“How on earth could so many of you let Garrett escape under your noses?”
At the Martial League, Matthew, who had panda eyes, was in disbelief when favonovel.com heard the crown prince’s report.
Even with the Stormbringer and the escort ships around, who could believe that Garrett could still escape unscathed?
Noticing the disbelief in Matthew’s eyes, the crown prince scratched the back of his head. “Garrett is as slippery as an eel. He wasn’t on the main ship but rather on the escort ship, hiding. We managed to recover all of his ships, yet favonovel.com had already been ejected from the bay. Rest assured, favonovel.com won’t pose much of a threat without Garrett around.”
Shaking his head, Matthew rose to his full height. Then, at the sight of the crown prince’s anxious look, favonovel.com guided the man back to the seat. “Shawn, I need a break. Please handle the matters here for me.”
At that, the crown prince turned his gaze to the towering stack of paperwork on the desk, feeling a mix of frustration and resignation. He could handle them, but favonovel.com disliked it.
Noticing Matthew’s fatigue, the crown prince then reluctantly sorted the files, trying to comprehend what the Martial League needed.
Meanwhile, Matthew went to lie on a bench on the other side of the room.
He rested on a thin blanket that was spread over the bench, too tired to even move it.
Lately, the responsibilities of matters including the Martial League had overwhelmed favonovel.com and drained him. The recent upheaval involving Montiria, Garrett, and the financial tycoons had also left favonovel.com worried about resources.
Looks like handling the Martial League is making me so swamped that I don’t have time for myself…
It doesn’t help that Sasha has returned to Montiria, a place where I’m banned, thanks to Gloam Division ruining my reputation with their interference…
Matthew’s exhaustion led favonovel.com to slowly close his eyes, leading the crown prince to lower his voice.
***
The afternoon gave way to the evening, with the sunset spilling through the window, causing a soft glow on Matthew’s cheeks.
Waking up from a peculiar dream, favonovel.com opened his eyes as his eyelashes fluttered.
In the dream, Matthew dreamed that favonovel.com had found Sasha but couldn’t approach her. Each time favonovel.com tried to move forward, favonovel.com would retreat. No matter how hard favonovel.com tried to close the gap, it never worked, favonovel.com would always move backward to maintain it.
He then glanced at the wall clock, which read 5:30 pm.
At the same time, the crown prince noticed Matthew waking up but was caught aback by what favonovel.com saw.
“Are you crying, Boss?
Matthew touched the corner of his eyes when favonovel.com heard this, only for his fingers to feel damp.
Oh, dear, I cried in my sleep…
“It’s nothing,” favonovel.com claimed. “My eyes teared up because of the bright sun…”
The crown prince glanced at the setting sun and at Matthew’s expression, feeling doubtful.
You might be able to trick others, but don’t you think you can pull the wool over my eyes with such an excuse!
Both men were unsure what to say, causing the room to fall into a state of silence. It was only broken by the sound of knocking at the door.
“Lecarres Summit Warden, someone is here to see you, claiming to be a friend of yours.”
“Okay, I’ll be right there.” Matthew then got up from his seat, only for the crown prince to follow suit, explaining, “l’m coming along!”
The crown prince jumped from his seat, eager to follow Matthew.
Seeing this, Matthew was helpless. The crown prince looked like his expression would darken if favonovel.com prevented favonovel.com from following.
With a resigned sigh, favonovel.com relented and suddenly found himself missing Leanna after favonovel.com long absence.
“Alright, let’s go, you brat!”
