Leo's gaze became meaningful; a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
After pondering for a long time, he looked at Lydia seriously and asked, "Are you really going back?"
Lydia nodded vigorously with guilt in her eyes. "I know that doesn't seem smart. I can ignore what's happening in Valenham, but I can't ask Marie to do that, too. That would be unfair to her..."
"I understand that Valenham is not only her home, but also yours."
Leo uttered his point of view before Lydia finished speaking. He looked at Lydia with gentle eyes.
"Just go back. I'll go with you."
As much as Lydia was moved by what Leo just said, she shook her head and said, "I can't put you in danger."
Lydia's answer was within Leo's expectation, but his gaze on her became milder.
Valenham is the center of Country X. The social classes were complicated, and young men with incredible family backgrounds could be found everywhere. Lydia's family was at the top of all the wealthy families, namely the loyal family in Valenham.
Those people were the real dominators. They controlled all walks of life of the city, and those who dared to disobey them would end up dead.
Kate Lawson got so much public attention just because she was inextricably linked with the loyalties. Lydia would naturally be more respected because she was Princess Royal.
However, for some reason, Lydia broke from her family and renounced them. She later got married to Leo and gave birth to Emilia, which had hit her family's bottom line. They didn't allow Lydia to marry such a humble man.
Emilia was regarded as a "bastard" by them.
When Leo went to Valenham this time, her family would definitely not show Leo any mercy. They might even go after Emilia. Lydia didn't want a tragedy to happen.
However, Leo smiled and said, "How can I not go? You're my wife no matter what. If you're going to travel far away, how could I not be going with you?"
"Leo... please don't..."
"You're going to Valenham alone... how can I be reassured? Emilia wouldn't let you go that, either.
"
The smile on Leo's face faded away. He looked serious.
There was murderous intention gathering between his brows.
Lydia shuddered and looked at Leo in disbelief.
As she looked at him, her eyes turned red.
What Leo said was true. Lydia would be in great danger if she went to Valenham alone. Leo will be worried, and Emilia would hate to part with her mother.
However, Lydia didn't have a choice. She couldn't bring Leo and Emilia with her, because she wanted to do her best to protect this hard-won home. Thinking of that, she had become more determined.
Nevertheless, what Leo said next shook her determined mind.
"Tell me, what would those people do to you if you went back to Valenham alone?" Leo's face turned gloomy.
Lydia stayed silent for a while and shook her head. "I don't know. They may force me to remarry someone else."
"That's right. They'll force you to remarry, and do you think I will allow that to happen?"
There was intense murderous intent in Leo's eyes, "That was why I have to go. Although they are your family, they would become my enemy if they depart us."
"I know your family is powerful, and their influence reached every corner in this country. What I've known about them is no more than the tip of an iceberg, but will I give in to them and let you remarry just because they are powerful? That's impossible."
Leo's eyes looked determined. He said passionately, "I won't give in to them... I'll let them give in to me."
"I will go to Valenham with you, and we'll take our daughter with us. If they want to depart us, I'll visit them with you, and prove they are wrong. No one gets to lay a finger on you and Emilia as long as I'm with you!"
These words sounded extremely arrogant, given how powerful Lydia's family was.
Lydia was speechless in shock. She stared at him in a daze.
