At this moment, after hearing Princess Tiana's explanation, Leo could only turn his attention towards Elizabeth, who was currently wearing a solemn face which was really curiosity inducing.

'Why would she even be wearing such a serious face, she wanted me to die all this time, right? So, she should be joyous that the second son of the Crystal Skull Noble Household, Richton Skull, was keen on killing me!'

”Can you explain to me Princess Tiana about this so called 10 years of secretly protecting me? Please honor this humble Viscount with the explanation Princess, I'm really curious about when, how, and why it all started.” Leo said as he bow his head a little towards Princess Tiana to show that he beg to know from the Princess the reason behind this so-called 10 years of secretly protecting him.

”Since you don't know about it, then let me explain.” Princess Tiana said while looking up at the sky before finally turning her head to face Leo.

”10 years ago, after your parents died and hearing the news about it in Silver Kingdom. My father, the King, and also your father's friend, quickly ordered some soldiers to secretly protect you and your brother to honor their decades of friendship. Unfortunately though, the people tasked to protect your brother didn't reached him in time...”

”After that, those people that was supposedly going to protect your brother was quickly ordered to just focus on protecting and assisting you. At that time, you were still 8 years old, losing both your parents and brother, you were obviously lost and was wandering around aimlessly. No clear path yet, unable to make a step, and was clouded in judgement due to the devastation. So, we arranged everything to make your life easy!”

”Contrary to our expectations though, we actually don't need to assist you. You didn't lose your hope at all, and had instead rise back on your own two feet and was quickly able to become the rightful ruler of Heart city!”

”Although, through cruel methods and the likes...

”However, seeing your growth, it still made my father pleased and happy. So, he quickly called back all of his men that was secretly protecting you back at the time. He had already understood that you don't need anyone's help at that point, hence no need for him to interfere about.”

”3 years later, my father was already expecting that you will send out a case about your brother's death the moment you fix everything in the Heart city, which he had long made preparation about,” Princess Tiana said before pausing and turning her head towards Elizabeth.

Instead of showing anger on her face though, Elizabeth was actually showing a face of sadness and secretly whispered something only she and Princess Tiana knows, which the latter could only shook her head in pity as a response.

”When you reached 10 years old, which was the said year that you will be married to Elizabeth, the Crystal Skull Noble Household had suddenly blocked the Snow Noble Household's path to Silver city, causing them to delay your predestined marriage. It was also the day that you have submitted the case about your brother's death...”

”Choosing between sending an assistance to Snow Noble Household or to assist your investigation, my father, the King, had actually chosen none. The help that you receive in the investigation was already a planned help that was long been set to happened, which includes making you catch the perpetrators tail and cutting out the help out of nowhere...”

”Helping the Snow Noble Household was also not possible, since as a King, it would be showing bias to a Noble Household. So, father didn't send out any! And assisting your investigation any further was useless too, since your still blinded by your anger at that time...”

Hearing the explanation about 8 years ago about when the Silver royal family cut the help they provided out of nowhere and using the excuse that they can't afford to lose a pillar of support, Leo finally understood the reason why and which pilar of support the King really meant about.

He was indeed clouded by anger back at that time! In fact, even up until now...

So, if the King had indeed assisted him in his brother's case until they finally catch those criminals, then he would have recklessly attack those people who had killed his brother the moment he found out about them. In the end, he would just die since he was absolutely not a match to them.

Hence, what the King had done was the best solution.
