Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 4019

Grunt hid his anger well beneath the surface as Daryl was bestowed the honor of Prince Consort.

However, when Daryl was forced to take up the job of scouting the mountains, he knew that his shot at revenge had come.

“Great! Grunt, you do not disappoint! I bestow upon you the title of acting general” said the Emperor as he nodded.

After thanking the Emperor, both Grunt and Daryl left the Jade Fairyland to prepare for their mission.

As they were both walking out of the Jade Fairyland, Grunt could feel Daryl sizing him up in silence.

Daryl was confused by Grunt’s actions. After all, he did take the princess away from Grunt, but instead of being hung up on getting his revenge, he decided to help him on this mission instead?

Daryl’s inquisitive gaze caused Grunt a great deal of discomfort.

“Prince Consort, why are you staring at me? Is there something wrong with my face?” asked Grunt.

Daryl was not going to beat around the bush, he spoke his mind and asked Grunt for his reason for willingly accepting this suicidal mission.

Grunt took a deep breath and put on his best fake smile, “Prince Consort, both you and the princes are a match made in heaven. You were destined to be together.”

“I did once, fell in love with the princess, but somebody like me could never hope to have anything more with the princess. Unlike you, you were chosen by the Emperor,” explained Grunt.

Grunt tried as hard as he can to make sure that his acting stayed genuine and did not betray his true intentions.

Daryl was not going to fall for such a naive ruse, “Really?”
