Chapter 208: To the Capital City
Grand Duke Rivas listened to Irene’s story, and it left him shocked. He truly felt that the heavens had aided his daughter’s escape. However, the repeated mention of a man named Aldrian only deepened his curiosity. Who was this man who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and left so many people astonished? Yet, more than that, he was also irked by seeing his daughter speak about this man with a smile that could captivate any man. He had never seen her talk about another man with such an expression before.
"Don’t tell me, Irene has already been captivated by that man?"
As he reached that conclusion, his heart ached. Even though that man had saved his daughter, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something precious had been taken from him.
"Dammit! Who the hell is he?! How dare he captivate my daughter?" he thought, clutching his chest as if in pain before turning to Irene.
"So, where is this man? I want to meet him," he demanded.
"I don’t know. He just disappeared after saving me. It’s a pity I only know his name. I can only hope we meet him again in the future—he was my savior, after all," she said with a radiant smile.
"No!" Grand Duke Rivas thought, his heart sinking as he saw his daughter smiling like a lovestruck woman. He truly felt as if something had been stolen from him.
Suddenly, a guard’s voice echoed from outside the tent.
"My lord, we have news that the person who saved Lady Irene was spotted in the southern part of town."
Hearing the report, Grand Duke Rivas immediately stood up and strode outside, while Irene simply smiled.
"Where is he? I want to see him!" he demanded, though his tone sounded more irked than excited about meeting his daughter’s savior, leaving the guard confused.
