Chapter 859
Christoff took a glass of red wine from a waiter and approached the King of the City. Afterward, Olivia finally caught
sight of the man making the toast in the crowd. He appeared to be in his forties, was dressed in a dark suit, and
had neither greasy hair nor a bald head. It would be difficult to guess his cruel nature just by looking at him.
"Sir Sirius," he greeted him with a smile.
Sirius raised a glass with a grin and a toast. "Mr. Stevenson, did you just get here?"
Christoff smiled as he took a sip of his wine and responded, "Yes, I have just arrived." He embraced Olivia and
introduced her to him, "Margot, this is Sir Sirius."
Although she was not used to it, she still nodded slightly. "Hello, Sir Sirius."
He smiled as he looked over at Christoff. "Is she your girlfriend?" His voice was a little louder than usual, and there
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas an undercurrent of sarcasm.
Christoff smiled and replied, "Yes. My girlfriend."
"Very beautiful," Sirius praised her.
As if his girlfriend had just received a compliment, Christoff smiled as he tightened his grip on Olivia's arm. "If you
say so, Sir Sirius."
Sirius smiled politely and gestured to him. "This way, please."
"Thanks. We'll head in first," Christoff replied. Following that, he led her inside.
She asked, "Where is Azalea?"
Christoff glanced at her. "Do you want to see Azalea or Eugene?"
Olivia pushed his hand away and snapped, "What do you think?"
Would she have permitted Christoff to place his hands on her shoulders if she did not wish to see Eugene?
On the other hand, he wasn't the least bit aggravated by the situation. As he drew a chair, he inquired, "What's got
you so worked up? She'll appear when the time is right, and Azalea is Sirius' precious daughter. How could he be so
brazened as to parade his daughter around?"
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and people began filing out.
"Who is it?" she asked.
He arched his brow in apparent suspicion. "Only the King of Namb could cause such an uproar."
A statement like that caught Olivia off guard. "You did mention that the two engaged in a mortal struggle for the
throne, didn't you? Are they currently on good terms?"
Christoff snorted, "What do you mean by "on good terms"? They are merely putting on a show for the public. Sirius
still holds the title of King of the City, but he has no real power. This is why he wants to marry Azalea off to Eugene,
and if he can assist Sirius, everything will change."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe nodded in comprehension. It's no surprise Sirius dupes Eugene with such heinous methods.
"Let's go see what's going on." Then, the pair joined the rest of the crowd outside.
Everything unfolded precisely as Christoff had predicted. A man in his thirties, accompanied by a contingent of
guards, walked through the palace's main entrance. He had pointed eyebrows, bright eyes, a flawless face, and a
calm, collected demeanor. Olivia recognized at first glance that he was indeed Hayes, the King of Namb. She didn't
expect him to look so handsome, though.
Everyone greeted him with a slight bow of the head upon seeing him. "Your Highness." Even though the pair didn't
greet him, they followed the rest of the group in bowing their heads in respect.
Sirius hurried over to greet Hayes, and with a slight bow, he said, "Your Highness."
Hayes held Sirius up by the arm and remarked, "Uncle Sirius, you can call me Hayes."
Then, with a grin, Sirius said, "Okay, Hayes, please come in. Azalea has been whining about how she hasn't yet seen
you."
"I was preoccupied with some matters," Hayes answered.
"Step inside. I'll have someone bring her out," Sirius said.
