Chapter 4079
Leia was glad the White Tiger King agreed and she returned to her seat after nodding. She peeked at Darryl from time to time, showing timidness and charm.
'That..." Darryl was speechless and he rejected the offer.
After saying one word, the White Tiger King went up to him and patted his shoulder. "Darryl, Your Excellency, it's been decided. Leia is virtuous and attentive. The warriors and I can rest easy knowing she is taking care of you."
Darryl had no choice but to agree and nodded. Meanwhile, Oliver, who was standing outside the castle, was furious.
’How did that happen? How could Leia volunteer to stay back and take care of Darryl. No. That can't happen,' he thought.
The banquet went on for another hour and finally ended. After everyone left the castle, the White Tiger King made a swift decision and gathered the demons to prepare for their journey while Leia brought Darryl to the cave in the northwest.
Before leaving for the cave, Leia returned to the stone chamber where Darryl rested to pack his things. In fact, Darryl only had a few belongings and there was not much to pack, so she would be done quickly. 2
At that moment, Leia was excited and anxious. She was excited that she would get to spend time alone with Darryl before his injuries were fully recovered. However, she was anxious whether an important man like Darryl would like her.
As she wondered, Leia rushed towards the location to meet Darryl. She did not want him to wait for too long as his injuries had not fully recovered.
At a corner, Leia paused and looked impatient. She saw Oliver standing with a perplexed look on his face and it seemed that he had been waiting.
After being frozen for two seconds, Leia snapped out of it and said coldly to Oliver, ’ Oliver, what are you up to this time?"
Initially, she considered Oliver as a friend, but she was angry at Oliver's disrespect towards Darryl in the stone castle and started to dislike him.
Oliver was emotional and glared at Leia. "Leia, why did you choose to stay back to take care of Darryl? Didn't you say that you didn't like him?'
Leia sighed and said, "Does that have anything to do with you?"
'Oliver is out of his mind. I really don't wish to speak to him any longer,' she thought.
Feeling the cold, Oliver trembled and said affectionately, 'Leia, can't you tell? I like you! When we were in captivity, I was already attracted to you. I want you to be mine. I..."
As he spoke, he became more and more emotional and moved closer to Leia.
Leia frowned and walked away from him while she said coldly to him," Okay, Oliver. Stop it. Even if you like me, we can't be together."
"Why?" Oliver was stunned and he had so many questions.
