Chapter 2097: Wrist Cutting

That night.

East Palace.

This was Joyce's second visit to the East Palace, but her mindset was entirely different from the first time.

The palace's internal affairs office sent a car to take them to the entrance of the East Palace.

Reuben went to prepare the escort ship for their departure the next evening and did not accompany them.

Hajime ordered the internal affairs office to draft documents and arrange for the announcement of the succession. By this time, Clint and the palace's troops had driven out all of the Yoshikawa family's guards from Eastern Capital. The curfew remained in effect, and street inspections were strict, but all patrols and armored vehicles had been replaced by Tanaka family personnel.

When Joyce got out of the car, she turned and hugged Luther. "Wait for me here. I'll come out as soon as it's over."

Luther nodded. "Of course, I'll wait for you."

Joyce turned to leave the car.

Suddenly, Luther pulled her back into his arms and kissed her gently.

The kiss was not filled with desire, only reluctance.

Joyce returned his kiss.

The professional agent from the internal affairs office was driving, and Darrin sat in the front passenger seat. He knew what was happening in the back but just looked out the window. He had been in Rohomes for some time and was mentally prepared not to return. But now that he could go back tomorrow, he felt excited. Moreover, Grizela, who had changed her name to Sitou Grizela, would go back with him, making him even more eager.

Luther ended the gentle kiss with another peck on Joyce's lips.

"Remember, nothing and no one can separate us. I will always love you," he said.

Joyce understood and nodded.

As she got out of the car, Darrin solemnly said, "Young Marshal, rest assured, I will protect Mr. Warner."
