It turned out that Second Prince wasn’t planning to give up on David Clark yesterday; instead, he had come up with a clever way to win him over—one that wouldn’t offend William Scott, yet would make David Clark willingly offer his advice. That method was seduction.

While Rose Harris was lost in her thoughts, David Clark had already swallowed the last bite of food and began to speak: “Princess, is there something you need?”

“…Would you take a walk with me?”

William Scott looked at the two people not far away, but his mind was elsewhere. He really hadn’t expected that Henry Harris would even use his own sister. Henry Harris was Second Prince’s real name.

Seduction, huh? Impressive—using the Nine Heavens Enchanting Bones to seduce someone. Who could possibly resist that? What William Scott worried about was David Clark.

In the study of physiognomy, there is a type of woman whose appearance is irresistible—or nearly irresistible—to men. This is what’s called a naturally enchanting bone structure.

Every woman born with this rare and unique feature is incomparably beautiful, naturally alluring, and an absolute stunner. With every gesture, she can captivate men across the world, becoming a legendary beauty of her era.

And in the legends of legends, among all those with naturally enchanting bones, there is an even rarer existence: the Nine Heavens Enchanting Bones. As for the truth behind this, no one really knows.

Because of his private friendship with the late king, he knew many real secrets about this royal family—many, many things. And when Rose Harris was about eight years old, he saw her face and understood why the late king insisted that she cover her face after the age of five. Sigh, there was no other choice. Otherwise, not only would there be war—even her so-called brother might…

William Scott watched silently, still following quietly behind.

“All right, Princess, just tell me what you want.” David Clark spoke as he kept glancing around, sometimes even looking up at the sky.

“…How did you know I had something to say?” She deliberately added a cold tone to her voice, but in her heart, she didn’t want to sound that way. Why? She couldn’t say.

“Of course I knew. Think about it—if I were next to you, and I kept saying ‘mm’ or ‘uh-huh,’ those little sounds, wouldn’t you think I had something to say? Heh.” David Clark’s gentle smile wasn’t as handsome as when he didn’t smile, but it made people feel at ease.

“I…I don’t want to talk now, is that okay?” Rose Harris pouted slightly and smiled as she spoke. So annoying—have I always been like this?

“If you don’t want to talk, then don’t. I’m busy right now, so don’t bother me.” Now wasn’t the time for conversation. Coordinates, coordinates—where are those coordinates?

It turned out David Clark was using the satellite imaging function, all thanks to the super watch on his wrist, which was connected to the satellite’s main computer and constantly displayed the places he wanted to see.

All right, the enemy army will arrive in about ten days, so my plan can be carried out. The last hurdle is: how do I get Second Prince to agree?

“Hey!” A sudden loud voice in his ear nearly deafened him.

He quickly turned his head and saw the princess right beside him, looking rather angry.

“Ah…”

“Ah what? Didn’t you notice there’s a beautiful woman next to you? Why are you daydreaming? You should…”

David Clark was stunned for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses. “Heh, then what do you think I should do?”

Yeah, what do I want him to do? Be completely smitten with me? No, I want to see him like that, but I absolutely don’t want to become a tool for the royal family. But why? When I see that he’s not interested in me at all, I get so angry. Sigh! What am I even thinking!

“All right, Princess, I know your brother sent you here to seduce me. But tell him I’m not that kind of person. Even if I help him, it won’t be for any reward. And Princess, don’t you feel sad? Why don’t you refuse your brother’s request? You should have your own courage.” David Clark smiled at Rose Harris and turned away.

Maybe David Clark often pretended not to understand anything, or acted like a child, but in reality, he understood everything better than anyone, and knew exactly what to do.

Is it because I lack courage? Maybe. But I do want to resist—then what? Aren’t I still trapped in this so-called royal prison? And right now, the most hateful person is this guy with the mischievous smile. So annoying.

“Yunyang.” The gentle voice made David Clark turn his head. When he saw the beauty before him, he knew he would never forget her for the rest of his life.

Yes, this girl was my first love. That was the first time I saw her. So, I could never forget her.
