Neil turned back and saw Helene, who was glaring daggers at him with her hands on her hips.
Neil was annoyed that he was hit for no reason and wanted to vent it on someone, but he had goosebumps once he
saw Helene’s temperament…
“Let go of her!” Helene shouted stubbornly, “Let! Go!”
Neil was frustrated. He would have lashed out if it was a usual day, but it was strange today.
Helene, who was pale and fragile, seemed to tower over him somehow. He could only stare at her without being
able to get a word out.
After a long time, Neil could only say, “W-What are you doing?”
Helene harrumphed loudly and shoved him away to put herself in front of Aurelia.
Her frail body formed a stark contrast against the tall and muscular Neil.
It was just that she did not seem afraid at all facing this big man.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNeil could not help thinking of a story. A hunter was hunting in the forest. His hound had found a baby bird that had
fallen to the ground from its nest and was going to sniff it out when the mama bird flew over, fluttering its wings
and chirping loudly to protect its chick.
The hound was tens of times bigger than the mama bird, but it was stunned by the bird’s presence and stood
frozen.
Helene, who had her arms spread wide, was really like that mama bird…
Neil furrowed his brows and had an odd feeling out of the blue.
Aurelia grinned and put both hands on Helene’s shoulders to ask her to put her arms down.
“Princess Lene, what’s wrong?” she asked softly. “Oh, you haven’t met him? Do you remember the uncle that I
always mention?”
Helene pursed her lips and blinked but shook her head in a daze.
“I’ll introduce the two of you to each other formally then!” Aurelia hooked arms with Helene. “Uncle, you have to
bow to Princess Lene!”
Neil was reluctant, but she was an actual royal and Alexander’s aunt, so he bowed according to the royal family
protocol.
Aurelia beamed. “Princess Lene, he’s Neil Harris, General Noah Harris’ son… You know General Harris, right?”
Helene’s gaze flickered. Noah’s name took her back to her carefree teenage days. She was not quite clear with the
fragments of memory in her mind, but Noah was a loyal and brave warrior from what she could remember.
“General Harris, I know,” she murmured softly, looking up at Neil. “But he’s… not as handsome as General Harris!”
“What did you say!?” Neil raised his voice.
He had been good-looking for so many years and sought after by hundreds and thousands of fangirls. Even when
he starred in a bad guy role, his great looks could influence the audience’s values.
This was the first time in his life that someone said he was not handsome! How could he swallow such an insult!?
“Not handsome!” Helene repeated. “Not handsome, bad guy! You wanted to bully my baby just now!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNeil was simply bewildered. “What?”
“Uncle!” Aurelia shot him a look and told him barely above a whisper, “Don’t be so serious with Princess Lene. She’s
not in a clear mind. Why must you fight her? Can’t you just give in?”
“You…”
“Princess Lene’s baby is that pillow.” Aurelia smiled. “But sometimes, she calls me baby too!”
Neil was helpless and disgruntled.
“Bad guy, you bully my baby!” Helene went up to punch him.
Neil could only let her hit her. Aurelia had spoken, after all.
Helene ran off after two punches. Before Neil could react to it, she ran back out with a few mini garments.
“Bad guy, don’t leave!” Helene sounded righteous as she stood tall and proud in front of him.
Aurelia was surprised. “Your Highness, you…”
Helene told her very seriously, “Bad guy bullies baby. Needs to be punished!”
Neil felt a headache coming. He really did not want to stay there and play games with a crazy woman.
