Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 1970

The atmosphere at the table immediately became tense after Layna spoke those words.

As the crown prince of Mightwater, though he had a carefree and open-minded character, it did not mean he was a fool.

Any intelligent person would agree to Layna's request because Levi was their greatest support when compared to his buddy. Even the crown prince's uncle, Phoenix, was merely a general in Levi's troop.

The crown prince looked at his mom and turned to Layna before shrugging his shoulders helplessly and continuing to devour his crab claw.

"In all the years I've lived, there aren't many people I admire." While chewing on his plump crab claw, he continued, "The only person my age whom I admire is Matthew. He saved my life, and I respect him, so this is a lifetime of gratitude. If Master Levi is displeased with our relationship, my mom and I can estrange ourselves from him. However, if Matthew is in danger, I, the crown prince, will not stand around and watch him get harmed. Hmm! As expected from a fresh crab caught in the sea. This is delicious!"

After speaking, he did not look up from his food and continued enjoying the delectable seafood. His answer was crystal clear; regardless of his relationship with Matthew, he would continue to protect him.

Meanwhile, Poison Spider did not have much of a reaction to her son's answer because she had always been unconditionally supportive of her son's decisions. Yet, when she saw Layna's darkened expression, she hurriedly reprimanded, "You brat, how could you speak to your god-grandmother that way?"

She slapped the back of the crown prince's head before turning to Layna and explaining, "Godmother, don't take a kid's words to heart. He's young and loves those delusive, illusive things like heroes and their loyalty to each other. I'm sure he'll understand what you mean after he grows older."

With that, Layna understood what she was implying. Since she did not deny her son's choice, it meant that she was on her son's side.

After a moment's silence, Layna nodded her head. Now that she had the answer, she no longer needed to pretend. "So, it seems you two are loyal and righteous people. Alright, then. I'll drop the act."

After having said that, she smiled again and informed, "I kept a black box in a safety deposit. Prince, would you mind helping me get it out?"
