Chapter 1970
The atmosphere at the table immediately became tense 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 I admire." While chewing on his plump crab claw,
he continued, "The only person my age whom I admire is Matthew. He saved my life, and I respect him,
so this is a lifetime of gratitude. If Master Levi is displeased with our relationship, my mom and I can
estrange ourselves from him. However, if Matthew is in danger, I, 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 Spider 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 Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
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.
"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. I
hope that you guys understand that there are some things you should and shouldn't listen to." Content

"Yes, Master Levi. I'll leave and relay your orders!"
