“Hahaha, how intriguing! You truly are an interesting and dangerous woman. Well, if I agree to your terms, what is it that you desire?”
A smile played on Lucinda’s lips, her gaze resolute and unwavering.
“ALL I desire is the super virus serum stored in the royal family’s warehouse!”
In the hallway, Sonny and Zakai seemed to get along quite well.
“Sir, don’t you find me ugly? Why don’t you scorn me? Why are you so willing to engage in conversation with me?”
Zakai examined Sonny’s face before responding earnestly, “Yes, you may be considered unattractive, but it is just the way you look, something beyond your control.”
Suppressing his laughter, Sonny found himself pleasantly surprised by such kind and honest words. He regarded the young man with a sense of awe.
Zakai went on, “Moreover, you have been chosen as Miss Simmons‘ which means must some bodyguard, you possess special qualities!”
“Special?”

Zakai found amusement in their conversation, and they chatted happily, creating a relaxed atmosphere.

Lucinda emerged with a serious expression. Sonny ceased his conversation with Zakai, sensing that something had gone awry.
With a sinking feeling in his heart, he asked in a hushed tone, “What happened? Did the Duke refuse?”
She shook her head.
But with the presence of other people around, she refrained from explaining further.
“Let’s go. Kyson must be searching for me by now.”
Seeing her serious face, Sonny knew that something bad must have happened, but he didn’t speak further.
When Lucinda got back to the banquet hall, Kyson was just walking out of the Royal Princess’ lounge.
Seeing Lucinda sitting alone in a corner of the banquet hall, holding a glass of juice with no one daring to approach her, Kyson felt a wave of relief wash over him.
“Lucinda.”
He greeted her with a smile as he approached. Leaning in closer, he whispered, “Mother is about to publicly announce our wedding date and have us take the stage together. But don’t worry. You just need to stand by my side obediently.”
Lucinda remained silent, devoid of any visible emotion.
