Chapter 291: Leo’s choice (1/2)

Author: M_W Cancer

The moment Leo walked far away from the command tent, he can't help clinching his fist out of anger.

In the past, they decided on who he should marry. At that time, he didn't disagree with that because it wasn't a big deal at all, since no matter who he will marry, whether he loves them or not, wouldn't matter because he would eventually learn how to accept and love them in the end.

However, this time, it was what path in the future he should walk forward. This was something that only he should have the rights to decide, no one can make any decision for him about this, not unless he asks for them to help him decide.

Although he fully understood that Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, Madam Silva, and Elder Rain only meant good to him, but that still doesn't give them the right to decide what he should and shouldn't do, or even think of restricting his actions, especially if it's related to people he cares about.

”Leo?” Cassandra who saw Leo clinching his fist suddenly called out.

Hearing Cassandra's voice, Leo slowly turned around.

Cassandra turned serious the moment she saw the look on Leo's face, ”Tell me, what happened?”

Leo breathed in and out before replying, ”Cassandra, how about you tell me what choice I should make? Should I just stay on the sideline, watch helplessly while one of the person that I cared about is being used? Or should I step forward and do everything to help them?”

”Is that even a question worthy of questioning about? If you ask me that question instead, then my answer is; I will not hesitate to help those people that I care about! Why? Because I'm not a heartless person. In the past, before you forced me to see the current reality of my life, I would have only thought or view others as mere tools to help me take back the Crimson Rose Kingdom. But the current me wouldn't think of doing that anymore, because the most important thing for me right now are the people I currently care about.” Cassandra replied. She then suddenly asked, ”Anyways, why are you asking me that question?”

Leo blinked a few times after hearing Cassandra's words. He then suddenly chuckled at himself, seemingly in self-mockery.

”Hey! Why are you laughing at my answer? I know that it's such a cringe, but that's indeed my- ”Before Cassandra could finish her words, Leo suddenly pulled her towards him before pressing his lips against her's.

”Thank you!” Leo said gratefully the moment he pulled his lips away from Cassandra's.

”I...” Cassandra was unable to think of any reply after Leo suddenly kissed her lips. Noticing that her face had turned burning hot, she quickly covered her face before quickly running away.

Seeing Cassandra's embarrassed auction, Leo simply laughed loudly before walking away.

”Why was I indeed even thinking of those depressing thoughts? HAHAHAHA!” Leo mocked himself again, ”If I want to save someone, then I should save them to the best of my ability! No one can stop me, whether they are my parents, my older brother, my Master Olivia, or any of my women!”

Without thinking any further, Leo finally made his own choice, to save Veronica and Princess Tiana.

.....

”Ar... are you sure of what we are doing, Leo?” Cassandra who was still embarrassed about suddenly being kissed by Leo can't help asking.

”Yes!” Leo replied with a smile on his face.

”Wouldn't this be dangerous?” Elizabeth followed up with another question.

”Yes!”

”Wouldn't this anger everyone else?” Angel asked.

”Yes!”

”Wouldn't it endanger our lives?” Ash asked.

”Yes!”

”This might cause us to lose this war, right?” Charlotte asked.

”Yes!”

”Then why exactly are we doing something as stupid as this?!!!” Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, Ash, and Charlotte exclaimed out loud in unison.

Leo quickly covered his ears, in fear that his eardrums might explode with how loud Cassandra and the others shout was.

”Indeed, Leo, shouldn't we just listen to what everyone has told us to do?” Ethan asked.

”I also agree with what they said a while ago, because if it was Ethan that was threatened to be bed by someone else's, I would definitely not hesitate to save him!” Princess Elaine added.

”Why would I even get rape?!!” Ethan turned towards his wife, Princess Elaine, and asked.

”Oh, then do you want me to be raped, instead?!” Princess Elaine replied in a sarcastic tone.

”That...” Ethan was immediately rendered speechless by his wife's words. He of course doesn't want his wife to be raped, but that also doesn't mean it's okay for him to be rape, right?

”Pft!” Brad, Jasmine, Jeffrey, Matt, Venice, and Number One to Number Ten can't help holding their laughter down.

”It's not funny!” Ethan turned to look at them.

”It is!” George chuckled.
