Chapter 1386: Chapter 757: Kindness Chapter 1386: Chapter 757: Kindness The Princess merely pinched the center of her brows, not looking his way, as if immersed in her own world, oblivious to everything around her.
Logan’s lips quivered slightly, seemingly conflicted, unsure of whether to voice his thoughts. But, in the end, he couldn’t hold back and spoke out, “You didn’t have to go to such lengths for me, Princess. I’m just a commoner, unqualified for such sacrifices.”
The Princess’s movements halted briefly, her fingers trembling slightly, but they quickly recovered to normal, and her expression remained as calm as still water, as if what had transpired were merely an illusion. She slowly raised her head and looked at Logan, a glint of determination in her eyes, “It’s nothing. You are my lifesaver, a bond I will forever remember. Consider it repaying the favor I owe you; don’t overthink it.”
Her face retained its usual pride and aloofness, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, as if unaffected by emotions, instilling an inexplicable sense of reassurance in Logan. Yet, he knew that the Princess was enduring much, preferring not to show it.
Seeing this, Logan didn’t know what to say and merely sighed. He understood her nature had always been thus–stubborn, proud, yet filled with a sense of justice and responsibility. For his sake, she had not hesitated to confront a Noble Family’s Descendant head-on. How could he not be moved by such loyalty?
“Princess, you really didn’t need to…” Logan tried to add more, but was interrupted by the Princess.
“Logan, stop speaking,” the Princess said with a low voice yet an undeniable finality, “I’ve decided to act this way for my reasons. You don’t need to thank me or feel guilty. We’re equals here; you’ve saved me, and I’ve saved you. Now we’re even.”
After speaking, the Princess turned and left, leaving Logan standing alone, his heart filled with mixed emotions. Watching her receding figure, a sense of melancholy welled up inside him. He knew the Princess still possessed the same character–stubborn, proud, but also brimming with warmth and care. He silently swore to improve himself so that one day he could properly repay her kindness.
“It’s one thing for the Princess to step in this time, but next time it won’t be necessary,” Logan said, his expression resolute and his tone laced with undeniable decisiveness, “I’m not joking, I have the confidence to face those people, even the Aristocratic Families behind them. I don’t want the Princess to make enemies with the Aristocratic Families because of me, as it benefits you not.”
Hearing this, the Princess felt an inexplicable irritation stirring within her. Her brows knitted together, she retorted sharply, “And making enemies with these Noble Families benefits you? Do you think you can handle everything alone? Hmph, don’t be naive!”
Logan choked on his words, not expecting the Princess to counter him so directly, momentarily at a loss for words. He stared at her, wondering to himself when she had become so eloquent.
“Princess, I am but a loner, if I make enemies, at worst I can just leave this place, who could do anything to me?” Logan took a deep breath, striving to keep his tone calm, though he couldn’t hide the stubbornness in his eyes.
The Princess found him immovable, growing even more irritated upon hearing his words. She pursed her lips impatiently, arms crossed, her tone laced with sarcasm, “Hmph, you always have your own way, no matter what trouble you stir up, you seem to handle it. But Logan, the Aristocratic Families are not what you imagine; they have deep roots and immense power, you can’t easily oppose them alone.”
Hearing this, Logan furrowed his brows. He was well aware of the strength of the Aristocratic Families, but he refused to put the Princess at risk for his sake. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, “Princess, I know you mean well, but I have my own pride and principles. I can’t always rely on you for protection; I have to learn to face everything on my own.”
