Chapter 1477
"What happened?"
The person who came was the assistant promoted by Lebanon after he returned, so Lebanon felt
more assured with his help. Suddenly, he ran in with a panicked face, which made Lebanon''s heart
skip a beat.
The assistant was not surprised when he saw Tristan. Instead, he paused for a moment and
nced at Lebanon. Upon seeing that Lebanon wasn''t wary of Tristan, he quickly said, "The Dark
Forest in the North has exploded.”
"What? The Dark Forest?"
Lebanon was shocked after hearing this.
"What''s wrong? Did anything happen?"
Upon seeing Lebanon''s reaction, Tristan suddenly became nervous and somewhat uneasy.
Then, Lebanon looked at him and whispered, "The Dark Forest is an ancient forest. Ordinary people
can''t enter, and no one dares to go in after hearing that the wild animals inside would hunt humans.
So, Laborn moved the military institute into the Dark Forestst year." "Huh? Isn''t the military
research institute inside the pce?"
Tristan could still remember how he got in and out of the ce. Now, he was surprised with
Lebanon''s words.
However, Lebanon shook his head and said, "The military research institute in the pce is a ce
to cover up the truth. Laborn cherishes his life more than you think. How can he put such dangerous
biochemistry research under his territory? He''s afraid that an explosion will erupt and blow him up
one day! Instead, the real institute is in the Dark Forest, which I only recently learned about. Since
Laborn didn''t assign his position to me, I had no idea how to get there, but I never thought it would
explode. If the explosive liquid inside leaked out, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Where is Desmond?"
Tristan suddenly thought of Desmond.
It was impossible for the military institute to explode without a reason, but they still had no clue
regarding the person that was targeting Desmond. Didn''t they say that Jose was not here? So did
Desmond do it?
Tristan felt a little uneasy when he thought about this.
After hearing this, Lebanon quickly asked his assistant to find Desmond. However, there was no
trace of Desmond when Tristan and Lebanon arrived at the institute.
Corpses were lying all over in the military institute, and they all wore white coats and had numbers
on their chests. They should all used to be the internal employees of the institute.
But these people were dead.
It was a disgusting scene as there were dead bodies all over the ce.
Upon seeing the bloody surroundings, Tristan''s eyes sank a little.
Did Desmond do it?
But why was it so brutal?
He learned from Nathaniel that Desmond had gone to an ind for special training. Therefore, he
could have killed them with one strike if he wanted to kill these people. Instead, he did not need to
adapt such a cruel way of dismembering the limbs, unless the riot in Desmond''s body was
triggered. In this case, he probably had lost his mind and became a killing machine.
At this thought, Tristan became serious.
"I''ll go home first, but you shouldn''t go to the Dark Forest. I''ll take some people with me."
Tristan looked at Lebanon with a stern expression while saying this.
"Is it dangerous?"
Lebanon was touched by his brother''s concern about him for the first time, so he could not help
frowning.
"What nonsense! You know whether this ce is dangerous! Your identity''s different now because
you are the king of Ango. People are waiting for you to put the country on the right track again.
Anyway, I''ll take care of this matter. Besides, Desmond is someone that Mango cares about. Thus,
it''s useless for you to go there. However, I am a doctor and I have more experience than you in this
field, so you should listen to me."
Then, Tristan reached out and patted Lebanon''s head. When the assistant beside them saw this, he
quickly lowered his head and broke out in a cold sweat.
Tristan was probably the only one who dared to touch the king. Surprisingly, Lebanon did not stop
him. Instead, he let out a helpless frown.
"Be careful."
Lebanon was not used to beingforted like a child, but it was strange that he did not avoid it.
Even though he was already a grown adult, this was the first time that he had a rtive who treated
him so sweetly. Hence, he didn''t want to evade all these affectionate gestures.
Anyway, no one saw it.
Lebanon saw the assistant, who was lowering his head awkwardly with a nce. His eyes sank a
little, but he did not say anything.
Then, Tristan nodded and went out.
When he returned to the Acker family, he saw Teagan waiting at the door.
"The Dark Forest exploded, but the pce guards sealed off the ce immediately. Our people
can''t get in."
"If you can''t get in, then don''t. Urgh! There are a lot of problems with the Acker family, so you should
be more careful."
Tristan looked at Taegan, who grew up with him, and said with a smile.
"Tristan, are you going to the Dark Forest? I''ll go with you."
Teagan couldn''t let his only rtive take the risk alone.
However, Tristan smiled and said, "You are already the head of the family, so why are you so
childish? People depend on you for a livelihood, don''t you know that? You can''t be capricious now,
and I know what I''m doing. If I face danger, I won''t fight till my death. I''m not stupid, right?"
It seemed that Teagan had expected Tristan to refuse it, Then, his face turned a little pale.
"Did you do it on purpose?"
"What do you mean?"
"You purposely passed the position to me because you didn''t want to be restricted by these
responsibilities, right? In fact, you even wanted these responsibilities to hold me back so that I
couldn''t go anywhere. In the past, I was with you no matter where you went. However, it seems that
you''re abandoning me now. Why do you do this?"
Teagan started tearing up as he said these words.
Tristan felt a little upset after hearing this.
"Look, Teagan, you are part of the Acker family. You have your own life, and you are an
independent individual, get it? No one can follow anyone for a lifetime, not even your biological
brother. We have to get married and settle down to take care of our own family. I also have a wife
myself, and you will find a woman who belongs to you in the future. You''ll get married and have
children. Besides, we are all adults with responsible on our shoulders, so you should think before
you act." "I don''t care! I have to follow you no matter what.
Urgh! I don''t want to be an independent individual. I would rather be your sidekick. Ever since I was
young, you have always brought me along. You even said that you would bring me back to the
Acker family and let me return to my ancestral roots. Although you did it, you didn''t tell me. But once
I returned to the Acker family, you abandoned me."
"I didn''t."
"You just don''t want me! Dad is gone, and you are my only family. I can''t stop you from taking risks,
but I want to go with you. I don''t want to see my family leaving me anymore. Also, I don''t want to be
alone in the world and wait for you toe back. I don''t want to!"
Teagan had never been so stubborn. He was almost as tall as Tristan, but when thetter saw how
Teagan had broken down in tears, he felt heartbroken.
"Hey, Teagan."
"Laborn is dead. I''ve also avenged our father. The country needs money to recuperate, so I donated
half of the Acker family''s assets. I''ve left the rest to our stepmother, so I have no duty now, and
you''re my responsibility."
Perhaps Teagan felt that it was embarrassing to cry. Thus, he quickly reached out his hands and
wiped the tears away.
Tristan felt a little depressed after hearing this.
He had given the property and assets to Teagan. Unexpectedly, Teagen had given it away to their
stepmother without any hesitation.
Even if their stepmother wasn''t ambitious, and she didn''t want to lead the family, Tristan still felt pity
for him.
"Don''t cry. If your sister-inw sees you, she will think I am bullying you. If you want to follow me,
then don''t take risks, okay?"
"Got it, Tristan!"
After hearing this, Teagan was delighted and quickly ran out of the courtyard.
Meanwhile, Tristan looked at Teagan''s retreating figure before shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
Teagan was already a grown adult, so how could he act so childishly?
Lebanon was the same too!
He must have owed these two younger brothers too much previously. Otherwise, why would they
torture him so much in this life?
At this thought, Tristan pushed the door open and went in. When he returned to his room, he saw
Prisci sitting in front of the dressing table with a dazed look on her face.
"What are you thinking about?"
Tristan hugged her from behind while asking.
Meanwhile, Prisci came back to her senses when she smelled his familiar scent. She looked at
Tristan''s handsome face from the mirror and said with a smile, "You''re back?"
"Yeah, what were you thinking about just now?"
"It''s nothing."
Prisci lowered her head, and a hint of disappointment shed across her eyes.
She couldn''t say that she was actually envious of Mango, could she?
Mango already had three children, but she didn''t know if she could be pregnant. It was fine if she
was single, but she was Tristan''s wife now. Even if Tristan said that he would cure her, she still
wouldn''t believe it.

Several doctors have said that she was infertile and was impossible to be a mother. Despite
so, Tristan''s words had reignited her hopes. Now, she felt rtively nervous and uneasy.
Then, she involuntarily ced her hand on her stomach.
Tristan narrowed his eyes and immediately understood what she was thinking.
He bent down and whispered gently in her ear, "Isn''t it good if we spend two years as a couple?
Once the matters have been settled, I will take you to travel around the world and view the scenery
all around the world, okay?"
"That''s nonsense! How would you have the time allow you to apany me on a vacation?"
Prisci patted his hand and thought that he was just trying tofort her.
However, Tristan smiled and said, "I have been saving up my holidays for years. If I apply for it, I
can have a year worth''s break, which will include our wedding holiday and the honeymoon trip. I can
apany you wherever you want."
"Is that true?"
"It''s true. I''ll be a dog the rest of my life if I lie."
After hearing this, the corner of Prisci''s lips immediately rose.
"Nah, I don''t want you to be a dog, or I''ll ask you to do whatever I want for the rest of my life!"
"Woof! Woof! Do you want me to act this way?"
Tristan suddenly changed his tone. Upon seeing this, Prisci was stunned and speechless.
Had Tristan, who had always been cold and arrogant, been possessed by something?
Looking at his wife''s disbelief eyes, Tristan''s face
immediately flushed red.
"Do dogs have different breeds?"
Prisci burst outughing after hearing this.
"You are so weird today. Is there something you want to do without my acknowledgement?"
Tristan felt that his wife knew him too well, but he smiled and said, "What can I do? I''m only thinking
about you all the time!"
"Stop it. Why did you visit Lebanon today? Is it... um..."
Before Prisci could finish her sentence, Tristan had covered her mouth with his thin lips. Prisci
was blown away by the passionate kiss, and she fell into a daze. Suddenly, she was carried to bed
by Tristan as they started to toss and turn around in the sheets...
