Zeke had felt someone looking at him and took a quick glance in their direction only to find out that it was the girl
he had saved before.
Why is she in the Thistleton manor?
Could she be one of Ares’ relatives?
That possibility doesn’t seem too far off.
Zeke didn’t really want to interact with the girl any further. He kept feeling as if the way the girl looked at him was
rather strange.
It was almost as if she was in love with him.
Zeke didn’t want to bring on too many problems.
Lacey was all he needed.
With that thought, he quickened his pace and entered the back garden.
Soon after, Princess Lia also rushed into the back garden.
She had just walked into the garden when she saw her ‘nameless hero’.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, what she didn’t know was that the ‘nameless hero’ she had met was not Zeke. Instead, it was Clyde
pretending to be Zeke.
Princess Lia was overjoyed. She rushed forward and said, “My hero! I’ve finally found you!”
Clyde was simply ecstatic.
His plan had worked. He had managed to fool Princess Lia easily.
Clyde smiled. “Princess Lia. What a coincidence. We meet again.”
Princess Lia replied, “Yes, it must be fate. My hero, what are you doing at the Thistleton manor?”
Clyde replied, “Well that’s easy, I’m a Thistleton.”
What?
Princess Lia was taken aback. “W-which Thistleton are you?”
Clyde took off his veil carefully.
When she saw that it was Clyde under the veil, a flash of disappointment crossed her eyes.
She never would have imagined that the nameless hero she had been hopelessly pining over was someone she
hated so much.
Still, whenever she thought of the determined gaze he had when he saved her, her heart skipped a beat.
With that, Princess Lia grudgingly accepted the fact that it was him.
“So it was you.”
Clyde said, “I wasn’t planning on revealing myself originally. I just wasn’t expecting to meet you here of all places.”
Princess Lia replied, “You sure keep a low profile. If I hadn’t happened to bump into you, I might have never...”
As she trailed off, her face started reddening again.
She calmed herself down and said, “What about this? I’ll treat you to a meal as a token of my gratitude. How’s
that?”
Clyde replied, “As an esteemed guest and a girl, no less, how could I make you treat me to a meal? How about we
have dinner together during the banquet my father will throw for you tonight? That will be more than enough to
show your gratitude to me.”
Princess Lia nodded. “Alright, It’s a deal.”
“It’s a deal,” Clyde repeated after her. “Princess Lia, I would like to invite you to accompany me on a walk around
this garden that barely rivals your beauty. Would you be so kind?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPrincess Lia smiled. “Of course.”
With that, the two of them started strolling around the garden.
The autumn wind blew past. Red maple leaves floated gently on the surface of the lake and golden leaves crunched
beneath their feet. It looked almost as if they were in a fairytale world.
The atmosphere was becoming romantic and relaxed at the same time.
Coincidentally, Ares walked past and noticed how close the two of them were.
Ares frowned.
What’s going on? Isn’t Clyde the furthest thing possible from Princess Lia’s type?
How did the two of them start taking strolls together as if they were a couple?
After the two of them ended their walk, Ares went to talk to Clyde.
“Clyde, what’s going on with you and Princess Lia? The two of you have gotten pretty close in a remarkable amount
of time.”
Clyde smiled warmly. “Father, I’ve been keeping something from you. Actually, I was the one who saved Princess
Lia earlier today.”
What?
Ares looked at Clyde suspiciously. “Are you sure?”
