Chapter 1400


    Nathaniel felt bad when he saw Mango''s pained expression. However, this wasn''t a good ce to


    talk, so he could only say softly, "I''ll tell you on the way."


    "I want to know now. I know that you''re able to tell me everything in only a few words, right?"


    Mango was very persistent.


    Nathaniel knew that she attached great importance to kinship, so what happened to Lebanon dealt


    a great blow on her. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Lebanon''s heart is on the left, so


    everyone will think that he will definitely die when he is shot in the right. But that is just part of the


    n."


    Mango was stunned.


    "How do you know my cousin''s heart is on the left?"


    "Magnolia said so."


    Mango was quite convinced by the mention of Magnolia. After all, no one was more familiar with a


    child''s body than their own mother. However, she was still a little worried.


    "Howe I didn''t know about your n at all?


    When did youe up with it?" "I came up with this n with Tristan when we caught that person


    in the hot spring. The whole of Ango would be handed over to Lebanon soon, but before that, we


    must ensure his safety. However, because of the rtionship between Lebanon and us, no matter


    how much we distance ourselves, he can''t be removed from the picture. So, only temporary death


    can protect him. He is a man, and he will do great things in the future, so it is inevitable to get hurt."


    Nathaniel exined.


    He didn''t see any hatred in Mango''s eyes, only confusion. This made Nathaniel let out a sigh of


    relief.


    As long as Mango didn''t hate him.


    This was a dangerous move, and a single mistake could really cost a person''s death. Despite that,


    he still sacrificed a soldier of his.


    After listening to Nathaniel''s exnation, Mango finally understood.


    "Where are we going now?"


    "Laborn thought that we had left Ango, or that we were killed in the air by those guided missiles.


    So, he is likely to punish Prestin now. However, Lebanon doesn''t like him anyway. Laborn''s disposal


    of Prestin is just for show. We will take care of him when Prestin is imprisoned."


    Nathaniel''s eyes were filled with determination, and Mango''s heart instantly calmed down when she


    saw this.


    "Okay, I''ll follow you."


    As she said this, Mango stepped forward and offered her hand to Nathaniel.


    When Nathaniel held his wife''s hand, his palm was already sweaty.


    No one knew how much he was afraid of seeing hatred in Mango''s eyes. Fortunately, there was no


    such thing.


    The situation back then had been too urgent. After he and Tristan had set up the n, they were


    both extremely busy. They had mobilized all their manpower, arranged the follow- up work, and


    checked every detail to ensure perfection. As a result, he hadn''t had the time to tell Mango about it.


    Besides, he was afraid that Mango would be too soft-hearted to make a move once she found out,


    and he was afraid deep down that Mango would hate him for not telling her the truth.


    Nathaniel could bear anything, but he couldn''t bear it if Mango hated him. It was worse than killing


    him.


    Fortunately, Mango didn''t hate him.


    Although she did not know anything, there was a look of trust in her eyes.


    She trusted him.


    Nothing else made Nathaniel feel happier andforted than this.


    However, Mango was also a little nervous as she had never thought that Nathaniel would do


    something that would make her upset. When he had shot Lebanon back then, although she felt sad,


    she was sure that Nathaniel had his own reasons.


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    She wanted to listen to his exnation, and although she was still a little worried now, Lebanon''s


    survival was the silver lining of everything that happened, including the death of that soldier.


    The hearts of the two had never been so close and determined before. At this moment, Mango


    deeply understood what she needed to do.


    She was a citizen of Z Country and the wife of a soldier. She would fight for the honor of the country


    and the people!


    Determination and passion rose in her heart.


    Soon, Mango followed Nathaniel back to the pce.


    Tristan said that it was impossible that Laborn didn''t know about Prisci''s secret passageway in


    the pce, and it was likely that Kash and Aries had been bribed and persuaded by Laborn.


    Thinking back to the way Kash had worshipped Prisci, Mango found it hard to believe that this


    was true.


    "Nathan, maybe Kash didn''t..."


    "We must consider every possibility now. We can''t trust anyone but ourselves. Of course, we can


    still trust our military."


    Nathaniel gripped Mango''s hand tightly, afraid that she would expose their whereabouts because


    she was soft-hearted.


    "What should we do now?"


    "We find a way to get in."


    Nathaniel whispered and then whistled. Almost immediately, someone came out from inside.


    "Mr. Ye."


    He was still dressed as a guard and his face was still unfamiliar, but he had appeared in front of


    them in a sh, as if he was waiting for them all this time.


    Mango was very curious as to how this was possible. However, since Nathaniel didn''t mention it,


    she didn''t ask either. The current situation was that the more questions she asked, the more people


    were exposed. If anything were to happen, there might not be a way to clean the mess.


    At this point, Mango knew about the importance of this matter clearly.


    "Take us to where Prestin is being imprisoned. How''s the secret passageway Prisci left behind?"


    "Fortunately, you didn''t enter from the secret tunnel. Laborn has already sent people to secure each


    exit of the tunnels. Once you enter, you will be caught no matter where youe out from."


    The guard said in a low voice, which scared Mango.


    "Did Kash betray Prisci?"


    The guard nced at Mango and said in a low voice, "Kash has always been on Laborn''s side."


    When Mango heard this, she was shocked.


    "Doesn''t that mean that Laborn knew everything Prisci did? Then Laborn must know when we


    first came. Why didn''t he attack us? Instead, he pretended that he didn''t know what we were doing


    and was still searching for us outside."


    This was Mango''s doubt.


    The guard said in a low voice, "In order to draw the snake out of its hole and to see how many


    people in the pce are on your side. He wanted to see who was disloyal to him. Laborn is never a


    simple person."


    Mango looked at Nathaniel in shock.


    Fortunately, Nathaniel had ''killed'' Lebanon today. Otherwise, if Laborn had done it, Lebanon would


    not have survived.


    Suddenly, Mango thought of Prisca.


    Prisca''s finger had been cut off by Anaya. If she had had surgery back then, she would have been


    able to reattach it. However, Laborn did not give the order. Did Laborn do it on purpose?


    He had deliberately let Prisca get her finger cut off to punish her for her contact with the Acker


    family and helping Mango and Nathaniel?


    Thinking of this, Mango immediately broke out in cold sweat.


    That man was indeed terrifying.


    She always thought that they were able to be in Ango in peace because they had a widework


    of connections, but she didn''t expect that everything was under Laborn''s control. Without Lebanon''s


    ''death'', her life might be in Laborn''s hands right now.


    "Does he suspect the Acker family too?"


    Nathaniel looked a little serious.


    Aunt Mo and the other girls'' departure were all made possible thanks to the power of the Acker


    family. Now that they knew that Kash was on Laborn''s side, Nathaniel was afraid that Tristan''s


    identity would be exposed.


    The guard shook his head and said, "No, even though Laborn suspects the Acker family, he does


    not have conclusive evidence. Aunt Mo and the girls'' departure were personally arranged by you


    two. Kash is clueless about it, so the Acker family is safe. However, because of Prisca, Laborn did


    have doubts about the Acker family. He just doesn''t have any proof. Not long ago, he sent troops


    over there and said that it was to protect the Acker family. But in truth, he wants to monitor and


    control the Acker family. Fortunately, you are not in the Acker family''s mansion now, or it will be a


    disaster for them. But now, the Fifth Princess should be under surveince."


    Mango broke out in cold sweat when she heard the guard''s words.


    They had once thought that every step they took was safe, but they didn''t expect that every step


    turned out to be this dangerous. Fortunately, Nathaniel and Tristan hade up with this n,


    otherwise, they wouldn''t know what state they were in now.


    Sensing Mango''s fear, Nathaniel grasped her hand tightly and whispered, "It''s alright. This is what


    war looks like. It''s a contest of connections, strategies, and luck."


    In other words, if they were unlucky, they would die here anytime.


    Looking at the calm man beside her, Mango''s heart was filled with an indescribable feeling. It was a


    mixture of pride, worry, and heartache.


    Every step forced them to go up against life and death, and this feeling could only be felt by


    soldiers. She was lucky enough to experience it personally and enabled her to understand


    Nathaniel deeply.


    Mango said softly, "We will be fine. We will. Justice will always win. The heavens will not help


    someone like Laborn, who is cunning and evil. Luck will definitely be on our side."


    "That''s right."


    Nathaniel smiled faintly, causing the entire starry sky to lose its charm all of a sudden. When Mango


    saw this, her heart tightened as she was immediately mesmerized by this.


    The guard coughed and said, "You can''t stay here. Come with me. I will send you safely into the


    pce and where Prestin is. Laborn has grounded him and asked him to reflect on his mistakes.


    However, because of Prestin''s mother, Laborn would let him out in a few days."


    "That won''t do. If Prestin didn''t die, how would those behind his mother''s family rebel? Laborn has


    had the throne for too long. It wouldn''t be a problem if he rules properly, but it''s a pity that he doesn''t


    know how to be content. Humans sometimes tend to be too greedy, and they are bound to suffer in


    the end."


    Nathaniel''s gaze was sharp as he grabbed Mango''s hand immediately and followed the guard


    inside.


    He was worried no matter where Mango was, so he might as well keep her by his side. At the very


    least, he would be able to protect her.


    When Prestin saw Nathaniel and Mango once again, he froze. He wanted to scream, but Mango


    covered his mouth abruptly as Nathaniel took out a dagger immediately and cut his throat.


    Prestin''s eyes were full of disbelief and unwillingness, but his life was already gone.


    Mango trembled a little. After all, it was a person''s life, but Nathaniel took her hand and quickly left


    the pce.


    Outside, someone had alreadye to check on Prestin as Mango and Nathaniel quickly walked


    out of the pce. Just as they were about to leave, a pair of guards suddenly stopped them.


    "Stop right there!"
