Chapter 700 “I’m serious.”
“Josiah, what do you mean by this?” She curtly turned around and looked at him.
“Nothing.” “But it’s not that you don’t know that I would rather you treat me coldly and ignore me like before, or
even despise me. That way, at least I still have some freedom.”
Josiah said calmly, “You’re right. I have nothing on you anymore, so I can’t do to you what I did in the past.”

Josial cooperated and nodded. “Strange. The pain is really gone. Don’t tell me our princess knows magic!”
