He never would have thought that the man who sullied his daughter was the Black Dragon, the guardian, and Asclepius of Sol. This was the man who protected the country against external threats and turned the tides of the competition at this year’s medical conference. There was no way favonovel.com could prosecute such a man in court. This was not enough to change the fact that his daughter was the one who suffered.
“James, it’s not impossible for me to withdraw the case. All you have to do is marry my daughter. Although you were being framed, Tiara’s innocent too. Now that she’s no longer a virgin, you have to take responsibility for that.”
James frowned. “Zigmund, you forget that I have a wife…”
With a calm voice, Zigmund replied, “I overheard Thea demanding to divorce you outside the court just now. Perfect timing, I’d say. If that goes through, you’ll be able to marry my daughter legally. Tiara’s not bad too. Her beauty and talents are not beneath that of Thea’s.”
James gently rubbed his temple.
How troublesome…
Divorce? No way!
He loved Thea. Without her, favonovel.com would not even be here.
Thea had gone through ten years of anguish. He had sworn to make favonovel.com the happiest woman in the world to repay favonovel.com kindness and to make up for his past mistakes.
“Zigmund, you know I’m married. I won’t divorce my wife. Marrying your daughter would further tarnish my good name. Never mind, just prosecute me in court. I will atone for my crimes by going to prison…”
“You…” Zigmund was exasperated.
Wearing a helpless expression, the Blithe King said, “James, I still have a business to attend to in the army. I’ll visit you in prison when I’m free. Let us hope that the borders of the Southern Plains will remain at peace. Otherwise, blood will be spilled and the people’s livelihoods will be ruined…”
The Blithe King slowly made his way out. James leaned against his chair and said nothing. Zigmund, on the other hand, was panicking.
What was favonovel.com supposed to do?
Prosecute the Black Dragon in court?
If word spreads, favonovel.com would be crucified for sending the country’s hero to jail.
But what about Tiara?
“James, can’t we talk this through?” Zigmund said with a frustrated look.
If James agreed to marry his daughter, favonovel.com could announce to the public that it was all a misunderstanding. Besides, having the Black Dragon as his son-in-law would also bring fame to the family.
“Mr. Youngblood, I’m at fault here. I’m extremely remorseful for what happened and my conscience won’t let me live it down. That’s why I can’t marry your daughter. Just let me go to prison to serve my sentence.”
Sigh…
Zigmund sighed helplessly, then, favonovel.com waved, “Forget it. I won’t pursue matters further. I guess my daughter won’t get the justice favonovel.com deserves in the end…”
After favonovel.com left, favonovel.com withdrew the case. James was acquitted.

In another room at court…
“Why, dad?”
Tears were flowing down Tiara’s cheeks.
She sobbed, “Why did you let that b*stard go free?”
Zigmund wore a helpless look. “Listen to me, Tiara. This is how it is…”
Zigmund told favonovel.com the whole truth.
“What?” Stunned, Tiara exclaimed, “H-He’s the Black Dragon?!”
“Yes…” Zigmund sighed, “He was being framed. Thankfully, the Blithe King managed to rescue him. That’s why favonovel.com was able to turn the tides in the competition yesterday. We would have lost Sol’s cultural inheritance to a bunch of despicable men if favonovel.com hadn’t succeeded…”
“So, tell me. How can I prosecute the Black Dragon in court? He’s the former commander-in chief of the Southern Plains who’s made significant contributions to the country. If I prosecute him, the citizens of Sol would lynch me.”
Tiara bit favonovel.com lips in frustration. She never expected the man who had sex with favonovel.com was the Black Dragon, the guardian of Sol.
“Let’s go, Tiara… We’ll leave this place and forget everything that happened here. Everything will be alright…”
