The Youngest Daughter of the Swordsmanship Family Turned Great Mage (32 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 162

“If you permit me to take only Rogette Adrian, I will make Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

“……!”

Louis barely concealed his surprise as he examined Mikhail’s expression. It was to determine the truth of his words.

‘He’s serious.’

In truth, Louis had thought Mikhail harbored greater ambitions. He suspected Rogette was merely an excuse, and that in reality he might be pretending to help while aiming for the throne himself.

But the Mikhail before his eyes showed no such sign at all. His gaze seemed to say that the only thing he truly wanted was Rogette.

‘Of course, he could simply be someone skilled at hiding his expression.’
