The moment Leo walked far away from the command tent, he can\'t help clinching his fist out of anger. 

In the past, they decided on who he should marry. At that time, he didn\'t disagree with that because it wasn\'t a big deal at all, since no matter who he will marry, whether he loves them or not, wouldn\'t matter because he would eventually learn how to accept and love them in the end. 

However, this time, it was what path in the future he should walk forward. This was something that only he should have the rights to decide, no one can make any decision for him about this, not unless he asks for them to help him decide.

Although he fully understood that Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, Madam Silva, and Elder Rain only meant good to him, but that still doesn\'t give them the right to decide what he should and shouldn\'t do, or even think of restricting his actions, especially if it\'s related to people he cares about.

"Leo?" Cassandra who saw Leo clinching his fist suddenly called out. 

Hearing Cassandra\'s voice, Leo slowly turned around.

Cassandra turned serious the moment she saw the look on Leo\'s face, "Tell me, what happened?"

Leo breathed in and out before replying, "Cassandra, how about you tell me what choice I should make? Should I just stay on the sideline, watch helplessly while one of the person that I cared about is being used? Or should I step forward and do everything to help them?"

"Is that even a question worthy of questioning about? If you ask me that question instead, then my answer is; I will not hesitate to help those people that I care about! Why? Because I\'m not a heartless person. In the past, before you forced me to see the current reality of my life, I would have only thought or view others as mere tools to help me take back the Crimson Rose Kingdom. But the current me wouldn\'t think of doing that anymore, because the most important thing for me right now are the people I currently care about." Cassandra replied. She then suddenly asked, "Anyways, why are you asking me that question?"

Leo blinked a few times after hearing Cassandra\'s words. He then suddenly chuckled at himself, seemingly in self-mockery.

"Hey! Why are you laughing at my answer? I know that it\'s such a cringe, but that\'s indeed my- "Before Cassandra could finish her words, Leo suddenly pulled her towards him before pressing his lips against her\'s. 

"Thank you!" Leo said gratefully the moment he pulled his lips away from Cassandra\'s. 

"I..." Cassandra was unable to think of any reply after Leo suddenly kissed her lips. Noticing that her face had turned burning hot, she quickly covered her face before quickly running away. 

Seeing Cassandra\'s embarrassed auction, Leo simply laughed loudly before walking away.

"Why was I indeed even thinking of those depressing thoughts? HAHAHAHA!" Leo mocked himself again, "If I want to save someone, then I should save them to the best of my ability! No one can stop me, whether they are my parents, my older brother, my Master Olivia, or any of my women!"

Without thinking any further, Leo finally made his own choice, to save Veronica and Princess Tiana. 

.....

"Ar... are you sure of what we are doing, Leo?" Cassandra who was still embarrassed about suddenly being kissed by Leo can\'t help asking. 

"Yes!" Leo replied with a smile on his face.

"Wouldn\'t this be dangerous?" Elizabeth followed up with another question.

"Yes!"

"Wouldn\'t this anger everyone else?" Angel asked. 

"Yes!"

"Wouldn\'t it endanger our lives?" Ash asked.

"Yes!"

"This might cause us to lose this war, right?" Charlotte asked.

"Yes!"

"Then why exactly are we doing something as stupid as this?!!!" Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, Ash, and Charlotte exclaimed out loud in unison. 

Leo quickly covered his ears, in fear that his eardrums might explode with how loud Cassandra and the others shout was. 

"Indeed, Leo, shouldn\'t we just listen to what everyone has told us to do?" Ethan asked. 

"I also agree with what they said a while ago, because if it was Ethan that was threatened to be bed by someone else\'s, I would definitely not hesitate to save him!" Princess Elaine added. 

"Why would I even get rape?!!" Ethan turned towards his wife, Princess Elaine, and asked.

"Oh, then do you want me to be raped, instead?!" Princess Elaine replied in a sarcastic tone.

"That..." Ethan was immediately rendered speechless by his wife\'s words. He of course doesn\'t want his wife to be raped, but that also doesn\'t mean it\'s okay for him to be rape, right?

"Pft!" Brad, Jasmine, Jeffrey, Matt, Venice, and Number One to Number Ten can\'t help holding their laughter down. 

"It\'s not funny!" Ethan turned to look at them. 

"It is!" George chuckled. 

"Indeed!" Charles added. 

"I never thought that Prince Edward would indeed be treated by his wife like this. This is exactly what the rumors had said!" Karl joined in. When the discussion about the strategy about the battle against the Silver royal family was over, Leo immediately called him and informed him about his plans, which he agreed in the end. That\'s why he was here right now.

At this moment, Leo along with Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, Ash, Charlotte, Ethan, Princess Elaine, Brad, Jasmine, Jeffrey, Venice, Matt, Gemini Dagger George, Claw of Cancer Charles, and Royal Magical Knight Karl was currently traveling in the Hundred Hills straight towards Heart city. 

His exact plan was to arrive at Heart city first before the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance could arrive in order to prepare themselves as they would be infiltrating the Silver city to save Veronica and Princess Tiana. 

Since Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, Madam Silva, and Elder Rain were completely against him volunteering in rescuing Veronica and Princess Tiana, then he would do it before they could do any action to stop him. Although they were not against the plan of rescuing Veronica and Princess Tiana, he just can\'t feel assure if it was other people who would rescue them. In his opinion, aside from him, it would be next to impossible for others to successfully rescue them. He wasn\'t speaking arrogantly, he just doesn\'t see who else has the capability of going in and out of Silver city without getting caught by the Silver royal family. Of course, except for Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, Madam Silva, and Elder Rain. 

"Stop interrupting us!" Cassandra and the others shout in irritation, causing everyone else\'s to stop talking. 

The moment they noticed that they finally stopped talking, Cassandra then continued, "If you know that it is dangerous, that it will anger everyone else, that our life would be at risk, and that it might cause us to lose this war, then why are we doing this?" 

"Is that even a question worthy of questioning?" Leo smiled mischievously while repeating Cassandra\'s exact word before, "Remember your reply?"

"But that was only to console you! If I knew that you will be doing something as stupid as this, then I would have told you to do the opposite!" Cassandra exclaimed. 

"Is that so?" Leo said while taking a slow step forward towards Cassandra. 

Noticing this, Cassandra can\'t help taking a step back, "What... what are you trying... to do...?"

"Isn\'t it obvious?" Leo smiled mischievously while slowly reaching out his hand, intending to pull Cassandra towards him. 

Cassandra quickly jumped back and hid behind Elizabeth, "Okay, okay, okay, it\'s my fault for encouraging you to do that!"

"Encouraging him to do what?" Everyone turned to look at Cassandra. 

"To do everything, he had to save Veronica!" Cassandra loudly revealed. 

"Then that\'s great!" Elizabeth quickly turned around and hug Cassandra. 

"I can\'t argue with that." Angel nodded as she also agreed with what Cassandra had said. 

However, Ash was still completely against it, "Why would you even say that?!" 

And so was Charlotte as she added, "Indeed, the risk completely outweighs the gain!"

Hearing that, Cassandra\'s head suddenly began twitching out of irritation, "Then tell me, what if you both are in Veronica\'s shoes, do you want Leo not to save you?" 

"That..." Ash and Charlotte were completely unable to refute Cassandra\'s words. If it was indeed them who was threatened to be used as a tool to control their family while having someone that can save them, would they actually not desire to be saved by that someone? Of course, they want, especially if that someone was Leo!

"Oh, see, you also want to be saved! So, stop being a hypocrite and just help us save Veronica! She is also one of your future sisters, so you obviously wouldn\'t let anyone harm her, right?" Cassandra pointed at Ash and Charlotte. 

"Exactly!" Elizabeth\'s supported. 

"Yes." Angel added with the same cold tone. 

Seemingly like experiencing a 360 degrees turn, Ash\'s eyes lit up before saying with a clinched of her fist, "Indeed, no one can hurt one of our sisters!" She then suddenly turned to look at Leo, "So, Leo, you should save her no matter what!"

"Indeed," Charlotte suddenly seconded, "The only person who can hurt our fellow sisters is Leo himself, and it is hurting us through pleasure! Ehem! I mean, if we do something bad, only Leo can teach us a lesson and not someone else!"

At the side, everyone was speechless at the reaction of Ash and Charlotte. It really looked like that they are in peace with each other, but in actual fact, it was obvious to see that they just want to look good in front of Leo.

"Luckily, I only have one wife to worry about!" Ethan heaves a sigh of relief. 

"Oh, then were you actually planning to have more?" Princess Elaine said before smacking Ethan\'s head, and what followed after was Ethan running away while screaming for his life. 

"Ahmed should only have me!" Jasmine silently whispered. 

"Youth, what a good thing to have!" Jeffrey said while walking away towards a flower as he can\'t help remembering his dead wife.

Venice secretly turned to glimpse at Matt as she whispered, "This guy better not have thoughts on having another woman."

"I should only think of having only one woman in my life!" Matt realized something while looking at Leo. 

"Is having a woman really this troublesome?" George asked Charles. 

"That\'s why I only go into brothels, at least over there I don\'t need to worry about the woman after having fun with each other!" Charles nodded his head. 

"They are indeed troublesome" Karl voiced out his trouble. 

"Jealous!!" Number One to Number Ten voiced out their jealousy.

With that said and done, Leo and the others finally continued with their journey to Heart city.
