Clyde nodded. “Of course. You know how something happened at the company today and I had to miss the familial
commemoration to go settle it? On the way there, I met Princess Lia and saved her. When I was studying at Hilton
University, I majored in medicine, after all. Helping her get rid of the snake poison was no big feat for me.”
Clyde’s lie was absolutely seamless and logical that Ares believed it wholeheartedly.
Ares flashed a smile of relief. “Good job. It seemed like making you go into medicine was a good idea, after all. You
two should spend more time together. If you’re both okay with it, I’ll go to meet with the King of Atlantis myself and
request for the two of you to get married.”
“Thank you, father!”
Clyde was overjoyed and started thanking Ares zealously.
Ares personally went to invite Lacey and Zeke to tonight’s celebration.
For one, he wanted to improve the father-daughter relationship between him and Lacey.
Secondly, he wanted to show off the family’s power in order to make Lacey stay by his side.
Lacey had never joined such a celebration so she readily agreed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAres was an extremely important figure after all. Any celebration he held had to be a grand event.
The celebration was set to take place at seven in the evening.
Zeke and Lacey showed up at six thirty.
The grand hall of the Thistleton manor was already full when they arrived.
The crowd of Thistleton family members was eagerly waiting for the main characters of the day to show up.
Not only was Princess Lia’s appearance highly anticipated, but Clyde was also a main character for the night.
The Thistletons were looking forward to Clyde and Princess Lia getting married.
That way, the entire Thistleton family would have a chance to be in the spotlight as well.
Zeke listened to the crowd’s discussions before finally realizing that Clyde had pretended to be himself and fooled
Princess Lia into thinking that Clyde was her nameless hero.
Zeke smiled coldly.
Clyde won’t be able to keep up with this facade for long.
The snake venom in Princess Lia’s body hadn’t been completely cleared yet. It was only a matter of time she would
have a relapse from the venom.
Once that happened, Princess Lia would definitely want Clyde to heal her again.
And if Clyde failed to do so. He would definitely reveal himself as a fraud then.
When Lacey heard that the celebration was for the arrival of Atlantis’ princess, she was shocked.
“Gosh! I never imagined that I could have a meal with a princess. A princess, what a regal title!”
Zeke’s mouth twitched unhappily.
As the wife of the Great Marshal, you’re much more impressive than some princess. You don’t have to envy her.
Soon, the crowd finally sat down and the celebration started.
The waitresses, dressed in all kinds of gorgeous dresses paired with their beautiful features, served plate after plate
of delicacies to the guests.
The food was absolutely scrumptious. It was a fusion of both Western and Asian style cuisine, and every dish was
extremely well-made.
The waitresses spoke in Atlantean as they introduced the various dishes.
Princess Lia was barely listening. Her gaze was darting around distractedly.
She had been starving for a while now, but since it was a grand event, she felt it wasn’t appropriate to begin eating
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyet.
As she sat there with her stomach grumbling, her eyes coincidentally met with Zeke’s.
For a split second, her body jerked as if lightning had struck her.
She felt that Zeke’s gaze was horribly familiar.
It was as if a magical finger had strummed the chords of her heart.
His gaze... Isn’t that my nameless hero’s gaze?
But if he’s my hero, what about Clyde?
She glanced at Clyde again.
His gaze was unremarkable and there was nothing special about it. In fact, it looked a little cunning.
What’s going on?
“Have we met before?” Princess Lia interrupted the waitress introducing the dishes as she enquired Zeke.
The crowd looked in their direction at the sound of her voice.
Does Zeke know Princess Lia, too?
Zeke nodded. “Met? I saved your life.”
