It was ridiculous for her to worry about his safety! Seeing her going silent, Christoff warned her again, “I told you not to drag me into this! If you have a death wish, don’t try to use me as your shield!”
Olivia glared at him angrily. “Who said I was going to drag you into this?” Christoff exuded a hostile aura, and his tone was aggressive. “We were tied together from the moment we entered the door. You are my girlfriend now, and I don’t care whether you have a death wish or not. I, for one, am not tired of living yet!”
Olivia took a deep breath and calmed herself down. He was right! She shouldn’t be impulsive now because she wasn’t Olivia.
Sensing her discomfort, Christoff softened his voice. “Let’s see what Eugene has to say first. If he’s willing to be engaged to Princess Azalea, you should just get a new boyfriend. Why must you hang on to him tightly?”
Olivia eyed him askance. He somehow gave her the feeling that he was gloating about the situation. With a suspicious look, she questioned, ‘How did you know Eugene was here? Was this your plan all along?”
Christoff’s eyes wavered before he looked her in the eye again while defending himself, “Even though Nambahd isn’t big, it’s still a country! You think too highly of me, Olivia. I’m not that capable of controlling how the royal family does things.”
Olivia merely looked at him. Even though Samuel Court wasn’t comparable to Promise Island and Double Dragon Court, they were still ranked among the top three in power, let alone a small country as Nambahd. Even other countries were intimidated by them.
Of the three major forces, which one did they not want to win over? Why else would Sirius give up his daughter willingly to win over Eugene?
Nevertheless, there was no guarantee that Christoff and Sirius didn’t conspire against Eugene. Seeing how the suspicion in her eyes only grew stronger instead of dissipating, he questioned, “Would I even take you here if I was involved in the conspiracy?”
Olivia countered, “Maybe you just wanted me to see what Eugene was really like so that you can sow discord!”
Christoff mused, As expected of Eugene’s little girlfriend. An evil smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he placed a hand on the wall. “What do I get for sowing discord between you and Eugene?”
Olivia glanced at his propped arm and spat. “This is what you get!” Christoff smiled and withdrew his hand. “Do you think I would conspire with the King of the City to get my hands on you?”
“Not just me, but you also want to take revenge on Eugene,” suggested Olivia. Christoff withdrew his arm and gazed at her with a smile. “Why would I take revenge on him?”
Olivia sneered, “Wouldn’t it be boring to make things clear?”
“I have to admit that you are meticulous and clever. He indeed came to me in desperation, but I am not a fool to cooperate with him. Now that he doesn’t have true powers, he has to rely on external forces to fight against the King. How many people do you think dare to go against the King? Don’t you think he resorted to Eugene because I rejected him? Alternatively, he could be using Eugene as bait to attract more people to support him,” explained Christoff.
Olivia pondered for a moment and realized that his words made sense. If Sirius intended to work with him, he wouldn’t have facilitated the engagement between Eugene and Princess Azalea. His move was obviously to win over the hearts of the people.
When everyone saw the King of the City has such a huge support, they would certainly bring. others along to support him. In that way, he could achieve more by doing less..
However… She still wasn’t sure if Christoff was involved in the process. Staring at him, she questioned, “Do you swear that Eugene being here has nothing to do with you?”
Christoff panicked discreetly, but he answered without hesitation, “Yes.’ That earned a nod from Olivia as she warned, “Good. I’ll believe you this time, but you better not let me discover you are involved in this matter, or I will not consider you as a friend anymore.”
