Chapter 1056


    Zuko’s words took Lina aback. “Repay?”


    Zuko grew more triumphant. “Yeah. Do you think I’d help you for nothing?”


    Lina’s eyebrows furrowed. “So, now you’re helping me but expecting something in return?”


    Zuko’s heart sank, realizing the misunderstanding.


    The girl on the screen had a serious expression. “I see, Zeke. So, it turns out that your help always


    comes with a purpose! You weren’t like this before. When you used to help me, you always said you


    were happy to do it! Ah, it seems that a man’s words are really unreliable…”


    Zuko panicked. “No, no, they’re reliable! I was just kidding earlier. I don’t want you to repay me!”


    Lina burst intoughter, revealing that she was teasing him.


    Zuko was momentarily stunned, realizing he had fallen for her yful act. The fluttering feeling in his


    heart returned, like a kitten pawing at his emotions.


    With mischievous and lively doe eyes on the screen, Lina asked, “So… how are you going to help me?”


    She was enjoying their banter.


    Still caught up in the moment, Zuko momentarily forgot to answer her question.

    Lina sweetly smiled, knowing he didn’t have a concrete answer. The background behind her disyed


    the grand pce, a ce off-limits to regr people. She just wanted to tease him and continue their


    conversation.


    Snapping out of his daze, Zuko chuckled. “Look up.”


    Lina raised her eyes to the navy night sky, which resembled luxurious velvet adorned with sparkling


    stars.


    “What do you think? Beautiful, isn’t it?”


    Lina, rarely admiring the starry sky, couldn’t help but be captivated by the natural magnificence. “Mm…


    It’s really beautiful.”


    Zuko smiled and shared his findings. “I checked online, and they say the stars in Southeast Aciatic are


    magical. If you make a wish upon the stars, your wish wille true.”


    “You’re just trying to fool me!” Lina eximed.


    “You don’t believe it? Give it a try,” Zuko responded.


    “What if it doesn’te true?”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books

    “Hmm…” Zuko pondered for a moment. “If ites true, kiss me when you return. If it doesn’te


    true, I’ll let you kiss me. Any way you want!”


    Lina would have jumped up and punched him if a screen didn’t separate them, though herughter was


    incredibly sweet.


    Zuko gazed at her tenderly.


    Little did she know, he held more influence than the stars in Southeast Aciatic. As the grandson of a


    Count, he had been bestowed a title at a young age. Even those in the grand pce addressed him


    respectfully as “His Lordship.”


    While others had to undergo multiple security checks to enter the pce, he only needed his face.


    Lina smiled and yed along with his words, knowing it was impossible but still willing to indulge in


    their silliness. She set her phone aside, closed her eyes, and sped her hands together, making a


    wish under the starry sky.


    “I hope I can visit the grand pce tomorrow and thoroughly sketch all the buildings to studyter!”


    “Alright,” Zuko replied in his deep and maic voice. “The stars have heard it!”


    …


    That night, the grand pce, the general’s residence, and the Irwin Manor all received various


    “harassing calls”.


    “His Lordship says his wife wants to visit the grand pce!


    “His Lordship says he cannot reveal his identity in front of his wife. Her ssmates must apany


    her if she wants to visit the grand pce!


    “His Lordship says this matter is crucial to him and requests Your Majesty’s assistance!”


    Alexander rubbed his temples, his brow furrowed, as he looked around.
