Right at that moment, a eunuch walked into the room and said respectfully, “Your Majesty, someone is asking for
you outside the palace. His name is Florian Darby, and he is from the New World. He claims that he is a friend.”
‘Florian Darby?’
Donoghue put his wine glass down. He subconsciously squinted his eyes.
‘Isn’t he doing well as an official in the New World? Why is he here?’
Donoghue raised his hands. “Let him in.”
“Yes!” The eunuch immediately responded before he left quickly.
Not long after that, the eunuch brought two people, who looked worn out from their journey, into the room. It was
Florian and Yumi.
“Your Majesty!”
When they were in front of Donoghue, Florian immediately pulled Yumi and knelt. He spoke with an extremely
respectful and polite tone. “I, Florian Darby, along with my wife, Yumi Griff, are here to greet Your Majesty. All hail
Your Majesty!”
Florian’s heart was extremely excited.
They finally met Donoghue. They would be able to start a new life from then onward.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDonoghue chuckled out loud. He lifted his hands. “Master Darby, you may get up…”
His eyes looked at Yumi closely. Donoghue was stunned and shocked to see her.
‘What a coincidence! So, this woman is Florian’s wife?‘ He chuckled to himself.
When Donoghue traveled the seas around Donghai City, he had stumbled upon Yumi, who was on the run. He had
been outraged when he knew that she was from the Darby family and that she was Darryl’s sister-in-law; he had
even defiled her for that reason. Then, he took her with him until he obtained the Sky Breaking Ax.
It was a nightmare for Yumi, but it was something that Donoghue still reminisced about frequently.
Woo…
Yumi felt extremely uncomfortable when she felt Donoghue’s gaze on her. She wanted to turn around and leave.
However, she felt the grandness of the bedchamber and the intense aura from Donoghue’s body. She knew that
she could only lower her head and bore through that silently.
“Master Darby.”
Donoghue smiled and looked at Florian. “You are Lord Kenny’s celebrated official. Weren’t you doing well with him?
Why did you come here?”
Donoghue was wise and intelligent. When he saw the state of their dressing, he knew that they were not there on
official court matters.
Sigh!
Florian smiled bitterly before he recounted his story. When he was done with that, he said sincerely, “I have
nowhere to go, Your Majesty, so I could only come here. I would be extremely grateful and loyal to you, Your
Majesty, if you agree to take us under your protection.”
“Sure, that’s great.” Donoghue nodded. Then, he chuckled and said, “Master Darby, you are a great talent; how
could I not want you?”
Then, Donoghue gave his orders to a eunuch. “Arrange a place for Master Darby. I will bestow a title upon him on
my enthronement day.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Florian was elated and immediately kowtowed to give his thanks.
Yumi was calm, but she felt conflicted.
“Oh, right!”
Donoghue suddenly thought of something. His eyes landed on Yumi. He laughed and said, “I heard that your wife
has been helpful to you, Master Darby. I have a problem, and I wonder if your wife would be willing to help me?”
Swoosh!
Yumi trembled. She felt nervous.
‘What does Donoghue want this time?’
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFlorian did not know about the grudge between his wife and Donoghue. He did not even need to think before he
said, “Sure! Why won’t she? Please tell us, Your Majesty.”
“It’s nothing too big.” Donoghue smiled and said, “I’m sure you knew that I captured Susan, Darryl’s godmother. I
have been giving her chances to help me lure Darryl here. However, she has been uncooperative.”
Then, Donoghue looked at Yumi and said, “I wish for Yumi to stay in the palace to help me persuade her. Is that
alright?”
“I—”
Yumi bit her lips. She wanted to refuse him, but she was interrupted by Florian.
“No problem!” Florian slapped his chest. “Your Majesty, don’t worry. Please leave it to my wife. She will not
disappoint you.”
Florian looked confident. His wife was so smart; she would definitely be able to handle that.
However, Florian did not realize that Yumi had trembled in anger.
She was livid.
Why did she marry such a loser?! Donoghue only said that as an excuse for her to stay in the palace so he could
take advantage of her.
