Chapter 252
Meanwhile, at the same time—“Quinn?”Valentina, who had just stepped out of the car, frowned when she saw her older sister coming from a different direction than she should have—her head lowered, her face tense, as if she were holding back shattered emotions.Valentina might have only found out two days ago that the woman just a year older than her was her biological sister. She might have only grown close to Quinn over the past three months.But she knew very well that Quinn was not someone who easily appeared shaken—let alone weak.Quinn was a very strong woman.And if there was anyone similar to her, it was their mother.Seeing her sister’s expression now, Valentina felt as if her own heart were in pain.Now she understood just how deep Quinn’s anxiety was at the thought of this forced engagement with the prince.But at the same time, she also realized the opposite.So your feelings for Martin run that deep?Valentina bit her lower lip as she shook her head weakly.Whether she lik

“You don’t need to worry. Something like that won’t happen again.”Even though he said it with a serious expression, his overly casual tone still left Lana unsatisfied.She knew Martin very well.A man who would never hesitate to sacrifice himself for his team would never just stand by and do nothing if something happened to her.And that was exactly what made her uneasy.“Martin, please. Promise me, okay?”Not only did her pleading expression make her look like she was about to cry in desperation, but her hands—once resting on Martin’s shoulders—now moved down to grasp both of his hands.“I really don’t want anything to happen to you. I…”She wanted to say that she was extremely anxious right now.Not seeing him for three years had only made it harder to face the thought of being separated from him again.And there was a reason why a Spectre like her was acting like a sulking child.Because of what Martin had done—pressing the alarm button—Jayden had punished him by assigning him out

And now, a girl with such charm was standing right in front of her husband, placing her hands on his shoulders—showing a gesture far too intimate to be called merely an “old acquaintance.”Not just her—any wife would surely think the same.“That girl… Lana, right?”Walking beside the palace officer, Quinn lowered her head, her face tense with the storm of thoughts raging in her mind.“And that look…”Martin might possess an extraordinary mind for reading patterns. But a woman—especially someone with thoughts as complex as Quinn—also had an equally sharp ability to read human emotions.She might have never met Lana in person before. But just from the way that girl looked at her husband, it was already more than enough to make one thing clear.That girl had very deep feelings for him.“No. Why am I thinking like this right now?” Quinn thought, the corners of her eyes beginning to moisten. “I shouldn’t be thinking such things… not about Martin.”Her husband had never mentioned having any

Two months earlier.“Quinn, the reason I allowed Gianna to stay here is actually because…”Over the past month, as Martin’s relationship with his wife had grown much closer, it felt rather odd to have another woman—especially someone as beautiful as Valentina—living in the same house with them.That was why Martin gave a brief explanation, saying that the girl might be in serious danger if she were to live outside on her own.“I’m a former soldier,” Martin continued, feeling that there was no longer any need to hide his identity from his wife.Of course, he didn’t say anything about Spectre or that he had once been number one in Norvia’s most elite military unit.Not for any particular reason—just that it was all in the past, and he didn’t think it was important enough to tell Quinn.Not only that.Martin also showed a few photos—very few—that remained from his past, one of which was taken during a mission in a region of Asia.“Hold a second,” Quinn said, who had been leaning against

Thirty minutes later, the two cars began entering the special district reserved for the royal family.For a full kilometer leading up to the palace, red flags were placed along the roadside every ten meters.Naturally, that made Silvana even more uneasy.This is bad, she thought.The palace never did this unless they were welcoming a prospective new member of the family.That meant they were already very certain about arranging the prince’s match with her daughter tonight.And that forced Silvana to think very carefully about what she should say—if she didn’t want to ruin everything.As they passed through the palace gates, dozens of attendants stood along the road, as if waiting for their arrival.“This is starting to feel way too excessive,” Silvana muttered, unable to hide her anxiety any longer.Her unease only grew stronger.Not even a prime minister would receive such a reception.What she was seeing only reinforced her fear that the engagement would truly happen tonight.Just a

Although he wasn’t among the invited guests—and bringing someone without an invitation could cause serious trouble—Martin’s presence at the palace had actually been part of Silvana’s plan from the beginning.Her plan was simple.Tell the truth—that Quinn was already married. Bring her husband and proof of it. Then hope the royal family would reconsider their arrangement.But wasn’t that full of risks?If the royal family insisted on continuing with the engagement, not only would their plan fail—it would also put Martin in danger.The royal family wouldn’t hesitate to eliminate a man they now saw as an obstacle.“No… I can’t let that happen,” Quinn murmured softly as she pulled her phone back out of her bag.She really wanted to ask her husband for help.But she wanted even more for nothing to happen to him.If she had to choose, she would rather see him safe than risk his life for her.“I have to tell him to go back home immediately and not go anywhere.”She couldn’t send a voice mess
