On the other hand, Priscilla didn't care who was the leader of Angolla, as long as it was not Laborn. Since Lebanon was already determined to usurp the throne today, she would definitely help him.
"Lebanon, what are you planning to do? I have some people who can help you."
After hearing this, Lebanon looked at Priscilla with mixed expressions.
He had once thought of using Priscilla's power to clear the obstacles that were getting in his way. However, her identity was different right now.
She was the person Tristan cared about.
He knew that Priscilla had grown up in the palace and was familiar with it, and he believed that Priscilla could help him. Furthermore, he knew that he could quickly take control of the situation with the help of Priscilla. However, Lebanon still gave up this thought.
"Nah, you stay and take care of him."
While saying this, Lebanon could not help but frown slightly when he saw Tristan's pale face.
Alas! Tristan shouldn't have ended up like this!
He should be high and mighty above others as everyone would look up to him. However, he was now lying there weakly, and he needed other people would take care of him.
Suddenly, Lebanon felt that Tristan, who was weak in front of him, was a bit of an eyesore.
On the other hand, Priscilla looked at the emotions flowing in his eyes and whispered, "Teagan will take care of him, and the Acker family are all here. They can..."
"They are not you. Well, I think that the person he wants to see the most is you. It would be best if you stayed here. This is my private residence, so make sure your people protect this place well. Once the battle starts, I might have to bring all the troops with me, and I won't be able to take care of this place."
Priscilla paused for a moment after hearing what Lebanon had said. Well, she knew that he didn't want her to get into danger.
"Alright. Let me know if there's anything that you need. I've already sent people to collect evidence of Atlas framing the Acker family. Atlas probably can never remain in Angolla based on this crime alone. Although the Acker family is not a prestigious clan, the people would still not tolerate it if they learnt that Atlas wants to destroy it without proper evidence. Urgh! A cruel person like him doesn't deserve to sit on the throne."
Lebanon nodded at Priscilla's words.
"That's right. I'll take care of his affairs. Send me information anytime."
"Alright."
Then, the siblings shared the information they had with each other.
After that, Lebanon looked at Tristan again and whispered, "Will he be okay?"
"He will be."
Lebanon was relieved to hear Priscilla answering confidently.
"Take good care of him. I'm leaving."
Lebanon then turned around and left, and the worries on his face eased.
After all, he was relieved now that he knew that Tristan was safe.
On the other hand, seeing that Lebanon was leaving, Teagan quickly stepped forward and said, "Lebanon."
"Yes?"
Lebanon knew that he was Tristan's assistant and also Arlo's biological son. For many years, Teagan had given up his identity as the Acker family's heir and stayed by Tristan's side as an assistant. Therefore, Lebanon felt that he could get along with Teagan because of this.
Moreover, even though he was related to Tristan by blood, he knew that Teagan and Tristan had a better relationship than them.
Well, Lebanon was jealous. After all, he had been alone since he was a child. Previously, he had met Alfred, but the latter had passed away early. So he had mixed feelings towards Teagan as well.
On the other hand, Teagan also knew what Lebanon was thinking, so he couldn't help but whisper, "Tristan said this before. When the day that you were to storm the palace comes, the Acker family would be at the front line. I am now the Patriarch of the Acker family, and that person killed my father, so I'm requesting to join the fight."
A hint of resentment flashed in Teagan's eyes as he said these words.
Well, Lebanon knew about this.
So, he sighed and did not refuse Teagan.
After all, Teagan needed to get revenge for his father! Lebanon had heard that Arlo cared a lot for this son of his and wanted to give him everything that he lacked in the past, but this plan was destroyed by Laborn.
In fact, they had spent too little time together.
"Alright, but we have to ensure the safety of the Acker family. Therefore, you shouldn't rush to the front unless the situation calls for it. If anything happens to the Acker family, Tristan won't be happy."
Lebanon said as he knew how important the Acker family was to Tristan.
Teagan nodded gratefully after hearing what Lebanon had said.
He had then already acknowledged that Lebanon was the king of Angolla.
After that, all of them went out.
Meanwhile, Priscilla looked at their retreating figures as her heart was solemn.
The outcome of this battle would determine everyone's future.
When the doctor came, Priscilla realized that he was the best doctor in the palace. Lebanon had managed to invite him here, which meant that he was almost as powerful as Laborn now.
Well, she had underestimated her brother these past few years indeed. In fact, perhaps everyone had underestimated him too.
At this thought, Priscilla was no longer worried as she said earnestly, "Dr. Zhang, I'll leave this to you."
"I'll try my best, Your Highness."
Bettanythen saluted Priscilla and entered the operating room.
Priscilla was anxious the whole time the light of the operating room was on.
She didn't know how Tristan was doing, but she kept recalling their memories. She thought that two months was a short time, so she felt that there were not many memories for her to dwell on. However, when she looked back at what had happened, she found out that she could still remember every single emotion that Tristan had made.
It turned out that he had already won over her heart unconsciously, but she didn't know it, and she had always thought that the person she liked was Nathaniel. Fortunately, Nathaniel had no feelings for her. Otherwise, she would have become a real jerk.
At this thought, Priscilla chuckled. Luckily, everything had returned to its rightful track. Suddenly, she wondered how Mango and Nathaniel were doing.
Then, Priscilla video called Mango so that she could ease her nervousness.
On the other hand, Mango was slightly taken aback when she saw that Priscilla was in Angolla.
"Why did you go back?"
"I came back to get something."
Priscilla answered briefly and didn't say anything else.
Meanwhile, Mango also knew that this was just an excuse. After all, it was evident that Priscilla didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't want to push for an answer. However, she couldn't help but say, "Be careful. The situation in Angolla is quite complicated right now, and there might be internal strife. If you don't have anything else to do there, come back early."
"Alright. I came here to look for Tristan."
