Chapter 585: CURIOUS



Veronica couldn't help but feel sad for her friend. Some nobles would enjoy luxury but she knew him since childhood. He liked nothing more than the ocean. He would tell her stories we read about pirates and finding their hideout to get all the treasures pirates took.

"How about this? Hand over your duties to your brother and escape from your house," Veronica suggested. "You can go directly to the port. Find a job on a ship. They always need crews."

Eugene heard her imperative tone and realized that she was serious. The corners of his lips gradually spread, turning his lips into a half-moon shape.

"If I want to run away, will you help me?" he asked.

"Most certainly I will! What kind of friend do you think I am?" Veronica snapped.

"A scary one," Eugene answered without batting his eyes. Anyone who knew her since childhood would never trust her. He didn't want to leave his fate in her hands either.

Veronica coldly sneered. "Then, stay the rest of your life in the cage."

Eugene tried to appease her by saying, "Now, now, aside from duties, it's not that bad. You can eat whatever you want, do whatever you want, spend as much money as you want."

"Spending money on vanity," she scoffed, his words didn't please her at all.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

After being the second most powerful woman in Tybu, she still lived a simple life. She wore simple and elegant clothes with small sets of jewelry. Aside from imperial parties, she wouldn't prepare any fashionable clothes. She'd avoid going to tea parties and other evening balls to avoid having an extravagant lifestyle.

She crossed her arms, an act to hide her ring and said, "What? I like this ring."

"Where did you get it?" he suddenly became curious.

"It's a gift," she lied.

"A gift from a man?!" Eugene was genuinely surprised.

Veronica told him, "No, you remember Catherine? She gave it to me. I have no clue where she bought it."

"Ah, the blonde who always stuck to you like a glue." Eugene didn't seem to catch her lies. "I wonder where she got it. Do you know where she is now?"

"No," Veronica replied with a frown. She couldn't understand why he was so curious about the ring. "Why are you so persistent to find out?" she asked.

"This ring is so unique. It looks like an ancient relic. I want to know from your friend, Catherine if she bought it from the black market," Eugene stated.

"I didn't know that you had a thing for antiques. But I apologize, I cannot help you." Veronica

shrugged.

"Why not?"
