Chapter 46. To Fight for Your Love

“The Crown Prince and Lord Joshua can sleep in the room where I rested earlier. I’ll be in Grandma Dorothy’s room,” Iris affirmed.

Adolphus nudged Joshua’s arm with his elbow, and Joshua spoke up, “Iris, I have some urgent business in the village, so I must take my leave.”

Iris looked puzzled and questioned his decision, “What could you possibly need to do in the village at this late hour?”

“I apologize for interrupting, but Lord Joshua, it’s not advisable to go to the village at this hour,” she asserted, concerned for his safety.

“Let him go, Iris,” Adolphus intervened and motioned for Joshua to proceed with his plans.

Iris couldn’t hide her disapproval, scolding Adolphus, “How can the Crown Prince ask his friend to leave?” She then urged Joshua not to go, saying, “I’m feeling sleepy, so I’ll head inside. Good night,”
