Chapter 857: Dagger

Since Duke Phil didn't actually complete the transfer of power, Leandro didn't become the Grand Duke that night. Confused and angry, he went and tried knocking into Lily's room, asking for a meeting. However, the two guards who were standing outside of their room immediately stopped him, Leandro resorted to shouting instead of knocking. In the end, the guards had to forcibly pull him away from the door so he won't be able to disturb Lily.

"Let him in." Zhou Jingren's voice immediately made the two guards let the drunk prince go.

"Hmph!" Leandro grunted as he tried to stand up. "How dare you hurt me? Do you really think so lowly of me?"

"They do think that lowly of you." Lily's voice reached their eyes. "It's already late. A few minutes past midnight and yet you dared come in here while drunk."
