Derila and Monica soon arrived at the airport, the two hurried in, checked in and
boarded the plane without incident.
The plane took off slowly.
Derila looked through the window at the bustling night scene outside and felt a bit
complicated.
Would Daemon be shocked to see her?
Did he want to see her?
Was he really going to be engaged to Penny?
Or Was he deliberately angry with her?
Or perhaps a meant to suppress William?
William said that she might hear some bad rumours when she arrived in Xendale and
might encounter a bit of an obstacle, what exactly was it?
She actually had something to look forward to.
"Your Highness, you are confused." In the castle, Clark, who had just woken up to what
William had done, said with anger and urgency.
"You are throwing your weight around like this, what if Ms.Feroma doesn't come back?
With Mr.Lierger's personality, he's likely to keep Ms.Feroma captive and not let her
come to Danontand, so who will cure the poison of all these people in the castle? What
about your treatment?"
"I've thought about that too." William was calm now, "so I'm betting on Derila's
affection for her friend and her duty as a doctor, and even more so, on Mr.Lierger's
feelings for her. "
He knew very well that, with Mr.Lierger's personality, she didn't like to meddle in such
idle matters at all.
However, if Derila insisted on coming back, if he truly loved her, he should think
about her, even if it was just to fulfil a wish for her, he would make this trip.
Of course, doing so would only do him good and no harm.
But on the other hand, given his temper, he could have ignored the matter if there was
even the slightest disregard for Derila's feelings.
So the bet was a bit risky.
"This is more risky than betting on His Majesty's conscience." Clark was anxious, "At
least His Majesty and you are blood relatives, so how can he be concerned about your
life and the reputation of the royal family? Even if he does not want to pursue the
matter, he will not see you dead, but if he knows that you have gone against his wishes
and let Ms.Feroma go, he will be very angry, and then he may…"
The latter words, Clark did not dare to say.
"You overestimate the king's conscience." William sneered mockingly, "If he really had a
conscience, he wouldn't have ignored me for twenty years, nor would he have let the
death of my parents and the maiming of me go unchecked. He would not have used the
poisoning to threaten me to help him achieve his goals. In his eyes, I am just a useless
outcast, and my survival or death means nothing to him at all."
"Your Highness."
Hearing these words, Clark was stunned, he didn't know what William had gone
through at the palace today, but he could imagine that it must have been mind-blowing,
the ultimate humiliation, that he had died of despair for his grandfather.
Rather than pin all his hopes on two irrelevant people, he would never again have
placed them in the old king.
"I believe in Derila." William's gaze was very firm, "She will not see death and leave
us alone, she will come back."
"What about Mr.Lierger?" Clark asked softly.
This time, William didn't say anything. He was confident that Derila would be
responsible for him and the people in this castle to the end, but he had little faith in
Mr.Lierger.
He could not be sure that Mr.Lierger would definitely come to his aid, nor could he be
sure that Mr.Lierger would not do anything extreme.
So, a heart of his was hanging in the balance.
"Alas ……, " Clark sighed deeply, "there's no use thinking so much now, just take a
gamble!"
"Yes." William smiled bitterly, "Fate is sometimes a big gamble, if I can't turn it around,
I'd rather just die than live again. If I could get back on my feet again, I would walk back
into the palace and tell everyone that I, William, am back!!!"
