Darryl smiled, but he did not respond.
Quincy was in a fit of anger.
Then, Quincy thought of something, and her eyes burned in a rage. She stared at Darryl. “It’s that young general
just now, isn’t it? He seems to be the New World Prince, and I heard that he is your biological son. Is that why you
let him go?”
“That’s right!”
Darryl did not avoid the question. He nodded and admitted to it. He felt extremely bitter when he responded.
His son had treated him like an enemy. As a father, he felt woeful.
Quincy chuckled; her delicate face showed an unruly contemptuous look. She mocked him. “Your own son is against
you. Darryl, you have truly failed in your life.”
Darryl was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, “Your Highness, let’s not talk about this. I’ve successfully

Oh…
Quincy’s lips quivered when she was prompted; her face flushed embarrassingly.
‘What do I do now?’
She thought that Darryl was only a rascal who could never oppose Yang Jian’s invasion. She did not expect that he
would manage to do that. He even deployed an impressive formation that surprised the crowd.
‘But there are so many people here, and Darryl’s conditions were too bizarre. How can I agree with him?’
Quincy was reluctant to honor the bet—she was not willing to serve Darryl.
All the officials had their eyes focused on Quincy as if they anticipated what would happen next.
The princess had lost the bet with Darryl. Would she honor the bet?
“Sister.”
The Empress smiled and said to Quincy, “You are a princess; you must be responsible for your words and actions.
You have to honor your words after you lose a bet. Besides, Darryl is your Prince Consort, and you should be
serving him.”
The Empress was disappointed when she heard that Darryl had lost the throne to Westrington, and she questioned
herself for arranging the marriage between Quincy and Darryl.
However, Darryl had impressed her again when he led the South Cloud generals and soldiers to resist Yang Jian’s
invasion.
The Empress had decided that the arranged marriage between Darryl and Quincy must not be called off. On the
contrary, she should retain such a talented person.
“I—”
Quincy bit her lips when she heard the Empress’ comment. She felt dispirited, but she did not know how to refute it.
The next second, Quincy approached Darryl and whispered, “Darryl, I’m sorry. I have offended you earlier. I was
wrong; please don’t take it to heart.”

Darryl looked relaxed as he smiled at Quincy. “Who said that I was a failure in my life? I was also told not to step
into the South Cloud World again for the rest of my life.”
“I was wrong. I was very wrong.” Quincy bit her lips so tightly that it almost bled.
“Forget it!”
Darryl smiled and said, “How would I dare to put any blame on Your Highness? But, what should you call me?”
Darryl moved closer to her deliberately; his eyes flickered as he teased Quincy.
“Hubby,” Quincy bit her lips as she whispered.
Quincy blushed.
She thought that after Darryl had lost the Westrington throne, the Empress would see through him and let her call
off the marriage. However, she did not expect that the man would win the Empress’ trust again after he defended
their continent against the North Moana Army. It seemed like she was fated to call Darryl her hubby; she blushed
when she did that.
