Chapter 349

If Malik hadn’t moved fast enough, Leon would’ve kicked his ass right out of there.

Thankfully, Malik bolted out of there in a flash.

Leon stood there, lost in thought.

She didn’t want to be Queen, because once her husband became King, all the people of Novigrad would inevitably pressure him to take concubines and

establish a harem.

If he refused, the woman he loved would be condemned by history as the ultimate villain.

The overwhelming pressure from all sides would suffocate her. She’d never want a life like that. What terrified him most was that she might just walk away in the end, leaving him to deal with this royal mess alone.

How could her man be anything less than the most formidable in the world?

How could he ever satisfy her if he were not the strongest?

Leon was deeply conflicted.

With Garbisch occupied caring for Elsie, the duty of escorting Malik out of Capitalia fell to Jessica.

On one hand, Malik knew better than to overstep boundaries with Leon’s woman. On the other hand, after the grenade assassination attempt, he didn’t want his entourage drawing too much attention.

So Malik simply had Jessica and the Royal Guard escort his entourage to the city gates, then hastily bid farewell and sent Jessica back.

Left with no choice, Garbisch could only bring Elsie to the Yates House to recuperate.

Monica said, “They say that before Prince Malik left, he asked the King to have Garbisch look after Princess Elsie. Oh, and he also mentioned that our Yates family has a master of medicinal arts.”

What “master of medicinal arts“? Leanna was clearly a poison expert, yet somehow she had been inexplicably transformed into a miracle doctor curing

all sorts of ailments.

Monica could only sigh in resignation.

Though “miracle doctor” sounded more respectable than “poison master,” after Leanna moved into the Yates House, Monica often assisted Jessica with deliveries to her quarters. Using these opportunities to discreetly observe how Leanna was adjusting to life in the mansion, Monica gradually came to understand her better.

Leanna was never one for crowds. Outwardly, she seemed cheerful, but in truth, her heart had died with Dayton six years ago.

Leanna’s newfound fame was no blessing to her.

Jessica said, “It’s all my fault. Just to give Prince Leon a pretext to stay at the Yates House, I ended up dragging Leanna into this mess.”

Nowadays, everyone used Leanna’s name as the perfect excuse to visit Yates House as they pleased.

Who could tell what calamity this might bring upon Leanna in days to come?

After settling all affairs, Jessica went to Luminous Pavilion, where Leanna resided.

Leanna sat quietly at her easel, lost in her painting.

At the sight of the figure in the painting, Jessica felt her heart clench painfully once again.
