Chapter 1191
Lord Protector Novel
Princess Lia became very emotional as she exclaimed, âIt was you?â
âYou... you were the Nameless hero who saved me?â
âBut... Clyde said he was the one who saved me.â
âWhat is going on?â
What?
Every member of the Thisleton family felt puzzled.
They looked back and forth at Zeke and Clyde.
Clyde felt guilty.
He had not expected that the real Nameless hero would turn out to be Zeke.
However, at this moment, he could not admit that he was the fake.
Thus, he tried to use reason to weasel his way out of the mess, âPrincess Lia, donât listen to his nonsense.â
âZeke, you say that youâre the Nameless hero. So, where is your black veil?â
âI know for a fact that you do not habitually wear a black veil.â
Princess Lia turned her gaze upon Zeke.
Zeke replied casually, âI threw it away.â
He had only worn the black veil because he did not want the traitor, Zoda Wood to recognize him.
Since the plan had succeeded, it was only natural that he threw the black veil away.
Pfft!
A youth from the Thisleton family could not help but sniggered, âPrincess Lia, I would like to confess, actually I was the one who saved you.â
âAs for my black veil, Iâve also thrown it away.â
Everyone in the Thisleton family roared with laughter and made fun of Zeke.
So far, in the Thisleton family, only Ares and Julian Thisleton knew that Zeke was The Great Marshal.
The others havenât the slightest inkling about Zekeâs identity.
That was the sole reason why they dared to mock Zeke without restraint.
Clyde sneered, âPrincess Lia, this man is unscrupulous and he would use any means to get what he wants so you should just ignore him.â
âIn order to win your trust, not only would he pretend to be the Nameless hero, but he would also even go as far as killing me.
Princess Lia gasped, âNow that sounds a bit far-fetched.â
âIsnât he a member of the Thisleton family? It seems impossible for someone to do such a thing to their own family member.â
Clyde asked, âWhy not?â
âMy elder brother, Julian is the perfect example.â
He stretched out his hand and pointed at Julian, âIn actuality, Zeke is Thisleton familyâs son-in-law .â
âIn order to help his wife attain the position of the familyâs heir, he went as far as to break all four limbs of the familyâs eldest son.â
Looking at Julian in the wheelchair, Princess Lia gasped audibly.
âDid you really do this?â Princess Lia asked as she turned to look at Zeke.
Zeke nodded his head.
He felt that it was pointless to explain everything to Princess Lia.
She does not deserve an explanation from me.
A look of sorrow appeared on Princess Liaâs face.
âI have never imagined that such a vicious person could exist in this world.â
âUncle Ares, I do not wish to eat at the same table with such a person.â
Princess Lia came from a wealthy family and she had seen her own elder brother die in a family feud.
Hence, she despised feuds that happen between wealthy family members.
Ares felt like he was caught in a difficult situation. âPrincess Lia, in reality, things might not be what they seem.â
âThere are some complications about this matter. Iâll explain it to you later.â
Princess Lia was not pleased.
No matter what the complications are, it is wrong of Zeke to injure a family member.
At that point, her impression of Zeke was already in the negative.
Zeke did not feel inclined to stay here any longer.
He knew that princesses like these are used to being pampered and all of them have a superiority complex.
They would always make judgements based solely on their intuition.
Zeke could not be bothered to be treated as such.
If it werenât for the sake of maintaining the peace, Zeke would have given her a slap across the face that would send her flying.
âLacey, letâs go.â Zeke said to Lacey.
âOkay!â
Lacey agreed immediately.
She was worried that Zeke would offend the princess should they continue to stay.
Before they could leave, however, Clyde said nonchalantly, âYou lied to Princess Lia, and thatâs considered treason.â
âDo you really think you can walk away just like that? How laughable.â
Zeke asked, âWhat else do you want?â
Clyde approached Zeke slowly, âYou must receive slaps to your mouth as punishment.â
