Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Call Madam!

He was not afraid of death, nor of defeat, because he had never thought about failing. It seemed he was born to be a ruler, so this weak emotion shouldn't belong to him.

However, the moment he decided to be honest with her, he truly felt apprehensive and terrified. He was afraid she'd be angry, that she would consider everything deception, and that she wouldn't want to marry him anymore.

But all that apprehension and concern disappeared when he heard her words "I believe you," and was replaced with peace and joy.
