It would be a disaster if Laborn found out that Nathaniel was hiding in Lebanon's palace!
At this thought, Nathaniel frowned slightly as he didn't understand why Laborn was doing this. Did he find out that Nathaniel was hiding here?
Wait... did someone betray him and informed Laborn about his whereabouts?
Suddenly, Nathaniel thought of Priscilla, but he immediately shook his head.
Even if Priscilla disliked Mango, or even if she picked on the latter, Nathaniel was still confident that she wouldn't betray him.
Then why would Laborn come here?
Nathaniel had no answers to this question.
Meanwhile, Lebanon didn't know about Nathaniel's concern at all. Instead, he had an indifferent look on his face, but a sarcastic gaze flashed across his eyes briefly.
Although Laborn said that Mango was an outsider himself, he didn't even believe his own son. Moreover, he still intended to intrude search through Lebanon's palace to find some evidence that his son was going against him?
Heh! This was the so-called fatherly love that he had mentioned.
What a joke!
Fortunately, Lebanon didn't get his hopes up just now. Otherwise, he would have felt heartbroken again.
On the other hand, Lebanon was confused when he noticed that Lebanon only sat at the side. Lebanon did not stop Laborn from doing anything, so the latter couldn't help but frown.
Did he make a wrong guess?
Didn't Mango and Nathaniel rescue Mckenzie?
Also, did Lebanon have nothing to do with them?
All kinds of questions flashed across Laborn's mind, while Lebanon was looking calm and unbothered. This was probably because he had no idea that Nathaniel was hiding in his place either.
After that, patrolling guards quickly came in and began to search his palace.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel was all tensed up.
Suddenly, he felt someone pulling his sleeve.
Nathaniel immediately turned around and wanted to counterattack. However, it turned out to be Mango.
"Mango!"
Nathaniel's heart was filled with surprise. He was relieved to have finally found her, but he was also relieved and nervous.
It would be great if Mango had appeared before Laborn arrived. However, they were currently caught up in a risky situation.
"Follow me then."
Mango seemed to know what he was thinking as she tugged at him gently while saying these words.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel didn't suspect anything and followed Mango out quietly. However, he was surprised when she led him into a secret passageway.
How did Mango know about such a place?
However, Nathaniel didn't ask anything. He confidently followed Mango out of Lebanon's palace. After walking out, Nathaniel saw a sweet girl standing outside. Then, the girl finally heaved a sigh of relief as both of them escaped safely.
"You're finally back! My father didn't find out that you were there, did he?"
Prisca asked with a concerned expression on her face.
However, Mango shook her head and said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Highness."
"Since you are Lebanon's subordinate, it's my duty to protect you."
Prisca smiled faintly as she said this.
On the other hand, Nathaniel instantly realised the identity of the woman before him. However, he was a little surprised. How did Mango meet Prisca?
When Mango saw that he wanted to question her, she said softly, "Well then, Princess, we'll be returning back first."
"All right."
Prisca did not stop them from leaving.
After that, Nathaniel followed Mango into the room. When he saw that Mckenzie was safe, he couldn't help but sigh in relief.
"Mango, what's going on?"
Mango whispered in reply to his question, "When we were at the junction, Priscilla's men did not come to escort us. Instead, we encountered the patrol team. At that time, we didn't want to cause any trouble for Priscilla so we decided to stay hidden. Luckily, we were saved by Prisca. Prisca is one of Lebanon's allies, so you don't have to worry about her."
Mckenzie furrowed her brows lightly when she heard what Mango had said.
How could this stupid woman try to protect Priscilla? Didn't she realised that Priscilla was trying to harm her and replace her as Nathaniel's wife?
Oh, well. No one knew what Mango was thinking.
However, Mckenzie rarely interfered with other people's relationships.
Hence, Nathaniel was a little stunned when he heard this.
Wait... did that mean that Priscilla didn't do this?
He looked into Mango's eyes and muttered, "Mango, you're my wife. Do you still remember what I said? You shouldn't keep all the grievances to yourself, and you can tell me anything ."
"I'm not! I'm telling the truth. Look, if you don't believe me, you can ask Aunt Mckenzie."
Mango decided to drag Mckenzie into this conversation.
On the other hand, Mckenzie was speechless.
Why was Mango dragging her into this issue right now?
Was she going to deceive Nathaniel about Priscilla's true colours for the sake of this foolish woman?
"I'm going back to my room. You love birds can talk about this yourselves."
Mckenzie got up to leave after saying this as she did not want to get involved.
Well, Nathaniel was uncomfortable with Mckenzie's presence. After seeing her leave, he carefully examined Mango. He was relieved when he found out there were no injuries on her.
"Did Priscilla harm you in anyway?"
"No. She's your subordinate, so why are you suspicious of her?"
Mango directly denied it.
After all, Nathaniel owed Priscilla his life. Therefore, she didn't want him to fight against his saviour because of this. Furthermore, he felt that it was also unnecessary to involve Nathaniel in a fight between women.
On the other hand, Nathaniel still didn't believe her words.
