Chapter 641

Nathaniel’s hand, holding the hot tea, paused momentarily. His eyes were hidden underneath his long lashes, making it hard to gauge his emotions,

Sheena pretended not to notice his visibly displeased expression and continued probing, “In Proania, you’re the fourth son of the Nicholls family, a wealthy and influential clan. What status do you have here? Why should I believe you can really get Clear for me?!

Nathaniel calmly took a sip of tea, set down the cup, and then replied, “It’s true that I have no significant standing here, but my mom is the current king’s only sister.”

Sheena was taken aback, not expecting him to be so straightforward.

He continued, “You just arrived and don’t understand the situation in Laubabwe. My mom holds an imposing position as the current king’s sister. As she didn’t raise me all these years, she felt guilty, and she promised me one request. Getting my hands on Clear is simply too easy for me.”

Sheena thoughtfully processed this information, commenting, “So, your mom didn’t return to Froania with your dad because she’s the royal princess, and she couldn’t leave?”

Nathaniel’s expression grew increasingly serious as he spoke of Kelly, replying, “No, it’s because she was already engaged at that time.”

Sheena remarked, “If that’s the case, your mom has likely been married for years, perhaps with children of her own. While she can make promises to you, her current husband might not easily agree, right?”

Nathaniel’s face darkened completely. “I confessed my background to you because you’ll eventually marry me, and I wanted to be honest between us. But if you’re trying to get to the bottom of this and sow discord, there’s no need to continue this topic.”

Sheena was surprised.
