Chapter 595
Athena looked at Ferris and felt lost mud helpless. The sheer vulnerability in yes sent a sharp ping through Fer’s heart.
Then, Ferris Bashed Athena playful smile and said, “Come on, Athena, I was just messing
you. Did you really take me seriously
Athena thought, As if I couldn’t tell whether he was joking or not ”
Athena let out a soft sigh and said to Ferris, “Tenis, think carefully. Marriage is for life. If it were anyone else, uldn’t try to talk you out of it, but the isn’t right for you. She doesn’t deserve you p>
Athena
genuinely wanted to help him. She felt that a mantike Ferris deserved far better than this.
Ferris gazed into Athena’s crystal clear eyes, and a wave of bitter rose suddenly washed over him
She thought, If only I’d married Athena soones. Would we have spent our lives together?
“But life is full of missed opportunities. Back then, I have been too cowardly and too weak willed, only have myself to blame
Ferris looked out the window as a carriage approached in the distance, his eyes flashing with something unreadable
When Ferris looked at Athena again, his expression was tinged with guilt. “Athena, there’s no need to persuade me further. My mind is made up
Athena was at a
La loss for words.
She really didn’t know what to say.
A heavy silence fell between them, broken when Jossa entered the room. She cast a penetrating glance at Ferris.
Then, Jessa stepped up to Athena and whispered urgently, “Princess Lizzie has the entire building surrounded. Har people are swarming auhide. If your try to leave e now, you’ll walk right into her trap p>
Athena nodded slightly, making it clear she had no intention of clashing with Lizzie
Athena thought to herself, She came prepared. Of course, I should avoid direct confrontation with her, especially now, with her wedding to Ferns just around the corner.
Jessa paused briefly, then whispered urgently, “Prince Xander is here too p>
“Prince Xander?” Athena’s face registered surprise, as if a sudden realization dawned on her. Her gue instinctively flickered to Ferris
Ferns, however, gazed out the window with feigned nonchalance, Remembering the subtle shift in his expression earlier, Athena let out a slow breath,
Now she finally understood why that flicker of guilt had crossed Ferris’s eyes just moments ago.
“You’re the one who tipped off Price Xander, aren’t you p>
Athena said sharply,
A flicker of panic flashed in Ferris’s eyes. “Atheny, why would you
aw that?
Athena bit her lip. She thought, ‘I don’t want to think ill of Ferris, but I can’t just stand by and let him use Prince Kander
With Ferris now wielding immense power, it was hardly a challenge for him to keep his movements hidden
Under Athena’s clear and piercing gaze, all of Ferris’s schemes were laid bare.
Ferris finally came clean. “Only Prince Xander can rein Lizzie in just wanted to teach her a lesson, Athenry. Believe me, I never meant to take advantage of you p>

Chapter 595
Even as he spoke, Ferris’s words lacked conviction. Disappointment flashed across Athena’s eyes.
Athena slowly shook her head and said to Ferris, “You can use me if you must, but don’t you dare use Prince Lander for your own chanel starting to think I don’t really know you at all p>
Ferris called out in panic, “Atheny, are you angry with me p>
Athena didn’t turn back, her delicate brows knitting. “But you shouldn’t have schemed against Prince Kander if he lays a hand on Lion tat surely rouse the Emperor’s wrath p>
With the fall of the Monson and Osborne families, there was no one left in court who could keep ander in check.
The imperial family abhorred any monopoly of power. That was precisely why Arthur granted Ferris the title of Prince of West
Arthur wanted Ferris to compete with Xander, so he could be the ultimate winner.
Xander was far too sharp not to have seen through this.
But Xander simply let Ferris reap the easy gains and chose not to say a word.
