Chapter 451: Chapter 226: Let Me See the Magnanimity of Those Who Want to Kill My Prince Consort (Double-Length) (Part 2)

Then, she regretted it.

When she saw Shiayar’s vigilant face as he subtly shielded the blonde girl beside him...

God knows how complicated Augutina’s feelings were at that moment.

Why did she feel an uncontrollable urge to tease Shiayar?

Why was the girl he instinctively protected without a second thought not herself?

After experiencing that feeling once, she never wanted to taste it again.

"That time, huh?"

Enola also showed a reminiscent expression.

She recalled that day, the somewhat unpleasant meeting in the Dark Night Garden.

"Back then, both Shiayar and I were too immature, not mature enough."

"If our immaturity at that time caused us to offend Her Highness Augustina in any way..."

The blonde girl showed a polite smile.

"Then please allow me to apologize to Miss Augustina on behalf of Shiayar."

She lifted her skirt and performed a graceful noble curtsy towards Augutina.

"That’s not necessary."

Augutina waved her hand: "Shiayar, as the highest-level client of the Dark Shadow Council, provided countless precious ancient intelligence."

"Even setting aside the other personal relationship between me and Shiayar, he remains a valued guest of the Dark Night Council, which is simply my duty as the host of the Dark Night Council."

"Actually, there’s more to it than that."

Enola looked at Augutina before her and spoke again.

"That night, after the Borgia family banquet held at the Hall of Oaths in the Empire Capital, if it hadn’t been for Miss Augustina stepping in and killing the severely wounded Guderian Borgia in the Astral Realm, he might have successfully escaped through Astral Evasion."

The blonde girl’s beautiful eyes were clear and bright, her voice like a melodious wind chime, crisp and without any impurities.

"I myself... have long ceased to care about the affairs of the Borgia family."

"The chain of hatred and interest is endless; uprooting one problem only brings out more. Even if we found the original culprit, it would undoubtedly involve deeper, more complex enemies.

"Instead of pursuing a possibly unattainable goal of revenge and dragging him into danger, I genuinely cherish the stable life I’ve finally managed to build with Shiayar."

"If possible, I would rather Shiayar never discovered the truth about Ceylon."

She slightly turned her body, gazing at Shiayar, who, sensing the change in atmosphere, had solemnly re-summoned Jayee and was earnestly discussing the subsequent battle plan... A faintly complex hue flashed in her sky-blue eyes.

"But, I know he cares."

"As long as Guderian Borgia lives, Shiayar will never let go of his thoughts of revenge... because that was his promise to me."

"Even if I wanted to end that covenant, he wouldn’t allow himself to break that vow."

"And Guderian Borgia will surely not spare an enemy who destroyed his betrothal and his family’s foundation."

"To become a mortal enemy with someone at the pinnacle of legend, even with protection from Her Royal Highness the Second Princess and Miss Silvia, is anything but safe."

"The wrath of someone legendary is not something Shiayar could withstand at the time... Any slight mistake could lead to irreversible consequences for us."

"A conclusion I absolutely do not wish to face."

Enola’s words were very soft.

"So, Miss Augustina, I’m truly grateful to you."

"Because it was your willingness to defy the unspoken rules of the Dark Night Council that allowed Shiayar to finally release from his long-standing obsession with avenging me."

"He no longer needs to be engulfed in danger every day, but instead we’ve regained our stable life."

The blonde girl’s words were sincere, free of any taint.

Gone was the subtle enmity in the air from their initial meeting as rivals.

In its place was pure gratitude and relief.

"Moreover, Miss Augustina’s help to him didn’t stop there."

"During the Third Era, had it not been for your assistance, Miss Augustina, Shiayar would never have achieved victory over the Crimson Red Moon so easily, fulfilling his plan to duel Her Majesty the Empress."

"And there’s this time too."

"You were right, at that time I could only accompany him in the form of the Sacred Spear... While I provided him with Immortal protection, I couldn’t be there to care for him."

"Changing his clothes, giving him water, wiping the dust from him..."

"These were things I wanted to do for him but couldn’t."

Enola glanced around and once again sincerely thanked Augutina.

"In short, during these days, Shiayar has indeed been well cared for by Miss Augustina."

Her melodious voice echoed in the spacious hall.

Causing Shiayar and the bouncing Silver beside him to hide their eyes with their fluffy tails in embarrassment.

"Whimper, whimper (How embarrassing, Master.)"

"Whimper, whimper~ whimper (Spotted you during a wardrobe change, your noble image seems to be shattering...)"
