Grace raised her eyebrow and said, "Weren't you avoiding me because of your sister? Why are you willing to help me now?"
Leon Zane sighed and said, "I just think... true feelings are precious."
Grace nodded and smiled at him, "Alright, then I'll trouble you! Young Lord Drake."
"Tonight—hey? What did you just call me?"
"Young Lord Drake! Isn't that what the elders call you?"
"It's Young Lord! I'm the dignified Young Lord of the Azure Dragon Clan! Why does it sound like I'm some concubine in the harem when you say it... calling me 'little lord!'"
"Oh... fine, Young 'Lord.'" Grace said. "Thanks then!"
Just then, Raina Zane came over, calling out from afar, "Brother! What are you doing here?"
When Grace heard the word 'Brother' and saw how Raina's brows resembled Leon's, she instantly knew who it was. She quickly said to Leon, "Just say you were asking someone for directions. I'm leaving!"
With that, she dashed away as if fleeing.
Raina Zane walked over and asked, "Who was she? Could she be... Chloe Zhu?"
"No, no, I just asked someone for directions, but she didn't know either."
Raina knew her brother too well and noticed something was off, so she said, "His Highness asked me to come find you. Go inside!"
"Alright, let's go in together!"
"It's so boring inside. I don't want to just sit there! I'll wander around and take a look instead!"
"Okay, but don't wander off too far!"
"Relax! I'm not a three-year-old."
With that, Leon Zane went inside.
Raina Zane immediately chased after Grace in the direction she had just left.
Grace kept walking toward her own residence.
As for Evan Xiao's admirers, she really didn't want to get involved anymore.
Especially if they're like Bianca Whiteshire—she couldn't handle that!
And with her connection to Leon Zane, it's better to avoid trouble if she can!
But as she was running, she realized Raina Zane was actually following her!
Grace turned a corner into a winding path, hoping to use the flowers and trees as cover to escape, but ended up bumping right into Bobby.
He was carrying a box of wine in his arms.
"Bobby! Help me out," Grace said.
"What do you need?"
Grace whispered in his ear, "There's a pretty girl in a rose-red dress chasing me—block her for me." With that, she dashed off.
Sam Yuan was still wondering where this pretty girl in a rose-red dress was—and then, sure enough, one appeared, chasing after him.
He immediately lowered his head, pretending not to see her, and bumped right into her.
Clang! The box of wine crashed to the ground, breaking several bottles.
"Ah! I'm so sorry!" Raina Zane hurriedly apologized.
Sam Yuan put on an angry face and looked up at her.
But when he looked at her, his eyes froze in surprise.
If every man has a vague dream girl, this woman was the very image brought to life.
Porcelain skin, lively eyes, and dimples at the corners of her mouth—she was utterly enchanting.
She looked like a budding red lotus, like a peach blossom ready to burst with color...
"Why are you staring at me?" The girl noticed his gaze, blushing as she scolded him.
"Oh, miss, you broke my wine," Bobby said.
"It's just a few bottles! What, do you want me to pay for them?"
"You'll need to come with me to see our Alliance Leader, otherwise I can't explain this."
