Chapter 285: Longing to See Him
“You’re right, I do know that. I’m not in love with her, though. If that’s what you’re worried about, then you don’t need to worry about it anymore. I won’t do anything to disturb your relationship with her, and of course, as your brother, I’m willing to do anything that I can to support you. Just let me know what you want me to do,” Leonard said calmly.
“You’re crazy...” Florian muttered as he shook his head from side to side in disbelief.
“If I wanted to make a move on her, I would have a long time ago. Unfortunately, I’ve had ample opportunities to do so. As for Regina, I’ve already told her that I only see her as a sister and a friend,” Leonard explained truthfully.
“Poor Regina. I feel so bad for her. She really shouldn’t have fallen in love with you,” Florian said with evident disappointment.
“I agree. I truly feel the same way. Her father’s also just using her and her feelings to get what he wants. Well, you’ve already mated with her so she’s yours now. Regina is from a very good bloodline, there should be a high chance that she’ll bear an Ultimate Alpha,” Leonard said like it really wasn’t his problem.
“That’s not what I’m worried about...” Florian quickly corrected.
“Have you changed your mind already? You don’t want to be king anymore? If that’s the case, before you can drop out, you need to help me convince Darius to take over as the next king first or this nation will go to ruin,” Leonard said followed by a small laugh.
“Wow! You know, sometimes I’m simply amazed at how dumb you can be when it comes to these things. Anyways, I guess it works in my favor if you have absolutely no interest in her,” Florian said as he raised his eyebrows in disbelief.
Although it was Leonard who wanted to leave the room first, he found himself staring after his younger brother as Florian quickly made his way out of the room. A slightly confused look crossed Leonard’s face before he shrugged his shoulders slightly and flexed his neck to the side in a careless stretch. It didn’t matter much to him what Florian wanted as long as his brother was following the rules of the palace. Leonard heaved a sigh when he thought that everyone is going through their own set of problems in life as he made his way to the door.
