Chapter 132 - Won’t Let It Slip Away

The sudden appearance of Lady Fionia left Ian genuinely perplexed.

‘Why is she here?’

The royal palace where he resided strictly prohibited outsiders from entering.

This was a measure taken by King Eloin for Ian’s safety.

‘How did she manage to pass through when the knights wouldn’t even let the First Princess through?’

It was then.

“Lady Fionia, you may not enter!”

The Blood Lion Knights hurriedly ran behind her.

Ian smiled wryly.

‘I thought she got permission.’

It seemed she hadn’t received permission to enter after all.

“Stop right there!”

The Blood Lion Knights soon blocked her path.

“His Majesty has ordered not to let anyone in.”

Despite the knight’s stern expression, Lady Fionia remained unfazed.

Instead, she glanced past the knight to where Ian was.

“I’m glad to see you unharmed.”

“!”

Everyone, including Ian, flinched at Fionia’s words.

In particular, Duke Lavaltor, who was unable to tell his only daughter whether her would-be fiancé was alive or not, was visibly shaken.

‘This girl. No wonder the way she looked at the Seventh Prince in Labadom was unusual.’

The duke looked as if he had no idea she would come this far.

But that wasn’t what mattered now.

Even though she was Duke Lavaltor’s daughter, disobeying the king’s order to come here was a sin.

As the duke was wondering what to do.

“It’s alright. Return to your post.”

Everyone’s eyes turned to Ian at his words.

The knight then spoke up, confusion apparent on his face.

“Your Highness Prince Ian, His Majesty has ordered that nobody should…”

“She is not just anybody. She may become my betrothed.”

“!”

The knight was momentarily stunned.

Unlike when it was with the First Princess, it was ambiguous whether they could stop her as she was here because her betrothed was injured.
