Andressa smiled a grin. This is what he had been waiting for. He wanted to know what the real reason Leyna invited him to the palace was.
"Please tell me, Your Majesty. I don't know at all the purpose and reason you invited ordinary people like me to the palace" Andressa said.
"I'm offering you a partnership."
Leyna looked at Andressa with a proud and confident look.
"Cooperation?"
Leyna nodded.
"Yes, cooperation. I'll help you get your peerage and expand your clinic's influence. As long as you want to work under my orders, not under the Emperor's orders" Leyna explained.
Andressa let out a slow breath. It was true her guess that Leyna would try to pull him to her side.
"I'm sorry, Your Honor, but I don't want to be your anj*ng" Andressa said calmly and emphasisfully, with a faint smile curling across her lips.
The girl did not have the slightest fear against Leyna. Until that very second, Leyna's friendly expression turned cold. He no longer stared at Andressa using a look of eyes tinged with falsehood. Right now he is showing off a part of his true self.
"You sure you rejected my offer? There is no harm in being my faithful anj*ng. Commoners like you need this kind of thing, right? Take it easy, I won't let your life be miserable working under me."
Leyna was still trying to persuade Andressa. However, Andressa has confirmed his decision.
"I'm sure because I don't need any of that. I can get it even without you once. After all, why do I have to work under you? Could it be that you want to overthrow the Emperor's power?"
"How can I overthrow the power of my own son? Please don't make it up." Leyna denies Andressa's allegations.
"really? But it is clearly visible in your eyes. I also know how bad your relationship with the Emperor is. Even if you deny it once, the objection contains a lie. Then as long as you know, I have actually been by the Emperor's side."
Andressa sipped casually the cup of tea served to her. Like a nobleman, Andressa increasingly highlighted the side of noble etiquette in him.
"It turns out so. No wonder why you rejected me so blatantly. It doesn't matter, but you don't blame me if you get unexpected events that might destroy your clinic." Leyna bullied Andressa using a powerful killing aura.
Andressa was undaunted by Leyna's bluff.
"I'm not afraid because I'm sure you won't be able to touch my clinic let alone destroy it."
Andressa got up from her seat.
"I'm withdrawing. Please don't try to threaten me with such cheap bluffs. I don't know in the future I can be as crazy as you try to touch my territory" Andressa pressed and warned.
Andressa left the room without waiting for the next response from Leyna. The girl just passed by and made Leyna annoyed by her actions.
"Damn it! Basic lady jal*ng! He seems to have no fear. All right, I'll show him how much I have influence. After all, he was just a commoner. No one would bother him if he died," Leyna grumbled with both hands.
Meanwhile, at the same time, Lorcan waited for Andressa to come out of the palace of the Leyna residence in a state of heart wracked with anxiety.
"What's going on over there? Is that woman going to attack or kill Andressa?"
