Chapter 1057


    Neil and Rowan were sitting on opposite sides. They exchanged surprised nces and were hesitant


    to speak. They had entered the pce together, following Zuko’s instructions, but they didn’t expect to


    hear about it again in this setting.


    The three of them sat in silence in the spacious hall, interrupted only by the sound of boiling water.


    Alexander took a deep breath and inquired, “What else did he say?”


    Loyal and devoted, Remus smiled and replied, “His Lordship also mentioned that if this task isn’t


    aplished, he will inform his father and ensure that his father never visits Southeast Aciatic again!”


    Alexander coughed, almost choking on his tea.


    “That… That rascal!” He was amused and irritated, casting a helpless look at the two men.


    Neil struggled to hold back hisughter while Rowan quickly stood up to apologize.


    “Your Majesty, please forgive us. Zuko is still a child…”


    “Yes, still a child!” Neil interjected mischievously. “Your Majesty, you mustn’t let him off the hook! Haha!”


    “You!” Rowan red at Neil, clearly annoyed.


    Neil discreetly gave a thumbs-up to Alexander. “Our Zuko is quite clever with this move!”


    Alexander felt another blow. “Who started spreading these notions in front of the child!?”


    “No one dares to!” Neil mused, rubbing his chin. “Our children are smart. He must have figured it out on


    his own!”


    Alexander frowned. “When did he get married?”


    “I’m not entirely sure.” Rowan pondered. “But there was a time when he wanted X’s painting. It might


    be rted to this girl!”


    “It’s unlikely they are officially married,” Neil analyzed. “Young people these days call each other


    husband and wife even while dating! But it seems this girl has a strong hold on our Zuko!”Books

    “But Zuko—” Rowan began to mention his existing engagement but stopped himself mid-sentence.


    Alexander smiled helplessly and nced at Remus, who awaited hismand.


    Remus tentatively asked, “Your Majesty, what should we do?”


    “What choice do we have? Follow the young Count’s instructions!” Alexander shook his head, a wry


    smile on his face. Was this a plea for assistance or simply tant ckmail?


    The following day…


    The designated teacher shared some exciting news with the ss.


    “ss, we received an official invitation from His Majesty the Kingst night. Today, we have the


    opportunity to visit the pce!”


    As everyone enjoyed their breakfast, Heidi’s words brought a momentary pause, followed by cheers


    that erupted throughout the hotel buffet restaurant.


    “Wow! We can actually enter the pce?”


    “The real pce, not just the tourist section!”


    “Unbelievable! How did the king invite us? This is incredible!”


    “We attend a prestigious university! Education is highly valued in Southeast Aciatic, so it’s only natural


    for students from esteemed institutions to receive special treatment!”


    Amidst the cheers and animated discussions, Lina’s silence was conspicuous.


    Keira nudged her arm. “Lina, aren’t you happy?”


    Lina shook her head, still in shock.


    She never expected Zuko’s words to be so urate. The superstitions surrounding the stars in


    Southeast Aciatic turned out to hold some truth!


    “Lina, stop daydreaming!” Keira called out to her. “Hurry back to your room and pack. Ms. Lister said


    we should gather at the entrance by nine sharp!”

    “Oh…” Lina snapped out of her daze and was about to join everyone upstairs when she encountered


    Heidi’s disdainful gaze.


    Heidi sneered, crossing her arms. “Lina Jenner, you don’t have to go!”
