You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 2037: East Palace

"Tell the attendant to bring the meal and place it at the door," Clint ordered. "You wait outside the hall."

"Yes," the attendant bowed respectfully and withdrew.

Joyce squinted and remarked, "So, you're Rohomes' crown prince, Clint. Is this... the palace?"

Clint shrugged lightly. "Yes, that's right. This is East Palace, my residence. Are you satisfied?"

Joyce tilted her head slightly and almost chuckled. "So, you're a crown prince. My apologies for not recognizing your status earlier. I had no idea that you, such a noble figure, would be working in my small company and living in the single dormitory downstairs. How did you endure such a great inconvenience, and what value or ability do I have that would compel someone of such noble status to approach me in this way? Should I feel honored or humiliated?"

Every word she spoke was laced with irony.

Though she didn't know how Clint had brought her from South Island to here, the truth was that he had succeeded. To the victor belong the spoils, and now she was a prisoner, a fact she understood very well. Clint could, of course, discern the sarcasm in her speech. He smiled and lowered his head. "No matter, I've had my fill of delicacies. It's nice to have a change of taste. I miss the days back in Khebury." "Haha, Clint, I was really careless. There were many details that should have alerted me to be cautious. You feigned amnesia and didn't remember your identity. But a person's habits are the hardest to change. You are picky when it comes to food and appreciate luxury. So, I was aware that you aren't an ordinary person. I just didn't expect you to be royalty."

Joyce sneered. "It turns out I wasn't mistaken. You do have a habit of driving on the right side. I should have noticed that earlier."

"Yes, you are the most perceptive woman I've ever met. It's not easy to deceive you."

With that, Clint coughed lightly and his face grew pale.

Joyce noticed. "Are you feeling unwell? From spending too much time in the seawater?"
