In the end, Garbisch had officially accepted the Voidsteel Spear from Leon,
When one had taken somentu
it was hard to speak against them.
Once Leon started chatting again with Prince Melvin and had in time in pay attention to them, Gathisch quickly turned to Jessica
He said, “Jessica, from now on, don’t look down on Prince Lean just because he’s not handsome. Back in the day, he was the most handsome man in Capitalia. Even your brother couldn’t help but weak glances of his looks were beyond your imagination”
Jessica replied, “Garbisch, I……..
Before Jessica could finish, Gabisch interrupted again, “His Highness’s face is ruined because of what he suffered for the people of the northern frontier, for the sake of the country. I know you’ve always had a soft spot for handsome men, but you can’t judge Prince Leon so superficially. It hurt his confidence”
‘Confidence issues?” Jessica almost thought she had misheard.
If that devil could feel insecure, then there wouldn’t be a single confident man left in the world.
With his presence and aura, even if his whole face or his body were destroyed, “insecurity still wouldn’t come close to describing him
But she couldn’t explain that to Garbisch. He wouldn’t understand.
So Jessica just pretended to be enlightened and nodded abediently, saying softly, “I understand, Garbisch. From now on, when I see Prince Leon, remember to smile more at him”
Just then, from not far away, Leon’s deep gare happened to sweep in their direction
Jessica sighed silently. After shooting him a glare, she smiled charmingly.
In an unnoticed comer, Waldo slammed his cup down onto the table with a loud smack.
That woman just gave Leon a flirtatious look, smiling like some kind of courtesan
He couldn’t believe Jessica had to stoop to this just to keep the Yates family afloat now that she’d left him. Begging for favors, lowering herself at every
y and bitterly frustrated.
Waldo was truly angry a
He had never said he wouldn’t protect the Yates family. She was the one who kept pushing him away.
Ater all these years, if she would just come back and ask him, he would still be willing to shield them. He was never that heartless.
But Jessica hadn’t even glanced his way, not once. He didn’t know if she didn’t care or if this was just another tactic of hers.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the venue became livelier.
The entourage of the third prince of Askar, Malik Mcbride, had arrived.
Many were seeing Malik for the first time, and rufsors said that in recent years, he had become especially favored by the King of Askar. He might even be
the future heir to the throne.
Many young ladies dressed elaborately today with the hope of catching the prince’s eye. They didn’t expect Malik would be so stunning. His beauty was ethereal, making their beans flutter
“Ms. Yates, feel something’s off about the mood among the ladies today. Also, there’ve been some rumors going around outside recently,” Monica

leaned in and whispered to Jessica
“What rumors?” Jessica was also watching the Askar group, though her eyes were on Elsie, who had just waved at her.
She quickly smiled back, returning the greeting.
Monica kept her voice low. “I overheard a palace maid saying that Askar and Novigrad are planning a political marriage. And by the looks of it, the chouit one is likely to be Prince Malik.”
Jéssica understood now. It was no wonder the ladies were dressed to the nines today.
This was supposed to be a martial arts tournant, but the women all had exquisite makeup on, and many had come in full formal wear
It seemed the rumor had been circulating for some time, but the Yates family had been so caught up in trouble lately, they hadn’t noticed
To most of these young women, if they could marty Malik, they might one day become the queen of Askar.
It was indeed a bright and promising path
Instinctively, she glanced at Malik, only to realize that his gaze was also lived on her.
