Felix chuckled. "You don''t need to tell me. Whatever story Lady N and I share, I don''t want to know."


    As if anticipating his response, Yvonne ced her hand on his thigh. "This is my mission, so please don''t make it difficult. What you do after hearing it is your choice."


    When Felix remained silent, Yvonne continued, "The parents who passed away weren''t your biological parents. Your true bloodlinees from the Greene family of Yartford- one of the most powerful families in Dragonia.


    "I know, but in my heart, I only acknowledge those two as my parents," Felix replied firmly.


    Yvonne frowned, not expecting


    Yvonne frowned, not expecting this response. The Greene family made a marriage contract with Lady N''s family years ago. Though no specific names were mentioned, ording to the agreement, you and Lady N are the intended couple." Felixughed bitterly. This exined N''s interest-like Xena, she was bound by a


    "Well, I''m honored! But given Lady N''s status and position, she probably just wanted to check on her potential spouse. She couldn''t have any other intentions," Felix said.


    Yvonne nodded slightly. "That was true before, but things are different now. I''ve never seen someone reject her twice, yet she seems more interested than ever."


    N had first invited Felix to dinner, which he declined, and then Dreamscape''s concert- Yvonne had thought N would finally give up, but instead, she sent Yvonne on this mission.


    Felix scoffed. "ying hard to get wouldn''t work on someone like Lady N. Besides, I''m not ying-I genuinely don''t want any connection with her."


    Sighing, Yvonne smiled wryly. "No one can understand her thoughts, not even me. I can''t answer that question."


    "Just tell me then-what''s this opportunity she''s offering?" Felix stretchedzily.


    Yvonne exined, "Your victory in the medicalpetition against Guneria proved you''re the most talented rising traditional medicine practitioner in Dragonia. Lady N offers to help you improve.


    "If you can surpass Brandon Quinn, Dragonia''s third-ranked master healer, within five years, she''ll consider you a potential husband candidate. Those were her exact words."


    Felix stared at Yvonne before bursting intoughter. "A potential candidate? If bing Dragonia''s third-ranked master healer only gets me consideration, it means either Lady


    N is crazy, or her confidence surpasses everyone else''s by miles."


    "She has earned that confidence," Yvonne replied seriously. "You haven''t even glimpsed of how powerful she really is.


    Felix shook his head and pressed the gas pedal. "Tell Lady N that I''m too lowly for her consideration. Since she doesn''t take the marriage contract seriously either, let''s leave it at that. Where should I drop you off?" However, Yvonne was not ready to give up. "Let me tell you more about Lady N. It''ll help you make a better decision. Anyone else would kill for this opportunity."


    "No need. And don''t bring it up again," Felix stated firmly.


    When they reached Yvonne''s ce in Canraville, just as she was about to open the car door, she suddenly grabbed Felix''s arm.


    "Felix, would you do it for me? If you gain Lady N''s approval... I''ll be yours too!"
