Monica was in a state of chaos, and she shook her head instinctively. "That won't do. The Honorable Archfiend is in danger, and I can't return to the Dragon King Island…"
An unreadable expression appeared on Forsythe's face as he replied, "We won't be able to change much if we return now. The Wishing Star Tower doesn't only have the Heaven Watcher's soldiers, but also people from the Flower Mountain, Eternal Palace, and the Hidden Hero Sect."
As he spoke, Forsythe gazed at Morticia's face. He could not help himself when he saw her beautiful features and added, "Don't worry, Empress. I'll spend the rest of my life chasing after you and protecting you…"
As the final word rang through the air, Forsythe held Morticia closely as he moved his lips toward hers.
Forsythe's heart was quivering then.
Morticia was not only his Empress but also the woman he loved and respected the most.
Forsythe had been deeply charmed by Morticia the second he saw her. The woman was not only breathtaking but also incredibly strong. She was far too powerful, so Forsythe had always kept his affection to himself.
When he discovered that Morticia was one of the ten Fiend Martyrs, he was further discouraged from furthering his affections. Since Antigonus came to the Sea Dragon Palace and Morticia had given up her position, her status had swiftly plummeted.
Morticia had been isolated in the cabin in the past few days, which made Forsythe realize that the incredibly strong woman actually had a soft core.
When Forsythe held Morticia earlier, he inhaled the waft of her fragrance and could no longer hold back. He did not even care that Morticia and Darryl had a child together.
To Forsythe, he was willing to do or give up anything it took for Morticia to accept his love.
"You…"
Morticia's body trembled at the sight of Forsythe coming closer and closer, and her jumbled thoughts cleared up in an instant. Humiliation and rage washed over her like a wave as she wrenched herself out of Forsythe's arms, roaring loudly, "How dare you?!"
