After everyone had entered, the two “statues” suddenly came to life, pounding their chests and cursing.
“What’s this all about? We came all this way, and they won’t let us in?”
“What’s so special about this lousy palace? Even if they invited me, I wouldn’t go inside!”
“This place is a dump… I need to take pictures. I—”
The palace guards swiftly surrounded them, not touching the two women but giving them cold stares. They held
long spears with gleaming blades under the sunlight.
Violet instantly felt intimidated, while Heidi, fearing trouble, quickly handed over her phone.
The guards glanced at Violet and confiscated her phone as well.
Both of them were denied entry to any of the palaces and were left standing in the open square, exposed to the
scorching sun. A group of guards surrounded them.
Gia stood nearby, wearing a dark expression. She recalled the man’s words—”Do you know who the man beside
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLina is?
“Zuko, the eldest heir of the Hamertons of Centrolis. He’s currently out of the city!
“Heh, her adoptive parents dote on her, and the eldest Hamerton heir spoils her too! Tell me, why is Lina so lucky?”
Gia’s fingertips trembled.
She had heard that the Hamertons of Centrolis had a marriage alliance with the Irwins Southeast Aciatic. If her
guess was correct, Zuko had orchestrated everything that had happened today.
A sinister glint flashed in Gia’s eyes as she tightly clenched her fists!
Yes, the man’s words were right… If she didn’t take care of Lina soon, it wouldn’t just be a ticking time bomb for
Melvin. It wouldn’t benefit her either!
“Lina, don’t blame me.” She gritted her teeth with each word. “You forced my hand… It’s your own doing!”
When Lina returned to the hotel in the evening, she had her usual video call with Zuko. So much had happened
today, and it was so thrilling that she was still exhilarated.
“Zeke, the king turned out to be so warm and hospitable. The arrangements were incredibly thoughtful!”
“Oh, you’re referring to the people he sent to pick you up?” Zuko smiled. “In my analysis, visiting the palace is a
significant event, so the number of people and the guest list must be well-matched. It’s crucial for security
reasons.”
“Mr. Remus mentioned the same thing,” Lina said, looking at him. “But experiencing it personally feels so surreal…
Hehe, it’s the first time I’ve ever felt like a princess!”
Zuko said, “In that case, I’ll make you feel like a princess every day from now on, alright?”
Lina blushed and shyly smiled at him.
Zuko whispered, “I suggest you take a hot bath to calm down. You seem so excited that you might have trouble
sleeping tonight!”
“If I can’t sleep, will you keep me company?”
“I will definitely keep you company, but you have your studies tomorrow, so it’s important to get a good night’s

Lina pouted, but her dimples were still visible.
Zuko always lectured her seriously, making her feel like she didn’t just find a boyfriend but a young father.
His voice carried a hint of amusement. “Lina, it seems like you want me to accompany you in everything now?”
“Huh?”
“You just said I should accompany you if you can’t sleep.”
“So what? Is that not allowed?”
“Of course, it’s allowed.” Zuko continued with a “serious” tone. “If you want me to keep you company when you
can’t sleep, then should I also join you when you take a bath?”
“You…”
Lina didn’t even have a chance to blush before she saw him entering the bathroom, holding the corner of his shirt
and slowly lifting it…
He smirked at the camera. “Lina, I’ll… take a bath with you.”
