Chapter 1104: Chapter 674: Agreement Reached_2 Chapter 1104: Chapter 674: Agreement Reached_2 “Mr. Lane, you don’t need to paint a rosy picture for me. Forgive me for being blunt, but from the current situation, you and the Great Prince are not on the same level, hence the promises you make are not of the same weight either.”
Brocade Winthrop first raised her eyebrows, then said solemnly, “However, I am willing to believe in you, Mr. Lane, and I am also willing to believe that Princess Ariel can bring new glory and prosperity to the Coldflame Kingdom. Therefore, even though hope is slim, I am still willing to wait for that small glimmer of hope to one day burst into flames.”
“Teacher, so you agree to this?”
Seeing Olivia, who had been listening intently by the side, excitedly said, “That’s wonderful!”
“Yes, but the reason I agree is because of you, Mr. Lane.”
Brocade Winthrop smiled and nodded in response. “It is you and Princess Ariel who have made me see a faint glimmer of hope in the dark future of the kingdom. For the sake of this faint hope, I am willing to stand guard.”
Pausing for a moment, Brocade Winthrop concealed a soft cough with her hand and added, “Of course, the promise to explore the Winged People’s Barrier Region still must be fulfilled.”
After saying that, a hint of anticipation and excitement appeared on Brocade Winthrop’s fair face.
“I’m afraid the last sentence is the key point, isn’t it?”
Seeing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but smile helplessly in his heart and then said, “Worthy of Master Brocade Winthrop, a very wise choice.”
Seeing Lord Ray successfully reach a consensus with Coldflame’s strongest Illusion Master, all the subordinates, including Ariel Watson, couldn’t help but be invigorated.
“Mr. Lane, forgive me for being blunt, although I have agreed to your proposal, but from the current situation, I cannot possibly place my entire future in your and Princess Ariel’s hands.”
Brocade Winthrop pondered for a moment and then said frankly, “So, I need a safeguard measure. Please cooperate, Mr. Lane.”
“Feel free to say it.”
Leo Ray nodded and replied, “I will do my best.”
“It’s simple. To avoid arousing the Great Prince’s suspicion, I hope you can send someone to repel me instead of me leaving voluntarily.”
Brocade Winthrop raised her eyebrows and said, “Once the battle begins, I will inject energy into the Resonance Stone, which will make it easy to find me.”
“Understood.”
Leo Ray nodded again without hesitation and agreed, “I will do as you say when the time comes.”
“Mr. Lane, are you not afraid that after I go back, I will join forces with the White Knight to set a trap, luring your powerful subordinates into it?”
Seeing Leo Ray’s unwavering eyes, a trace of surprise swept across Brocade Winthrop’s eyes.
“From the moment I decided to meet with you alone, I have trusted you completely. I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
Leo Ray smiled slightly and replied, “Not just me, but Princess Ariel, General Burt, General Joshua, and everyone who knows your usual character also think so.”
Of course, Leo Ray’s words could only be described as insincere.
When Brocade Winthrop proposed this condition, Leo Ray had already considered the possibility of the other party setting a trap.
However, the other party’s lineup consisted of only one Tier 5 powerhouse, the White Knight.
On his side, there were Taylor and two others, along with his own various abilities. Even if they set a trap, it would just be digging their own grave.
At least in small-scale encounters, facing the Great Prince’s forces led by the White Knight alone would give Leo Ray a significant advantage.
In the face of uncertainty, Leo Ray would naturally not take any naïve actions, as he was no longer responsible for just himself.
“The fact that Mr. Lane can trust me so much really comes as a bit of a surprise.”
Examining Leo Ray’s calm, unwavering eyes, Brocade Winthrop sighed softly with her brows lowered.
Compared to the extremely suspicious Great Prince, this young Mr. Lane was clearly the more convincing and resourceful one.
Pausing for a moment, Brocade Winthrop’s delicate cheeks showed a touch of determination again as she continued, “Mr. Lane, I have two small requests, and I hope you will agree to them.”
“Tell me, as long as I can do it.”
Leo Ray looked at Brocade Winthrop’s fair witch face, which had been perfectly disguised by illusion, and nodded again.
“The first request is that although I have agreed not to take action against you and Princess Ariel’s faction, I hope you will not ask me anything about the White Knight’s layout and future plans.”
Brocade Winthrop’s expression became solemn as she said in a firmer tone, “Although I don’t want the Great Prince to ultimately ascend to the throne, the White Knight has been my friend for over a decade. It took a great determination for me to make this decision, so please understand, Mr. Lane.”
Pausing for a moment, Brocade Winthrop added, “Of course, I will not tell the White Knight what you said tonight. Naturally, I also hope that you and Princess Ariel will succeed, but if you can’t even get past this hurdle, then there will be no hope of vying for the throne.”
“You’re right, so you won’t favor either side, right?”
Leo Ray pondered for a moment, nodded, and replied, “A reasonable request. I can promise you that.”
