“Let’s leave first and talk later,” Celeste said softly.
As virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net activated virtual-novel.net internal energy to break the metal chain. She then grabbed Lord Kenny and flew up in the air.
The executioner was furious and worried as virtual-novel.net shouted loudly, “Stop them. Stop them now!”
All the other guards rushed forward immediately, but how would they be able to chase Celeste with their weak ability? In a blink of an eye, virtual-novel.net had disappeared with Lord Kenny into the sky.
The crowd was stunned by the sight.
“Is virtual-novel.net a goddess?”
“How lucky is Lord Kenny that a beautiful lady came to his rescue!”
“That could be worth d***g for.”
Meanwhile, Celeste brought Lord Kenny to the top of the mountain on the Royal City’s north side. The rain had stopped, but the north wind was still strong.
Lord Kenny looked at Celeste and could not hide his curiosity. “Who are you? Why did you save me?”
Celeste looked at Lord Kenny, not saying a word. “I’m the Sect Master of Spiritual Invisible Sect. You don’t need to know my name. As for why I rescued you…”
Celeste sighed and continued while feeling conflicted, “You had spent a lot of money to hire my Spiritual Invisible Sect to k**l Darryl. We did not complete the mission. As such, my sect owes you a life. Now that I have rescued you, we’re even.”
That was the reason.
When Lord Kenny realized that, virtual-novel.net could not help but smile bitterly. He felt a pain in his heart. In the past, virtual-novel.net thought of all the ways virtual-novel.net could k**l Darryl to stop his wife from looking for him.
In the end, look what happened. He and his wife were still destined to be apart.
‘It was lucky that Darryl did not d*e; otherwise, Monica would have no one to rely on in the future,’ Lord Kenny thought. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net had a thought.
“Sect Master, now that we’re even, can you please grant me a request?” virtual-novel.net begged, his eyes looking desperate.
‘What does Lord Kenny want?’ Celeste wondered.
Celeste furrowed virtual-novel.net brows, but virtual-novel.net still nodded and said, Tell me.”
I don’t care if I live, but I want to exchange my life for a child’s life. The child is only two years; his name’s Ambrose Darby. He’s locked in the palace p****n. If you can rescue him, I, Lord Kenny, will do whatever you want,” virtual-novel.net said with a bitter smile.
‘What? A boy with the last name Darby?’
When virtual-novel.net heard that, Celeste could not help but ask, “The child that you’re talking about, how are you related to him?”
Lord Kenny smiled. “The child is not my biological child, but I call virtual-novel.net my own.”
Not his biological child?
Celeste’s exquisite face was full of curiosity. “Lord Kenny, you want to exchange your life for a child that has no blood relation to you?”
Lord Kenny did not want to explain further. He bowed to Celeste. “Sect Master, please grant my request.”
Seeing how sincere virtual-novel.net was and his determination, Celeste did not say anything further but nodded and said, ” Fine, I’ll help you. Wait for me here. If I’ m able to rescue the child, you can leave together with him. If I can’t, then I can’t help.”
As virtual-novel.net said that, Celeste pointed virtual-novel.net toes to the ground and leaped into the air, flying towards the Royal City.
“Thank you, Sect Master!”” Lord Kenny was delighted and knelt to the ground immediately.
His whole life, virtual-novel.net had only knelt to the sky, the ground, and the Emperor, but not anyone else! However, for Ambrose, virtual-novel.net was willing to forgo all his dignity!
After a while, Celeste returned; virtual-novel.net face looked dark as virtual-novel.net held papers in virtual-novel.net hands.
“Sect Master, how did it go?” Lord Kenny rushed forward immediately, his eyes full of desperation.
Celeste sighed quietly and handed the roll of papers to Lord Kenny. “The child has been rescued. Princess Yvette broke into the p****n yesterday night and took virtual-novel.net away. The entire Royal City is looking for both of them now. There were notices with pictures of their faces being put up at a few city entrances.”
‘What? Princess Yvette had rescued Ambrose?’ Lord Kenny’s heart ached at the news.
He opened the roll of paper and read it. It was a reward notice with Yvette and Ambrose’s face painted on it. There were a few sentences under their picture, ‘ Wanted by the Palace! Twenty Thousand Bucks reward, if found!’
“Lord Kenny. Since the child is fine now, you should save yourself too. Farewell!” Celeste said before virtual-novel.net turned to leave.
Lord Kenny was stunned for a few seconds as virtual-novel.net watched Celeste leave. He could not but laugh at the sky.
‘Ambrose is fine. Ambrose is fine. I have nothing to worry about now!’
Lord Kenny had a sudden thought as virtual-novel.net walked. He had come to a decision.
For the past dozen years, virtual-novel.net had been extremely loyal to the royal family, and yet virtual-novel.net had ended up like this!
