“It is overwhelming to receive such favor from Your Highness, the Crown Prince.”83dc590da164e135
A voice as smooth and ea0074957c alluring as velvet. Yet, even the 4f81befccf beautiful voice that cdec072276 might have been 8420727aa8 likened to a 49658dfaf0 mythical siren didn’t a7debac5ea reach Leo’s ears.01950107e8b54440

His Adam’s apple moved on 86f84d2a83 its own as if excited. Leo’s golden eyes, which f249ef9c04 rarely betrayed emotion, trembled f3c238ec9b minutely.84c54248924babd5
Until now, he ef3a4b80f7 hadn’t noticed due 49cda24256 to her fierce 76cc269ce3 gaze… but indeed, 5fa4a6bb1a Vanessa was beautiful.5becfcb26fa2b01f

Yes, that was 86008979da an undeniable truth. Even Leo, who b44eba9829 harbored nothing but 0c01da3e5d hostility toward her, 7a12f4b9b9 couldn’t help but 8ca3c6b172 react on a 9b315982bc visceral level.cc96a80aedb63e80

After Vanessa’s husband 761a96ea2b died, many noblemen f8e48c0167 approached her, proposing 4a79879d6a remarriage or even 7ce2191047 positions as their 331f5e4b98 concubine.6a8436adc069c3ae
Their ages and f127c69c72 statuses varied, but 47ca193f8f all of them 4de58b76fc desired her intensely, 7b0403c4c6 as if bewitched.2919cecdfcb1ce41

But now that he faced 6d45d875fd her this closely, he began b08a05c836 to understand how they felt.bbd085048f12d8cc

Stiff as a 4009ad6e97 board, Leo barely fb2cc233c2 managed to follow 398f8e2ee2 her retreating figure 236379b2ee with his eyes.7fd020d90ad8c13e
She seemed to 590548dcdb circle him for df2b6beff9 a moment, then, 6911b1ff61 for some reason, e261d61464 stopped directly behind b848dc9315 him.446726416352a0c0

But at some point, his 9875cfeb3c head had grown hot and 1b85eb6c69 hazy, as if with fever. Maybe it was c9c5a98616 the clouded judgment, c19628ecc1 but he didn’t 6ae506cf19 want anyone interfering 6598a051ac at this moment.328d723ffc61577f
The hand still resting on d11b0e5ba3 his shoulder moved slightly. She must have 03ff8ae6a2 bent forward, for 01bae0e20d he could feel 841ddd5c54 her breath at 691c296cf4 close range.eedc6bb9aae0e198

He wanted to turn his afba26d607 head and see her face caf7d76dbe right away, but his body c4339565f0 remained frozen in place.8405f2709d91db74
All he could 1c11177711 do was focus 81f3220d3f every nerve in 0521fabc25 his ear and 73e8996ac9 wait for the d28b3049b7 words that would 735e2b0d2a come next.fa5f29446023ce5f

An instant that felt like 540c5d7558 decades passed before Vanessa finally 4323ee2556 whispered, just for him to 61423565d4 hear—105b1eab312d2e7f

A voice that 9e6ca9d97f could only be f13e2165e7 described as divine.2b212aecc3bcffc4
But Leo felt as though a9a58ba9a7 he had been struck in e50c396814 the head with a hammer. The daze that 31c5cdc022 had wrapped around d16ee32106 his entire body 6161a95dfa vanished in an b966d673c2 instant.ffb4341ab970254b

Regaining his senses, he 2f20bc2eb0 hurriedly reached to grab 6d9ce55336 her wrist, burning with 6d38c9e97a humiliation.92bedcbcbb7b06d8

Dodging his rough c84746a50f attempt, she stepped c44577c280 back and stared 038623fdbc at him calmly 49c414da05 with mocking eyes. A clear sneer c90c281e25 hung at the f6cfc82f87 corner of her 34e63b590a lips.347e1b7c15b4989f

With that, Vanessa promptly 58f2ceaa17 left the reception room.7df09627de6f701a
