Chapter 1970
The atmosphere at the table immediately bectense after Layna spoke those words.
As the crown prince of Mightwater, though he had a carefree and open-minded character, it did not mean he was
a fool.
Any intelligent person would agree to Layna's request because Levi was their greatest support when compared
to his buddy. Even the crown prince's uncle, Phoenix, was merely a general in Levi's troop. The crown prince
looked at his mom and turned to Layna before shrugging his shoulders helplessly and continuing to devour his
crab claw.
"In all the years I've lived, there aren't many people | admire." While chewing on his plump crab claw, he
continued, "The only person my age whom | admire is Matthew. He saved my life, and | respect him, so this is a
lifetof gratitude. If Master Levi is displeased with our relationship, my mom and | can estrange ourselves
from him. However, if Matthew is in danger, |, the crown prince, will not stand around and watch him get
harmed. Hmm! As expected from a fresh crab caught in the sea. This is delicious!"
After speaking, he did not look up from his food and continued enjoying the delectable seafood. His answer was
crystal clear; regardless of his relationship with Matthew, he would continue to protect him. Meanwhile, Poison
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSpider did not have much of a reaction to her son's answer because she had always been unconditionally
supportive of her son's decisions. Yet, when she saw Layna's darkened expression, she hurriedly reprimanded,
"You brat, how could you speak to your god-grandmother that way?"
She slapped the back of the crown prince's head before turning to Layna and explaining, "Godmother, don't take
a kid's words to heart. He's young and loves those delusive, illusive things like heroes and their loyalty to each
other. I'm sure he'll understand what you mean after he grows older."
With that, Layna understood what she was implying. Since she did not deny her son's choice, it meant that she
was on her son's side.
After a moment's silence, Layna nodded her head. Now that she had the answer, she no longer needed to
pretend. "So, it seems you two are loyal and righteous people. Alright, then. I'll drop the act." After having said
that, she smiled again and informed, "I kept a black box in a safety deposit. Prince, would you mind helping me
get it out?"
As her words fell, the mother-son duo secretly felt relieved. Subsequently, the crown prince agreed to her
request without hesitation.
Then, Layna took out a piece of paper from within her clothes. "Everything you need is written on this paper!
Burn it once you memorize everything. Also, you can't reveal this to anyone, understand?" After he memorized
everything on the piece of paper, he obediently nodded despite being curious. Should we keep this from Master
Levi as well?
However, when he saw Layna's solemn countenance, he quickly stopped himself from asking that question.
Meanwhile, in the study, a soft breeze blew inside the room as the door pushed open.
Within a second, a woman in black stood before Levi's desk. "Master Levi, | saw Madam instructing the crown
prince about something, but | didn't dare to get closer cause | was afraid of getting found out. So, | wasn't able
to hear their conversation."
Hearing his subordinate's report, Levi did not have much reaction. "It doesn't matter. There's no need to watch
them."
"But."
Just as the female subordinate was about to speak again, he interrupted her. "They can do whatever they want
as long as they aren't plotting to harm me. Moreover, if they had wanted to do so, they wouldn't have waited
until this moment. Also, all of you have to ensure the Madam's safety, that's all. | hope that you guys understand
that there are sthings you should and shouldn't listen to."
"Yes, Master Levi. I'll leave and relay your orders!"
When he picked up his pen, he regained his solitude once again in his peaceful study.
