Chapter 1188
Lord Protector Novel
Princess Lia said, âHeâs a young man. I donât know his name, but heâs very skilled with acupuncture and helped treat my snake bite.â
Uncle Ares frowned. âAnything else?â
Princess Lia shook her head. âThatâs all I know.â
Ares didnât know whether to laugh or cry.
There were plenty of young men who were skilled with acupuncture in Eurasia.
Where was he supposed to find Princess Liaâs specific guy?
It was going to be harder than finding a needle in a haystack.
Just as Ares was racking his brain trying to find a solution for the princess, the Thistleton family noticed another issue.
The fact that Princess Lia was willing to come to Ares and ask for his help in finding him showed how interested she was in this young man.
Could Princess Lia have fallen in love at first sight?
If so, whoâs the lucky man?
Clydeâs face soured with jealousy.
Ares asked, âPrincess Lia, do you remember what he looked like?â
She shook her head. âHe had a veil over half his face. I could only make out his eyes clearly. They were deep yet full of life and shone with determination.â
She might as well have said ânoâ.
Ares continued, âAlright, then. Iâll send some people out to look for this man. Princess Lia, Iâm glad to have you visit. Youâre truly an esteemed guest of Eurasia. Everyone! Go prepare the celebrations to welcome Princess Liaâs arrival.â
Princess Lia hurriedly shook her head. âNo, thereâs no need for that. Iâve been rushing around all day.
Iâd like to rest for now.â
âAlright, then weâll celebrate at night instead. You, take her to the guest room,â Ares instructed the butler.
Before the butler could act on Aresâ instruction, however, Clyde volunteered, âFather, Iâd like to be the one to take Princess Lia to her room.â
Ares nodded. âOkay.â
Obviously, he knew of his sonâs true intentions.
But he also knew full well that despite Clydeâs sufficient looks and determination, he didnât have enough power for Princess Lia to ever be interested in him.
Clyde excitedly directed Princess Lia to her room.
Upon reaching, the princess merely walked into the room, expressed her gratitude, and swiftly closed the door.
She knew if she didnât end the conversation quickly, Clyde would have taken the opportunity to annoy her all day.
Seeing her indifferent treatment toward him, Clyde frowned unhappily.
If Princess Lia really found her nameless hero, his chance at courting her would be gone completely.
No! I canât just give up on the chance of becoming the king of Atlantis.
Didnât Princess Lia say that she wasnât able to see that manâs face?
So, thereâs no reason why I canât be that nameless hero...
With that wily idea in his mind, Clyde ran to his room and started looking for a black face veil.
Princess Lia sat by the window and looked at the beautiful scenery outside. Her emotions were in disarray.
Why didnât I reach out to take off his veil when I have the chance? I could have at least caught sight of his face if I did. And I wouldnât have to go off of plain guesswork now.
Just as she was deep in her thoughts, a knock sounded on her door.
A maid had arrived with her favorite green bean pastry.
Princess Lia took a bite of the pastry and found that it was tasteless.
All she could think about was that nameless heroâs deep gaze.
Princess Lia felt lost and confused. Not knowing what to do, she simply leaned on the windowsill and continued looking at the scenery.
She had never felt such longing for someone before.
Is this what love feels like?
Have I fallen in love at first sight with a man from Eurasia?
Right as she started falling into deep thought, a figure flashed past her window.
As the figure flitted past, it glanced right at her.
Princess Lia instantly started blushing as her heartbeat quickened.
Was that him?
It looked like him.
That gaze looked exactly like my nameless hero!
That had to be him!
So, turns out I didnât come to Eurasia for nothing after all!
She hurriedly ran out of her room.
The figure was indeed Zeke himself, who was coming to fetch Lacey home from the Thistleton manor after he finished his job for the day.
