Chapter 2136
Right now, in order to save the empire and her family, she needed James to return with her. “S-Sir.” Laelia could not bear to wait any longer and had to speak up.
Her voice shook James from his thoughts. He opened his eyes slightly to look at Laelia and asked quietly, “What’s the matter, Your Highness?”
There was a hint of pleading in Laelia’s slightly awkward face. She said, “When I escaped from the capital, the capital was already surrounded by Dark Keep’s cultivators. It has been three days since then. 1-I’m worried that the capital has met with misfortune.”
“So, you want to hurry back immediately?” James glanced at Laelia.
He could see that Laelia was very anxious, however he was also calculating. Could he use Laelia’s anxiety and worry to make another deal with her and trick her into giving him the Burial Jade?
Laelia was unaware of the Burial Jade’s history, but he knew about it. It was something that even the creator of the Celestial Abode had laboriously sought after.
“Yes.” Without regard for her appearance, Laelia immediately knelt on the ground. With a pleading look on her pretty face, she said, “Sir, please set out for Tabal’s capital right away and save the Targwyn family. If you can actually save my family, the Targwyn family will definitely repay you.”
The more worried and anxious Laelia became, the more indifferent James acted.
He wanted the Burial Jade. However, he could not be too obvious about it.
James wanted Laelia to take out the Burial Jade and give it to him voluntarily.
“Your Highness, it’s been three days. If anything were to happen to the Targwyn family, it would have happened already.”
“But…” Laelia was extremely anxious.
James interrupted her with a small wave. He said, “Don’t worry. It’ll be alright. We’ll leave at dawn.”
Laelia let out a sigh of resignation.
