Chapter 224 Is That Okay?

Laila’s POV:

I looked at Shane. Shane simply smiled and raised an eyebrow at me.

“Everything is up to you, Laila,” he said slowly.

“He’s protecting you. He’s showing his support for you through his actions, Laila!” Nita shouted in my mind.

I realized it too.

My tears almost spilled out.

Who was Shane?

He was someone even King Vaughn respected. For a person like him to publicly show support and protection for me on such an occasion, what did that represent?

It meant that I was not standing alone.

Behind me stood Shane. Behind me stood Moonlight Academy.

Clearly, Beta Caleb and the noble ladies around us understood it as well.

When they looked at me again, their expressions had grown noticeably more respectful.

Soon after, they came forward one after another, politely asking if they could purchase a painting. They all said they would only take one. After all, Shane’s paintings were priceless and extremely difficult to obtain, and no one could really afford too many of them.

I steadied my emotions and accepted Shane’s gesture of support.

“Since everyone likes Shane’s paintings so much, if I say I won’t sell any, you’ll probably end up complaining about me behind my back.”

“Never, never,” Beta Drogo said with a laugh. Then he raised his voice and said loudly, “Even if you refused to sell them, no one would dare complain about our General Conlay. Whoever dares to complain, I’ll be the first to deal with them.”

The moment he said that, the expressions of many of the noble ladies changed slightly.

Beta Drogo was one of the Alpha King’s closest confidants.

:

In many situations, his words represented the Alpha King’s intentions.

“So King Vaughn also appreciates Laila, doesn’t he?”

“Damn it, we need to take Laila seriously. We can’t underestimate her anymore.”

“Is it too late to start being friendly with her now?”

Whispers began spreading quietly among the crowd.

I pretended not to hear any of it.

“Laila, I won’t ask for much. Just this one painting. Would that be all right?”

King Vaughn suddenly looked at me and pointed at a painting of distant mountains.

I immediately replied, “Your Majesty, if you like it, please take it. I can’t possibly accept money from you.”

King Vaughn shook his head. “No. I want to buy it myself. I won’t accept it as a gift. If you give it to me for free, wouldn’t you feel obligated to give one to Mr. Merona as well? And if you give one to Mr. Merona, would you not also give one to Drogo? Once you give it to Drogo, will you give one to everyone else too? That would never end.”

When he said that, everyone laughed. As they laughed, several people quickly said, “We will buy ours. Your Majesty can accept it as a gift.”

“You can afford to buy them. Do you think I can’t?” King Vaughn said with a smile before turning to me again. “Tell me, how much is this mountain painting?”

I hesitated for a moment and glanced at Shane. When I saw him give a subtle nod, I smiled. “Then I’ll make it a friendly gesture. One thousand for each painting. If any of you like one, you are welcome to buy it.”

“One thousand? That’s so cheap?”

“Oh my goodness, we’re getting an incredible deal! Outside of here, you couldn’t buy one for less than 100,000!”

The entire hall instantly erupted in excitement. Some people were so thrilled they even screamed.

Suddenly, an elderly voice shouted from the crowd. “Hey, hey! Mr. Merona, don’t fight me for this one. I want these three paintings. Stop pushing me. I’m about to fall over. I’m falling. Let
