“He managed to steal her away, but not only did he run off with her himself, he even betrayed

us.”

What a bad choice of friends, Gaellard thought as he complained about Jim.

Andre listened to Gaellard complain about Jim but said nothing.

Then, Gaellard raised his hand and patted Andre on the shoulder.

“So, are you going to try it or not? Disguise yourself as a guard and sneak in like those guys?”

Andre shook his head and replied, “No.”

Gaellard looked at Andre’s blank expression and ground his teeth in frustration. He wondered how Andre couldn’t be anxious at all. After all, it was obvious that he wanted to see Emma, too, yet he acted as if he didn’t care at all.

omeone like that can sneak in, how could my looks and strength possibly be inferior to his? As he spoke, he glanced at Andre, who still had his eyes closed. Then, he provoked the latter, “You can just sit here and act like a lovesick statue. When I get in and become Emma’s personal guard, don’t be jealous when I get to hang around her all day.”

With that, Gaellard didn’t wait for a response and turned to leave.

Hearing his footsteps fade away, Andre slowly opened his eyes. A trace of mockery flashed quickly across his gaze before returning to calmness.

He had already figured out whether Leonard had snuck in or had been deliberately let in, so he doubted Gaellard would figure it out either. He was certain that Gaellard was just tired of waiting and wanted to do something.

In the afternoon, sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting shadows over the garden on the west side of the castle.

Emma walked in with Marcus, who was carrying a basket beside her.

She had come to pick flowers to make fragrances.

“Marcus, is there any flower you especially like? Pick one, and I’ll make it into a fragrance for you.”

Marcus glanced over the flowers in the garden and leaned lazily against Emma, saying, “As long as it’s made by you, I like it.”

She knew he would say that, so she replied, “I’ll choose it myself then.”

As Emma turned her head after speaking, she noticed someone crouching near a flowerbed not far ahead.

It was a young man in a black guard uniform.

ed he had been working there for quite some time since several strands of his black were damp and clinging to his forehead, softening his originally cold and sharp aura.

earing footsteps, Leonard snapped his head toward Emma. When their eyes met, he hurriedly sprang to his feet as if startled.

Since he stood up too quickly, he stumbled slightly and nearly stepped on the flowerpot behind him.

He hastily wiped his hands on his clothes, seemingly trying to clean off the dirt. Only then did he lower his head properly, revealing a slender neck. His voice was low, carrying a trace of deliberately suppressed tremor, obedient to an almost excessive degree.

“Ms. Emma Tibarn, h–hello.”

That timid, well–behaved demeanor made him look exactly like an inexperienced boy who had just entered the city, afraid of making mistakes and being punished.

Looking at him, Emma raised an eyebrow.

This must be Leonard whom Lucien mentioned. If he was acting, then his acting skills are truly impressive.

Behind Emma, Marcus lazily swept his gaze over Leonard. The corner of his lips curled into a mocking smile, but he didn’t expose the latter. Instead, he casually played with a flower branch

Emma didn’t expose Leonard’s clumsy act on the spot either. Instead, she acted as if she were truly seeing him for the first time, as a trace of confusion appeared in her eyes.

Tilting her head slightly, she looked him up and down and asked knowingly, “Judging by your clothes, you must be one of the castle guards, right? Why aren’t you on patrol? Why are you trimming exotic plants instead?”

Leonard pursed his lips together nervously, maintaining his submissive, lowered posture. Then, he explained in a low voice, “Old Mr. Veynar, the one who usually takes care of this garden, is not feeling well today. I just arrived, and the captain hasn’t assigned me any patrol duties yet. Since I have nothing to do and knew how to trim these exotic plants before, I thought I’d come help.”
