel wronged, Jeiska,”
“Your Highness, please don’t joke like this!” Jessica’s face darkened.
She didn’t remember she had said such a thing about marrying him.
Since she was very young.
gher heart had always belonged to Waldo. She’d never even interacted much with Leon
Leon said nothing more. With his eyes closed, he looked like he was determined to sleep. No matter what she did to his wounds, he didn’t react
Except when she accidentally hurt him, and his brows would twitch ever so slightly.
Jessica carefully bandaged the last of his wounds. He seemed to have fallen asleep.
She whispered, “Your Highness, your wounds are treated now. Please return to your quarters.”
He didn’t respond. She tried again, with more patience, “Your Highness
Leon said, “I’ll leave when I wake up.”
“But you can’t sleep in my room!” she protested.
“Already am,” His tone was casual, as if to say, “Why make a fuss now?”
Jessica realized he really had no intention of leaving. If he wouldn’t go, she could.
She packed up the medicine box and got ready to leave.
Just as she reached the door, she heard Leon speak hoarsely. “You really did promise to marry me when we grew up.”
She froze mid–step, brows furrowed, annoyed, “Your Highness, plebe..
But when she turned back, a cold wind brushed past her.
The window was wide open, and he was already gone.
The Moon–Slaying Blade had disappeared along with him.
Jessica couldn’t shake off a strange sense of unease.
Leon was always so teasing and flippant, but just now, there had been something different in his voice. There was a hint of grievance. It didn’t feel like he was joking.
Jessica started to think that maybe she had promited him something before.
But that was impossible. From the moment she could remember, she had barely ever interacted with Leon
She thought maybe he had confused her with someone else. Maybe he’d made a childhood promise with some other girl and now blamed it on her.
Although he didn’t seem like someone who’d me

But he did beat up Malik, It was rather cockless

Jessica cleaned up the room before returning to bed. Her thoughts were a mess. She didn’t even know what exactly she was thinking.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, a strange memory suddenly fitted across her mind.
She kissed Leon on the cheek and mumbled, “When I grow up, I want to

Jessica’s eyes flew open. She was covered in cold sweat.
“It was just a dream,” she
e muttered, exhaling deeply in relief.
She thought ‘How horrifying! I actually dreamed about kissing that devil and saying something ridiculous like ‘Til marry you when I grow up: What is wrong with me?”
She suspected she had been brainwashed by Leon.
Yanking the blanket over her head, she tried to smother herself in it. But one line kept echoing in her mind. “Jessica, I feel wronged.”
She suddenly snapped, “Stop saying that!” Her head throbbed.
The next morning, Monica barged into Jessica’s room.
She asked nervously, “Ms. Yates, there was a pool of blood in the courtyard. I washed it off. What on earth happened last night?
Monica was pale with fright. That much blood could easily have come from someone dying.
