Chapter 277 (2): The Heavenly Father is an Ancient God
“I can’t go into the process in detail. It has something to do with the dragon blood curse. You’re still young and don’t have to make the choice, but Master has reached her limit. She will face her curse at any time. After discussing it with Auston, I’ve decided to make some changes to the Princess. If that succeeds, Master will be safe.”
Wayne continued, “Auston told me to do it as soon as possible, but I disagreed. The Princess’s call saved you and Master, so I’ll only do it when I’m certain that she’ll survive.”
Veronica deflated, grumbling, “It’s always like this with you. When I’m angry, you’ll talk about your contribution to the family. Are you doing this on purpose?”
Yes, I’m manipulating you!
“Of course not. There are secrets I won’t tell you because I don’t want you to become black-hearted. I’m protecting you.”
“So you’re saying that I’m being unreasonable?”
“No. It was my mistake for not telling you and causing the misunderstanding. You were just worried about me.”
“Hmph!”
Veronica stepped aside and let him pass, warning him not to do something strange to the Princess. He would be dead if she found out.
“You’re a member of the Tulip Families at the end of the day,” Wayne commented in exasperation. “But when you heard that the Princess was going to be imprisoned, your first thought wasn’t to save her, but to make sure that your fiancé wouldn’t suffer a loss. That’s so loyal of you.”
The same could be said about Auston. It turned out that not only was the Ministry of Magic a den of fence-sitters, but the Tulip Families weren’t any better, either.
How pitiful the Queen was. Auston was even her first love!
