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?!"
Slap!
Whew…
Sensing Morticia's rage, Forsythe's expression was nothing but remorseful. Yet he took a deep breath, speaking in a serious tone. "Please calm down, Your Highness. I know I was acting out of hand, and I'm no match for someone like you, but in the state you're in, it's undeniable that you need a man by your side to care for you. All you need to do is say the word, Your Highness, and I'll be yours."
As he spoke, Forsythe's expression was unreadable as he continued.
"Also, haven't you noticed that the Honorable Archfiend no longer trusts you after you had Darryl Darby's baby? He's only sparing your life because you're still Fiend folk, but what about after that? No one will know for sure.
"I think the fact that he's stuck in the Wishing Star Tower right now might not be a bad thing. We can also return to the Dragon King Island to rest and recharge, and we'll wait until the Archfiend and the Godly Region soldiers are both heavily wounded to return and pick up the pieces.
"You're the only one for me, Your Highness. I want nothing more than to be the man by your side, helping you into the highest position in the Fiend race."
Just then, Forsythe grew increasingly overwhelmed as he spoke, letting out all the words he had kept to himself once and for all.
