Lord Protector Novel

Princess Lia said, “He’s a young man. I don’t know his name, but he’s very skilled with acupuncture and helped treat my snake bite.”

Uncle Ares frowned. “Anything else?”

Princess Lia shook her head. “That’s all I know.”

Ares didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

There were plenty of young men who were skilled with acupuncture in Eurasia.

Where was he supposed to find Princess Lia’s specific guy?

It was going to be harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

Just as Ares was racking his brain trying to find a solution for the princess, the Thistleton family noticed another issue.

The fact that Princess Lia was willing to come to Ares and ask for his help in finding him showed how interested she was in this young man.

Could Princess Lia have fallen in love at first sight?

If so, who’s the lucky man?

Clyde’s face soured with jealousy.

Ares asked, “Princess Lia, do you remember what he looked like?”

She shook her head. “He had a veil over half his face. I could only make out his eyes clearly. They were deep yet full of life and shone with determination.”

She might as well have said ‘no’.

Ares continued, “Alright, then. I’ll send some people out to look for this man. Princess Lia, I’m glad to have you visit. You’re truly an esteemed guest of Eurasia. Everyone! Go prepare the celebrations to welcome Princess Lia’s arrival.”

Princess Lia hurriedly shook her head. “No, there’s no need for that. I’ve been rushing around all day. I’d like to rest for now.”

“Alright, then we’ll celebrate at night instead. You, take her to the guest room,” Ares instructed the butler.

Before the butler could act on Ares’ instruction, however, Clyde volunteered, “Father, I’d like to be the one to take Princess Lia to her room.”

Ares nodded. “Okay.”

Obviously, he knew of his son’s true intentions.

But he also knew full well that despite Clyde’s sufficient looks and determination, he didn’t have enough power for Princess Lia to ever be interested in him.

Clyde excitedly directed Princess Lia to her room.

Upon reaching, the princess merely walked into the room, expressed her gratitude, and swiftly closed the door.

She knew if she didn’t end the conversation quickly, Clyde would have taken the opportunity to annoy her all day.

Seeing her indifferent treatment toward him, Clyde frowned unhappily.

If Princess Lia really found her nameless hero, his chance at courting her would be gone completely.

No! I can’t just give up on the chance of becoming the king of Atlantis.

Didn’t Princess Lia say that she wasn’t able to see that man’s face?

So, there’s no reason why I can’t be that nameless hero...

With that wily idea in his mind, Clyde ran to his room and started looking for a black face veil.

Princess Lia sat by the window and looked at the beautiful scenery outside. Her emotions were in disarray.

Why didn’t I reach out to take off his veil when I have the chance? I could have at least caught sight of his face if I did. And I wouldn’t have to go off of plain guesswork now.

Just as she was deep in her thoughts, a knock sounded on her door.

A maid had arrived with her favorite green bean pastry.

Princess Lia took a bite of the pastry and found that it was tasteless.
