Zeke had felt someone looking at him and took a quick glance in their direction only to find out that it was the girl he had saved before.

Why is she in the Thistleton manor?

Could she be one of Ares’ relatives?

That possibility doesn’t seem too far off.

Zeke didn’t really want to interact with the girl any further. He kept feeling as if the way the girl looked at him was rather strange.

It was almost as if she was in love with him.

Zeke didn’t want to bring on too many problems.

Lacey was all he needed.

With that thought, he quickened his pace and entered the back garden.

Soon after, Princess Lia also rushed into the back garden.

She had just walked into the garden when she saw her ‘nameless hero’.

However, what she didn’t know was that the ‘nameless hero’ she had met was not Zeke. Instead, it was Clyde pretending to be Zeke.


Princess Lia was overjoyed. She rushed forward and said, “My hero! I’ve finally found you!”

Clyde was simply ecstatic.

His plan had worked. He had managed to fool Princess Lia easily.

Clyde smiled. “Princess Lia. What a coincidence. We meet again.”

Princess Lia replied, “Yes, it must be fate. My hero, what are you doing at the Thistleton manor?”

Clyde replied, “Well that’s easy, I’m a Thistleton.”

What?

Princess Lia was taken aback. “W-which Thistleton are you?”

Clyde took off his veil carefully.

When she saw that it was Clyde under the veil, a flash of disappointment crossed her eyes.

She never would have imagined that the nameless hero she had been hopelessly pining over was someone she hated so much.

Still, whenever she thought of the determined gaze he had when he saved her, her heart skipped a beat.

With that, Princess Lia grudgingly accepted the fact that it was him.

“So it was you.”

Clyde said, “I wasn’t planning on revealing myself originally. I just wasn’t expecting to meet you here of all places.”

Princess Lia replied, “You sure keep a low profile. If I hadn’t happened to bump into you, I might have never...”

As she trailed off, her face started reddening again.

She calmed herself down and said, “What about this? I’ll treat you to a meal as a token of my gratitude. How’s that?”

Clyde replied, “As an esteemed guest and a girl, no less, how could I make you treat me to a meal? How about we have dinner together during the banquet my father will throw for you tonight? That will be more than enough to show your gratitude to me.”

Princess Lia nodded. “Alright, It’s a deal.”
