The next day, Leo soon woke up from his good sleep.
Looking around, Leo quickly found himself sleeping on his bed in the Heart manor. He quickly understood that it was the soldiers with them last night that had took him and Cassandra back to the Heart city, and that it was also Butler Xiao who had carried him from outside the Heart manor to his bed last night, since it was only Butler Xiao and the other three, specifically Kevin, Fatty Ben, and Van, who were permitted to get inside the manor.
Yesterday was really full of mess, but Leo didn't regret anything he did to Cassandra. It was a must for him to try and make her realize something. If he had allowed her to continue acting wilfully, then a day would surely come that she would encounter a bottleneck that she can never overcome in her entire life. The same goes for him; a day would also come that his life would be threatened due to her wilful act.
If only Cassandra made a move yesterday, then Leo wouldn't have had any excuses to use any force to educate her, and would have instead just allowed time to teach her slowly.
Too bad it wasn't the case...
Getting out from his bed, Leo quickly went to the bathroom to take a bath. After he finished fixing himself, he then went downstairs to the kitchen to eat his breakfast.
Leo was really starving at this moment, since last night in the Crescent Moon Dining he wasn't able to eat his lunch-dinner because of those 5 men who had disrupted his time when he was waiting for his food to arrive.
Coincidentally, when Leo arrived in the kitchen, Cassandra was currently eating her breakfast. He only ignore her as he sat on his usual chair and began eating soon after.
”Sorry... And thank you...” Cassandra said silently as soon as Leo sat on his chair.
Cassandra had realized a lot of things after she suffered from the punishment of the Blood Contract yesterday. She was indeed still acting like a princess, and was also only showing a little bit of respect towards Leo.
It was only because Cassandra still had this little hope that things would end soon. It made her think; since she would soon return back to Crimson Rose Kingdom and become its rightful ruler, hence there is no need for her to act like a slave to Leo.
However, reality was cruel. Cassandra finally understood last night that taking back her Kingdom wouldn't be that easy. After that punishment of the Blood Contract, she finally realized that it actually required her to take one slow step at a time to become strong, and becoming strong wasn't something that she could just achieve tomorrow, after a week, a month, or even a year later, too. Moreover, even if she indeed became strong, what could a single person even do? Even if she could really take back her Kingdom too, with no one helping her, its destruction would still happened sooner or later.
”I was really willful... No, a bit willful, just a bit willful...” Cassandra silently added.
Hearing what Cassandra has said, Leo immediately showed a smiled towards her as he breathed a sigh of relief and replied, ”As long as it helped you.”
Leo was really relieved knowing that Cassandra understood why he did all of those things to her. Well, she wouldn't be the called as the strongest among the current young generation of the Crimson Rose Kingdom if she was a narrow-minded person.
Actually, Cassandra wouldn't be able to really understand Leo's intention on punishing her if Butler Xiao didn't explained to her about it last night. She might even hate him right now because of the somewhat unreasonable punishment he did.
Last night, Cassandra was told a lot of stories about Leo from Butler Xiao.
It was Butler Xiao that had also carried Cassandra to her room last night. But, she woke up along the way. When Butler Xiao noticed that she was awake and that the night was still young too, and just maybe because he had also felt pity towards how his Young Master had treated her cruelly, so he decided to tell her about Leo's past.
