Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 1166

Fletcher could not help walking forward and scolded Darryl while pointing at him," How could you solve it if all of us couldn't? Don’t make a fool of yourself. Step back at once!"

Fletcher felt that the eunuch was just trying his luck to get the Empress's reward.

At the same time, all of the officials scolded Darryl, too.

"That's right. Why is this eunuch trying to be a fool?"

"Do you know what the consequences are if you aren't successful?"

"How rude you are..."

Everyone was busy shouting. Darryl could not help but laugh quietly as he looked around. "So when none of you were able to succeed, no one else is allowed to try? I'm very confident I will succeed. Besides, I'm not trying to show off. I'm doing this to save the South Cloud World's reputation."

When he said that, Fletcher and the rest were rendered speechless. Darryl knew clearly what Fletcher and the rest were thinking. They were worried that if he succeeded, it would show how useless they were.

The truth was Darryl had no intention to show off. However, when he heard the Empress mention a reward, Darryl had a deep thought. It was almost impossible for him as a lowly eunuch to get the Dragon Essence back from Quincy, but if he had recognition from the Empress, he might have more opportunities to approach Quincy and get back the Dragon Essence! "You really have a solution?" the Empress asked calmly, looking at Darryl.

Darryl did not speak but nodded.

Seeing that, Princess Evergreen stepped forward and could not help but say," Mother, please let him try."

When she said that, Princess Evergreen could not help but take a look at Darryl.

In the beginning, Princess Evergreen thought Darryl was just fooling around. After she saw how confident Darryl was, she changed her mind. She would be proud too if he succeeded—he was her personal eunuch after all.

"Alright then! I approve. But if you fail, you will be taken away from the palace and be executed right away," the Empress nodded after listening to Princess Evergreen.

The matter might seem small, but this was about the South Cloud World's reputation.

'Executed? Luckily, I know the solution; otherwise, I would have gambled my life away.'

Hearing that, Darryl's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm and respectful." Don’t worry, Your Majesty, I will not disappoint you."

Fletcher and the rest were smirking. They could not hide the contempt on their faces.

'A eunuch is trying to impress the Empress. He's just waiting to be decapitated!'

They felt that Darryl was only pretending to be calm and that he did not have the solution at all.

Yoel’s expression was also full of disdain!' If the officials didn't have the solution, how would a lowly eunuch be able to do it? He's just going to make a fool of himself.’

Darryl was not bothered by all the looks of disdain from everyone. He took the Nine Curves Jade and red thread. He took a look at them and said to the Empress, "Your Majesty, can you please get someone to prepare some honey for me."

'Honey? What for?' everyone wondered as Fletcher and the other officials looked at each other.

Fletcher could not help but tease Darryl," Hey you, are you trying to feed yourself, knowing that you'll be decapitated?"
