Logan stood by the side of the pillar that blocked the overall view from most sides. This made it so that people would only be able to view from a single side, making it easier for Logan to pinpoint if there were any people watching them silently while being hidden. However, he didn’t exactly know that Davis and Princess Isabella were already watching his actions.
He took a deep breath before he removed the mask from his face. His handsome face appeared, and with the shadows falling over his face, it made him look more striking than the normal. Combined with his lady-killer looks, he didn’t need to do much other than remaining silent to garner the attention of the opposite sex.
Nora Alstreim stood near him and was taken aback as she saw his face for the second time. Her heart skipped a beat again, and she didn’t know why exactly, but that’s why she came here to confirm. All this pestering and shamelessness… she confirmed what she truly came to confirm.
She heaved a sigh of relief, “You really do look similar to Alchemist Davis, but…”
“I like you…”
Nora Alstreim lowered her head as she declared, a blush appearing on her cheeks.
Logan became stunned as his sapphire eyes widened in shock. He moved a step back as he felt his heart couldn’t take it anymore.
No way! Being liked by an enemy? He wanted none of that!
Nora Alstreim moved closer and grasped his hand with hers, “Can you feel it?”
“…” Logan became frozen.
She even went far as to touch his hand? This action of her was clearly going overboard!
However, the moment he felt the power within her, the words she said became apparent to him as he realized.
“Can you feel the power? I noticed this when you saved me while embracing me.” Nora Alstreim endearingly said as she sent a soul transmission.
Logan: “…”
“My Purple Yin Star Flame is desiring your Purple Yang Star Lightning, and it should be the same to you…” Nora Alstreim smiled in an endearing light.
“…!” Logan increasingly trembled before he slapped her hand away and voiced out with his mouth, “No!”
He turned aside and declared, “It isn’t possible between us. Forget it.”
Nora Alstreim’s expression fell, “Why?”
Logan just shook his head as he wore his mask again.
“Is it because I’m the Young Mistress?” Nora Alstreim narrowed her eyes before she denied.
“No, that shouldn’t matter to you as you are a subordinate to a Young Mistress from a strong power than mine. Our statuses are sufficient!”
“Are you a kid?” Logan retorted, “I just saved you because I cannot afford to let you die at that time. Don’t go confusing it with some other emotion, emerging from other sources.”
Nora Alstreim’s purple pupils trembled. Could it be that her emotions were truly influenced by the power within her?
No! It didn’t as she had already introspected herself. It was her own emotions that made her came to like him, and whatever she felt, she never denied them in the first place! Even though she felt incredibly embarrassed to confess, she still did it as she didn’t like to beat around the bush.
“Then tell me why we can’t be together!?” She clenched her fists as she tried to calm herself down amidst her raging emotions.
Logan just turned around and left, not providing an explanation.
Nora Alstreim gritted her teeth in an aggrieved manner.
Why was she being ignored like this? Wasn’t her beauty that was said to be at the top in the Alstreim Family wasn’t enough for this person?
“Logan, if you don’t tell me, I will… I will not be able to put this matter down!”
Logan stopped for a second before turning back to look, “I already have someone incredibly special in my heart.”
Nora Alstreim became stunned.
Logan continued to walk again, but he stopped once more and looked back.
“I’ll act as if this conversation never happened, so don’t you ever dare to bring up this conversation ever again.”
Amidst Nora Alstreim’s stunned gaze, Logan left the corridor and entered another room, enclosing himself.
Nora Alstreim didn’t know what to do as she stood there frozen. She hadn’t met a single youth who didn’t show interest in her, and this became the first time she ever saw a man rejecting her like she wasn’t even a human.
Why was he so against her?
Could it be due to the special person in his heart?
‘The Conferred Queen!?’
‘If so, no wonder I truly didn’t stand a chance.’
Her tightened hands relaxed as she took a step forward and turned back, flying away to the exit. However, she suddenly stopped midway.
“Conferred Queen’s Protector… I know that your excellency is probably watching me even now, so I have a request to make.”
Nora Alstreim paused, but no voice could be heard in response. She opened her mouth again.
“Although the chances are less that your excellency won’t fulfill my request, I’ll still say it.”
“Tell Logan that I said, ‘Thank you for saving me, and even going far as to take the time to make me stop doing something stupid such as falling in love. I won’t disturb you anymore.'”
“That’s all.”
Nora Alstreim imperceptibly heaved a sigh and left the Purple Guest Palace as she flew away without even expecting a reply.
On the top floor, Princess Isabella’s room.
Davis heaved a complicated sigh as he saw the lonely back of Nora Alstreim.
It was just as he feared.
Just like Princess Shirley falling for him after he saved her, it was truly difficult for women to not have favorable and amicable thoughts on the man who has saved them from a dangerous situation.
Perhaps, Nora Alstreim was also the same, and Logan’s act of saving her was also what had made her like him, perhaps even start to love him. However, her love was truly just a budding emotion, and it seemed to be squashed right in its infancy, probably never to see the light again.
‘This is for the best…’ Davis inwardly nodded his head.
Princess Isabella had her palm on her agape mouth for a long time already. She couldn’t believe that she just witnessed a rare moment of two enemies, one aware and another unaware that they were enemies, have a one-sided confession said to them.
The Young Mistress of the Alstreim Family had actually confessed her affection for Logan, Claire’s husband! Claire should clearly be her enemy, so if she came to know about it, what kind of feeling would she possess?
Princess Isabella turned her head and asked, “Is this truly happening?”
Davis just simply nodded his head as if it were a matter of fact.
Princess Isabella was still in disbelief. However, thinking about Nora Alstreim, she asked.
“Why does Nora Alstreim know that we, no, you are watching? She should be unaware of the fact that you possess the master token since Ancestor Dian Alstreim gave it to you secretly in the presence of Grand Elder Krax Alstreim.”
“If it was not Ancestor Dian Alstreim, do you think Grand Elder Krax Alstreim is in cahoots with them?”
Davis became taken aback by her statement before he narrowed his eyes in scrutiny.
