Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband Chapter 806
Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband
Chapter 806 Nemesis Nearly instantly, Veronicaâs gaze toward Eleanor became defensive.
The princess had stunning exotic features, to begin withâjust a little makeup would already make her a bombshell. Her beauty was one of sexy yet not sultry, as her every action reflected her confidence and sophistication in her beauty.
Even Veronica had to admit that she paled slightly next to Eleanor despite believing she was beautiful as well.
âNo clue. Do you need him for something, Your Highness?â Veronica snubbed Liamâs apology automatically and put all her attention on Eleanor instead.
âNot really. I just thought I could spar with him, seeing that heâs a pretty skilled fighter,â the princess answered indifferently.
Aside, Dominik shook his head with a helpless smile as he explained, âPlease donât mind Eleanor, Miss Murphy. She has always been like this. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, you see, so she loves to spar with others.â
âHey, I was apologizing to you!â Liam shot Veronica an exasperated glare.
When had he, the remarkable prince of the hidden clan, ever been snubbed like this?!
Still, Veronica didnât want to hold on to that issue, so she said, âYou didnât mean it anyway, so letâs just leave it in the past.â
With that, she turned to the other two, âDo you have anything else? If not, Iâm going back in.â
âAre you not going to invite us in for some tea?â Eleanor hurriedly spoke up, seeing that Veronica had actually turned around. âIs this how you Destorians treat your guests?â
The reason the siblings had come was that Eleanor wanted to see Matthew, so it was only normal that she felt indignant when she was already asked to leave after only standing at the gates for a while.
âWhy youââ Mateo, not one happy to see the siblings, wanted to turn them away when Crayson came out of the house.
âPlease forgive their rudeness, Your Highnesses. We are most certainly honored that youâd visit us,â
said Crayson with a smile as he strode over.
âWho are you?â Liam asked contemptuously because he genuinely didnât know who Crayson was.
Instead, it was Dominik who nodded a greeting. âYou must be the legendary Master Waylen Elrod, arenât you?â
Back when the Elrod Clan still reigned over the hidden clan decades ago, Waylen had served as the chief minister, a position equivalent to a nationâs prime minister.
What was more, because he excelled in governing and assisted the former head of the clan in leading the nation to prosperity, he became revered by many.
âIâve heard so much about you, Master Waylen. What an honor it is to meet you,â greeted Eleanor with a slight nod.
Though both regarded the other party as a nemesis, window dressing still had to be done. After all, the Ledger Clan claimed to tolerate the Elrods in public, so they would spare the latter even if they were the formerly hidden clan monarchy.
âTo think Your Highnesses still remember this old man. Hahaha,â Crayson guffawed, then shot a disapproving glance at Veronica. âWhat happened to your manners? Why didnât you invite Their Highnesses inside? Do you want people to criticize me for being discourteous?â
âItâs all me. Roni has nothing to do with this.â Mateo defended Veronica, probably because he didnât like seeing Crayson reprimand her.
âAlright, enough. Please come in.â Crayson invited the Ledger siblings inside and then led them to the living room.
As everyone took their seats on the couch, the servants went to get refreshments.
Just then, Matthew came out from the kitchen wearing an apron. It seemed that he was working away in the kitchen a second ago.
âIron!â Eleanorâs eyes lit up at once. âWhat is this that youâre doing?â
