Cordelia was rendered speechless. “I said us!

“Not just to me and you. He’s also nice to Neil and even Aurelia!

“Before I got to know him, I thought that all the royals were high and mighty. Alexander changed my view. He’s down to earth.

“Darling, why do you think that’s the case?”

Why? His love for a person extended to people around that person!

Alexander was only looking out for the group around Cordelia because of her! Hah, an unexpected romantic!

Zephyr took a deep breath. His fingers on the cutlery clenched, his knuckles turning white. There was no change in his expression, though, only rolling currents underneath his calm eyes.

“Maybe he wants to get the Irwins on his side.” He smiled. “The Irwins are significant in Southeast Aciatic and are relatives to the Harrises. Getting you on his side gives him a higher chance of inheriting the throne.”

“Then why does Victoria—”

“This is where Alexander’s brilliant!” Zephyr looked aloof. “Victoria’s arrogant and domineering, but he’s easy to approach. Think about it. What king do the people of Southeast Aciatic hope to have?

Cordelia pursed her lips and stayed silent.

“So, stay behind me next time.” Zephyr smirked as he hugged her in his arms, saying next to her ear in his deep and husky voice, “I’ll protect you.”

He added, “Actually, I quite admire Prince Alexander. Even if he resorts to whatever he can do for the throne, it can’t be helped. This is his way of survival. We should understand him.”

Cordelia nodded seriously and looked up to smile at him.
