The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 1492

“This…” Darryl paused as he saw Asher was filled with anticipation. “Actually, I’m Princess Long’s husband.”

Honestly, Darryl did not want to tell Asher the truth, but he had pulled out from the competition because of him. He had to repay the favor. He would look terrible if he continued to hide his identity.

Most importantly, Darryl could feel that Asher was a man with honor and good principles. Asher would never reveal his secret.

Asher was stunned when he heard that. He then took a cold breath!

The next second, Asher’s body trembled, and he was about to bow!

The South Cloud Empress had announced Princess Long’s engagement with the Prince Consort earlier. Everyone in the entire South Cloud World heard about it!

Quincy’s position in the South Cloud World was only second to the Empress. She was above everyone except the Empress, and her Prince Consort would also be highly respected.

Darryl was quick to stop Asher. “Don’t bow. There’s a reason why I’m hiding my identity. Do you understand?”

“Understood, understood!” Asher nodded repeatedly and replied with respect, “Don’t worry, Prince Consort. I won’t tell anyone.”

At that moment, Asher was extremely excited. ‘Ha-ha, I helped the Princess’ Consort. Saint Sea Sect’s standing in the South Cloud World community will reach another higher level with this relationship.’

After chatting for a while, Asher bid farewell to Darryl and left happily.

Asher stepped out of the inn to return to his own place. He packed and left to return to South Cloud World.

However, Asher did not notice that a few royal soldiers were following him.

Florian had sent the soldiers.

Meanwhile, Darryl rested for a while in the inn before heading to the literary competition venue early!

‘I’ve made it to the top five of the martial arts competition. If I can make it to the top four in the literary competition this evening, I’ll be able to take part in tomorrow’s grand finals.’

Darryl was confident as he entered the venue.

Everyone who was observing the competition squeezed their brows and was discussing softly. Although the nine continents had been in communication with each other for a long time, the ancient items were not made common knowledge. Therefore, there were only a limited number of people that knew about these puzzles.

At that moment, Florian walked out to read the rules and regulations.

“The competition today is simple. Eight of you will be split into groups of two and tasked to solve the burr puzzle. Whoever solves the puzzle the fastest will move on to the next round, while the loser will be eliminated.”

After he read out the rules, the participants were split into groups.

‘Sh*t!’ Darryl, who was relaxed, was now stunned.

He was in the same group as Parker.

At that moment, Parker’s body trembled and felt bitter in her heart.

‘How did I end up in the same group as Luca?’
