Chapter 1190

“Bastien, you should count your blessings that my 'daughter' loves you and is willing to plead for mercy on your behalf.” Spreading his hands, King continued with a smile, “Once I become the king of Loang, you will be my 'son-in-law' and continue to enjoy the privilege and luxury you have grown accustomed to.
