Chapter 779 Let’s Spar
“He’s so reserved. I would have thought he was mute if I hadn’t heard him speak earlier,” Antheena
remarked.
Eleanor nced at Matthew with intrigue. “He looks quite homely, but when he fought with Hendrey just
now, I could see that he was quite strong.” Then, she turned to Dominik and asked, “Can I spar with
him?”
“I heard that Princess Eleanor is highly skilled in terms of martial arts too. I’m interested.” “Yes, you
guys can spar.”
“Eleanor, don’t be ridiculous.” “Yeah, he irritates me. Eleanor, teach him a lesson for me.”

“Princess Eleanor, you should forget it. He’s stronger than me. I’m worried he will hurt you by mistake,”
Hendrey blurted. It didn’t sound anything out of the norm, yet it was clear that he seemed to be
provoking her.
Veronica could tell what Hendrey was up to. She swept an unfathomable nce at him and happened
to meet his eyes. He dodged away guiltily.
“Hah! You underestimate me.” It seemed that the provocation worked on Eleanor. So, she raised her
eyebrows and confidently walked up to Matthew. “Hey, what’s your name? Can you spar with me?”
Matthew poured himself a bottle of wine and replied indifferently, “No.” His tone was light and breezy,
but his refusal was swift and affirmative.
Tiffany, who had been silent due to the humiliation, resented Iron Pir for his involvement in the
incident earlier. Veronica would not have had the chance to make a move on her had he not stepped in
to fight with Hendrey. When she saw this, she immediately said imperiously, “You’re just a bodyguard.
How dare you disregard the Young Lord of the Hidden n. This is outrageous!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Matthew and Veronica red at her in unison, terrifying her into
silence.
“You’re right, Tiffany. Veronica, people would even say that you are defying the Young Lord if word gets
out.” Zac added fuel to the fire.
Xavier couldn’t stand the two, so he came to Matthew’s defense and said, “One should always get the
other party’s consent in a spar.”
Among the people in attendance, Xavier was the only one who would take Veronica’s side.
Unfortunately, he was also a married man. As a result, his remarks drove Antheena up the wall as she
retorted, “He should be grateful that the honorable Princess Eleanor is willing topete with him, yet
he rejected her. That’s so rude! He’s lucky that Princess Eleanor is a nice person. Otherwise, he would
have been dragged out and executed if it were anyone else.”
Antheena kept fanning the me, hoping to drive a deeper wedge between Veronica and Eleanor.
“Since he doesn’t want to spar, please don’t push him, Princess Eleanor.” Veronica did not want to
force Matthew into a difficult position. Besides, she also wanted to protect her beloved man. Then, she
pursed her red lips slightly and beamed. “Hendrey said that Iron Pir’s skill is far above his. Princess
Eleanor, why don’t you spar with Hendrey? You can challenge Iron Pir after you beat him.”
It was about time to let someone have a taste of their own medicine.
Although Veronica was initially in a dilemma since Hendrey was her first love, her feelings for him
gradually dissipated with time.
“Hmm…” Eleanor looked at Hendrey and pondered seriously for a few seconds before nodding. “Okay.
Come on, Hendrey, let’s spar, but—” She paused and turned to Matthew. “Your name is Iron Pir,
right? I’ll spar against you if I win against Hendrey. Is that okay?”
“Sure,” Matthew agreed unexpectedly. It was probably because he thought that Eleanor would not be
able to win against Hendrey.
“Alright, it’s a deal.” Eleanor snapped her fingers and grinned in excitement.
Veronica had gone through the information packet she was given. So, she knew that even though
Eleanor was only three years older than Liam, she was a happy-go-lucky person with a bold and open-
minded temperament.
