The Lost Heir: Battle Of Royalties - Chapter 152

Shenna, the lady spy working under Sargon muttered before walking pass through Sargon.

Earlier, Leon saw the young lady tending the plants at the guesthouse garden. He was planning to gather some fresh flowers to put inside Diana’s room when he suddenly saw the lady host watering the plants.

“Hi.” He shyly greeted the lady who only glanced at him emotionlessly. “You’re Shenna, right? Mr. Sargon told me your name and if it’s okay can I —-”

“I’m not interested.” She cut him off. “I’m not interested to be friends with you, not even your lover.” She looked at him indifferently.

He was caught off guard. He never thought the lady would be this straightforward. Now he doesn’t know what to say anymore. He suddenly felt ashamed.

“Do you like me, young man?” The lady furthered. “If you do then please do your best to forget it, I’m not interested with you at all.”

“Don’t you think it’s too early to say that?” Leon doesn’t know where his confidence came from at that moment. Maybe his overloading humiliation built buoyancy that caused him to answered back without any restrictions. “It’s true that I like you the first time I saw you. Who wouldn’t appreciate a beautiful lady at first glance? But now, that impression was changed by that foul mouth of yours. Don’t worry, I don’t have any plan pursuing such an ill-mannered beauty like you. It’s a shame to have a beautiful face with a rotten attitude.” The man hissed mocking the woman’s confidence before walking around to search for some flowers.

“Who would want to spend some time with a cold-brazen lady? That would be a waste of time. Tsk!” The man added. Disgust could also be seen on his face. But before he even moves his feet, he looked at the defeated young lady once again.

“Oh! Anyway, do you know why letter A comes first before Letter B?” The woman looked at him puzzled.

“That is because, A.T.T.I.T.U.D.E comes first before B.E.A.U.T.Y!” He ended his speech with a sarcastic smile and started to picked flowers.

Shenna, the lady spy gnashed her teeth in annoyance. Did that brat just call him a cold-brazen lady? And what? Spending time with her would be a waste? She wanted to spank the young man but she tried her best to control her emotion.

Arguing with the young guy is just a waste of her precious time.

“You should at least learn how to smile from time to time.” She heard the man who was busy picking up some flowers. “It’s a good exercise and it looks good on you too.” He smiled without looking at the woman.

Shenna stared at him. His sweet words somehow got her but she made sure to look unaffected.

“Who gave you the right to pick flowers?” She diverted the topic.

“I have the old man’s permission.” He grinned.

Shenna raised her brow. How dare him address her master as an ‘old man’? That’s disrespectful! She wanted to reprimand him but she remembered that they don’t know anything about her master yet. She needs to be careful.

“What a rude guy!” She yelped before leaving the man alone.

Unknown to her, Leon raised his eyes and watched the woman as she walked away from him. Her face tells him that she was greatly displeased.

He sighed in relief. That was unexpected and he never knew he could even say such a thing to the woman.

He must admit that he’s totally into the woman and despites being cold and harsh towards him, he still wants her. He lied when he said he’s not interested in her anymore just to protect his pride. He’s a man after all.

“I’ll make sure; you’ll regret your words today.” He grinned confidently.

AS FOR SHENNA, she went back to the guesthouse via the backdoor. She was obviously upset over something. Unknown to her, Sargon had been watching from a corner.

“Why don’t you try getting to know him a little more? Who knows he’s the one you’ve been waiting for?” Sargon chuckled teasingly.

“Not in a million years!” Her voice tells Sargon that she’s quite irritated but not because she was not interested. “I don’t like brats younger than me.”

“Phew… Brat!” The old man spoke in a taunting manner. “But you don’t have to break his heart that way. That’s harsh, you know.” He grinned.

“It’s better to nip an unrealistic dream in a bud while it’s early.” Shenna emotionlessly replied before walking pass through the old man.

He smirked as he watched the lady’s retreating figure. And as soon as she took a left turn, Sargon went to see the young man picking up some flowers.

“And how’s your conversation with the lady? Have you succeeded?” He asked teasing the man.

“I think you already knew how it went.” He sighed. “But I won’t give up. I kinda like her hard-to-get attitude. It’s challenging.” He chuckled.

“That’s the spirit.” The old man tapped the young man’s shoulder. “Since you’re determined, I’ll give you a tip.” He smiled.

“Make sure it will work.”

Sargon smiled. “You must be stronger to protect her. You might not know but that lady is a fighter too.”

Leon raised his brows confused but before he even asked some more, Sargon left.

‘Eh? Shenna? Shenna is a fighter?’ He pondered.

He was wearing a smile when he entered the room.

Liam was holding a tray of food when he went inside Diana’s room. And with a smile, he greeted the lady.

“Good evening! How are you feeling now?” He placed the tray of food at the bedside table then sat on the edge of the bed. Diana was sitting on the bed when he came in.

She awkwardly smiled a little.

“I brought you something to eat. It should help you recover fast.” He then picked up the spoon and scoop a spoonful of rice and vegetable and moved near her mouth. Then he motioned the woman to open her mouth.

Is he feeding a little kid? Diana thought for a second before opening her mouth to receive the food.

Though Liam can feel the awkwardness on behalf of the woman, still, he feels happy to see her respond.

“L-let me do it, I’m not handicapped.” She softly muttered and was about to grab the spoon from the man but he moved it away from her.

“I know you’re not handicapped but I can also see that your arm is in a bad shape and the physician said not to stress you out, so let me feed you until you recover.”

“I hurt my right arm but not my left hand!” She pouted cutely.

“Still, I want to serve you…” He smiled before he lowered his head in guilt. “At least let me do this… for now.”

She can sense his deep guilt and that stirred her curiosity as to why. And of all the people she saw when she woke up, this man has been her constant visitor and helper as well. Just who is he in her life?

“I know you can’t remember anything yet, but I just want to let you know how happy I am right now to see you alive. I thought I would never see you again, but thank you… Thank you for being alive.” His sincerity touched the woman’s heart.

She suddenly felt a little tingling within her. Not sure why.

She didn’t say a word not because she doesn’t want to talk to him but the thing is, she doesn’t know what to say.

Once again, he motioned her to open her mouth for another serving which the woman obeyed hesitantly. Liam made sure that she would finish her food and drink her medicine after.

“T-thank you.” She muttered. It was almost a whisper but Liam was able to hear it.

“My pŀėȧsurė.” He smiled before fixing the woman’s bed. “It’s time for you to sleep now. Take a good rest and tomorrow, I’m going to take you for a walk to get some fresh air.”

“Ehm.” The woman nodded while Liam helped her lay down on the bed.

“Good night Diana.” He bended down and planted a quick kiss on her forehead.

She jerked in surprise and unconsciously pulled the blanket and covered half of her reddish face. The man’s sudden action may have surprised her but her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Liam noticed her reddened cheeks therefore he smirked within him. Looks like Sargon was right. Though the mind forgets, the heart remembers!

“I’m going now. Sweet dreams.” He then stood up and walk towards the door. And as soon as Diana heard the door closed, she immediately brought down the blanket. She felt hot all of a sudden!

“Why am I acting weird towards that guy?” She pondered silently. Well, she admits, the guy was obviously the most good-looking man among them all.

Guess she’ll have to ask the others about that guy and why does he have such an impact to her.
