750: Protecting Him With Her Life!

Protecting Him With Her Life!

Princess Daisy's face turned cold.1

She stared at Karl and said directly, "Karl, today I must protect him! You cannot lay a hand on him!"

Princess Daisy had never been so assertive before, which made Karl couldn't help but take a few more glances at Ye Xie. Suddenly, he understood who Ye Xie was. He smiled and said, "I see, so he is the Chinese guy that Princess has a liking for, right? In that case, it's actually possible to spare his life."

Daisy's face brightened, "That's great. Ye Xie, hurry and leave."

But Ye Xie didn't move and continued to look at Karl with a faint smile.

Karl spoke, "Princess, everything comes with a price. I can spare his life, but are you willing to listen to me?"

Daisy was stunned. She suddenly realized that Karl intended to keep Ye Xie and use him to threaten her!

Daisy's expression grew even uglier. She could allow Karl to manipulate members of the royal family to threaten her, but she couldn't allow him to imprison Ye Xie!

Ye Xie had been treated as a bargaining chip since he was young. He was taken away by Ye Zhenzhen as soon as he was born, lacking freedom. Later, his mother forced him to study in Country Y. The thing he cherished the most in his life was freedom.

He had only tasted freedom for a short time, how could he be trapped again because of her?

Daisy firmly refused, "No! He must leave today!"

Karl narrowed his eyes, "That depends on whether I allow it or not, Princess Daisy. You don't have the power to say the word 'must'!"

Daisy's gaze dimmed.

She suddenly turned her head to look at Ye Xie, gave him a faint smile, and then looked back at Karl. She took out a close-fitting dagger from her skirt.

The dagger was extremely sharp.

Karl sneered, "Princess, have you never practiced martial arts? Do you think you can break through alone?"

After he said that, Ye Xie's face behind Daisy changed drastically.

He stepped forward abruptly, "Daisy, don't!"

But the next moment, Daisy placed the dagger against her own neck!

Her action made Karl nervous and furrowed Ye Xie's brows.

Karl shouted, "Princess, what are you doing?"

Daisy's face was resolute, "If you don't let him leave, I will die here today! I believe the Karl family definitely doesn't want to bear the reputation of assassinating the princess, right? The people of Country Y won't allow it either!"

Now it's a free society. If the Karl family goes too far and arouses the people's unrest, it will be difficult for Karl to seize control of Country Y!

This is not an era where those with power and influence can do whatever they want!

Karl narrowed his eyes, "Princess Daisy, even if you die, there is still your sister and the queen. Do you think your actions will make a difference?"

Ye Xie also stepped forward and spoke, "I don't need you to do this. Put down the dagger immediately, to prevent harm to yourself!"

But Daisy turned back to look at him and smiled bitterly, "Do you think I'm being foolish and powerless with this? But Ye Xie, this is the only way I can protect you..."

After saying that, tears flowed from her eyes.

She truly regretted it!

If she could survive today, she would exert her utmost power to seize control!

Ye Xie clenched his jaw and looked at Daisy like this, feeling a surge of warmth in his chest.

Over the years, his mother had always asked him whether he liked Princess Daisy or not, but he couldn't give a definitive answer. 

The word "love" was too heavy for him. Besides his family, he didn't trust anyone else, so it was difficult for him to truly open up. 

He had a fondness for Daisy, that was certain. Otherwise, when they were young and just starting to understand things, he wouldn't have constantly teased her and pulled her hair like an immature teenager. But there was always something missing when it came to love.

At this moment, however, Ye Xie finally understood his feelings for Daisy. He loved her. 

When she was willing to sacrifice her life to secure his freedom, his heart skipped a beat. He stared intensely at Daisy, wanting to see through her face.

Even Karl didn't dare to approach and quickly thought about something. "Princess, please put down the dagger. I'm only inviting Mr. Ye Xie to visit the Karl family. He won't be harmed."

"No!" Daisy's voice was resolute. "He must leave Country Y today. Otherwise, I will definitely die. I will also livestream it for the entire nation to see how you forced me to my death!"

Karl became angry. "Daisy, do you really think highly of yourself? Livestream? I brought a signal jammer. Do you think you can still do it?"

Daisy paused for a moment. Karl continued yelling, "Furthermore, if you die, I can easily claim that this Chinese boy is the murderer! You have no real influence in the palace. Do you think the truth will be known to the people? Daisy Princess, I advise you not to overestimate yourself!"

As Daisy listened to these words, she felt even more desolate. Yes, now she didn't even have the right to convey the truth...

The young maid beside Daisy started crying. "Princess, please don't do anything foolish. We will be fine. Please don't do anything reckless..."

The veins on Daisy's hand holding the dagger bulged, and she looked at Ye Xie again with a more determined gaze. "I will count to five. If you don't release him, I will shed blood right here!"

As soon as she said this, Ye Xie sighed suddenly and lightly patted Daisy's arm. "Daisy, it's okay. I'm here."
