Stolen Crown Princess (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 92

“…It’s fortunate that you still think that way, even now.”

Caliph replied in a rather magnanimous tone. Yet his expression remained stiff.

No wonder—he disliked having to give such a reply to Lellia. Moreover, the current situation of sitting side by side with her was deeply unpleasant.

He had anticipated that Eustia, who urgently summoned him, must have some hidden motive, but he hadn’t expected it to involve Lellia.

Of course, it didn’t truly matter. After all, Ibelia already knew everything and was tirelessly making efforts for his sake.

As long as Ibelia’s resolve remained firm, it would suffice to consistently treat Lellia with indifference. The problem was Felix’s words just before Caliph had come here.

[We need to buy some time for now.]

Felix had bluntly conveyed his intention, fully aware that Ibelia was right in front of him. He must have sensed something ominous in Eustia’s urgent summons.

Because of that, desperation heavily colored his voice, which at first sounded almost domineering. Caliph simply couldn’t ignore his words.

[What kind of time do we need to buy?]

[Ibelia has even promised to do whatever it takes, so at the very least, until she awakens her own abilities, I want their attention to stay away from her as much as possible. That way, she can focus entirely on her awakening.]

Felix answered in an almost blindly earnest manner. Though his words were directed at Caliph, they were certainly burdensome for Ibelia to hear.

Instinctively, Caliph turned his gaze toward Ibelia. Her eyes, set in a face tense with anxiety, were tinged with nervous apprehension.

That alone made a sigh rise to the back of his throat. He wanted to defy Felix’s words outright, but feared it would only lead to a prolonged argument, so he pressed his lips together tightly.

She was already troubled enough in her heart. He didn’t wish to burden her further.
