Chapter 1384: Chapter 756: Endorsement Chapter 1384: Chapter 756: Endorsement After hearing this, the descendants of the noble family were startled and greatly surprised. They never expected the Princess to speak such decisive words. They knew that her words were not without basis; given her identity and status, she indeed had the power to inflict heavy losses on their aristocratic family.
At that moment, the atmosphere at the scene became extremely tense. The descendants of the noble family looked at each other, uncertain of what to do. However, the Princess stood there, her gaze firm as she looked at them, as if waiting for their response.
After a long while, one senior disciple slowly began to speak: “Princess, we did not intend any offense. But this matter concerns the honor and blood feud of our aristocratic family, we simply cannot let it go. We ask for Your Highness’s understanding of our difficulty.”
Upon hearing this, the Princess slightly furrowed her brows. She knew that the grudge between noble families was not easily resolved. But she also understood that she couldn’t just give up on Logan. Thus, she took a deep breath and slowly said, “I am aware of your difficulties, but Logan is my life-saving benefactor, and I must protect him at all costs. The grievances between your families, I may disregard, but not Logan, you absolutely cannot take him away!”
Among them was one person, dressed in splendid attire and with a stern face, evidently holding a significant status within the aristocracy. He felt utterly baffled by the Princess insisting on protecting Logan, his heart filled with doubts like surging waves, unable to restrain himself any longer, he couldn’t help but remonstrate: “Princess, why must you protect this commoner? What virtues and abilities does this person have that make the Princess intervene on his behalf? I see that this person is arrogant and does not hold anyone in regard, clearly a troublemaker. Princess, being of noble birth, must not be deceived by his superficial guise.”
His words were earnest, his tone full of concern, obviously genuinely considering the Princess’s best interest, worried that she might be misled by Logan’s appearance. However, his words touched a raw nerve, reminding the Princess of her humiliating past engagement, a deep scar engraved on her heart, stinging with humiliation and embarrassment whenever mentioned.
The Princess’s complexion turned crimson in an instant, as if scorched by fire, a flash of anger in her eyes as she forcefully slammed the armrest beside her, making a “snap” sound. She immediately rebuked, “Presumptuous! Since when is it your place to meddle in my affairs? Whether I choose to protect or abandon someone is my prerogative, what concern is it of yours? How dare you scrutinize my royal intent, such impudence is beyond belief!”
The Princess’s voice was loud and firm, filled with undeniable authority. She stood up, her posture tall and sturdy like an inviolable mountain, imposing a tremendous pressure on everyone present.
Seeing this, the noble family’s descendant who remonstrated was startled and immediately fell to his knees, repeatedly saying, “Princess, please calm your anger, I misspoke, please forgive me.” His voice trembled, evidently intimidated by the Princess’s majesty.
However, the Princess did not intend to let him off easily; she coldly glanced at him and said, “Hmph, do you think a mere slip of the tongue settles the matter? I shall tell you today, my decisions are not to be questioned. Regarding Logan, I have made up my mind, whoever dares to speak another word, do not blame me for being rude!”
Speaking thus, the Princess’s gaze swept over everyone present, as if imprinting their faces deep into her memory. Her momentum was overwhelming, causing an unprecedented pressure among all those present, who dared not voice any dissent.
The descendants of the noble family looked at each other, their eyes flickering with hesitation and unease. They were well aware of the Princess’s authority and power, and understood that the current situation was not in their favor. However, the grudge between Logan and their family was too deep, making it difficult for them to let go.
After a moment of silence, a descendant of the noble family dressed in blue robes was the first to bow with folded hands, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness and reverence: “I dare not.” His gesture seemed like a signal, as other descendants also followed suit, bowing and saying together, “I dare not.”
