The brothers couldn't believe that Hans had thrown his hat into the ring for their sister's favor, their eyes widened with surprise.
"I might not have tduring the holidays," Arabella said.
Sean immediately chimed in with concern, "Do you still have work left undone? Just say the word, and I'll take care of it for you!"
Arabella knew Sean was omnipotent in Belloria, but this was something she had to do herself to show her respect for the princess.
"I need to make a trip to Belloria the day after tomorrow."
She had to deliver a finished dress to the princess in person.
"I'll cwith you!" Sean declared.
Belloria was his turf, and while the brothers knew they couldn't compete with that, their gazes held a hint of doubt.
"You're injured, can you really protect our sister?"

"Sis, maybe you should consider me?" Chasel suggested. "You know the strength of the crew | command. Together, they're no less
capable than Sean. Plus, we specialize in stealth. We won't make a move unless you're in danger, so nobody will even notice us."
"Sister, it should be Carol andwho escort you," Clark offered, "You're well aware of our skills. At the very least, we're better
than an injured Sean, and we won't need Chasel to mobilize an army, which might spook the enemy."
"You could also ask that guy who helped you out the other day," Hans hinted.
Just the guy himself could be Arabella’s assistant.
"Belloria is my domain. Do you really think any of you know it better than | do? Is it even possible for something to happen to sis on
my watch?" Sean retorted.
But before Sean could finish, Hans coolly asked, "What about that unfinished building incident?"
"And sis hurt her arm!" Chasel added.
Clark jumped in, "Sis and | have a better rapport. We work twice as well together!"
"How long have you all been by our sister's side? Can't you givea chance? The holidays are coming up, and she'll only be gone
for a short while. Are you really going to fightover this?" Sean argued, feeling slightly aggrieved as he turned to Arabella. "Sis,
backup here. They're bullyingbecause they're older!"
Older by just a year or two, maybe three—and he called that “older”? The brothers clenched their fists, holding back the urge to hit
him.
"Sis, I'm only free these few days. What if | must go abroad for an emergency after the holidays? Letspend smore time
with you." Sean appealed to their sympathy. "My heart suddenly feels so painful; it must be from their teasing. What if my wound
reopens while you're away? Please, letescort you."
Arabella couldn't help but smile at the sight of the usually cool and aloof Sean showing this side of himself, "OK."

Sean thought he'd misheard. Overjoyed, he looked at his sister, "Then I'll go get ready! You're the best!"
After saying that, he cast a triumphant glance at his brothers. See? His sister favored him the most! Who had the most weight in
her heart? Now they should know.
The brothers couldn't believe such a small matter had made him this happy. After watching him leave, they turned to Arabella.
"For other trips, you can count on Hans."
"Chasel is at your service anytime."
"Clark's available, too."
Back in his room, Sean called his men in Belloria, instructing them to be on high alert and ready for a 24-hour duty to ensure his
sister's safety.
He then opened his suitcase, carefully packing all the clothes, pants, and socks his sister had gifted him, not missing a single item.
Just then, a servant knocked on the door, delivering several jackets.
