Chapter 5421
Monica was in a state of chaos, and she shook her head instinctively. "That won't do. The
Honorable Archfiend is in danger, and I can't return to the Dragon King Island..." 1
An unreadable expression appeared on Forsythe's face as he replied, "We won't be able to
change much if we return now. The Wishing Star Tower doesn't only have the Heaven
Watcher's soldiers, but also people from the Flower Mountain, Eternal Palace, and the
Hidden Hero Sect."
As he spoke, Forsythe gazed at Morticia's face. He could not help himself when he saw her
beautiful features and added, Don't worry, Empress. I'll spend the rest of my life chasing
after you and protecting you..."
As the final word rang through the air, Forsythe held Morticia closely as he moved his lips
toward hers.
Forsythe's heart was quivering then.
Morticia was not only his Empress but also the woman he loved and respected the most.
Forsythe had been deeply charmed by Morticia the second he saw her. The woman was
not only breathtaking but also incredibly strong. She was far too powerful, so Forsythe had

When he discovered that Morticia was one of the ten Fiend Martyrs, he was further
discouraged from furthering his affections. Since Antigonus came to the Sea Dragon
Palace and Morticia had given up her position, her status had swiftly plummeted.
Morticia had been isolated in the cabin in the past few days, which made Forsythe realize
that the incredibly strong woman actually had a soft core.
When Forsythe held Morticia earlier, he inhaled the waft of her fragrance and could no
longer hold back. He did not even care that Morticia and Darryl had a child together.
To Forsythe, he was willing to do or give up anything it took for Morticia to accept his love.
"You..."
Morticia’s body trembled at the sight of Forsythe coming closer and closer, and her
jumbled thoughts cleared up in an instant. Humiliation and rage washed over her like a
wave as she wrenched herself out of Forsythe's arms, roaring loudly, "How dare you?!"
Slap!
Morticia's palm swiftly landed a slap onto Forsythe's face with a crisp sound that rang
through the air, snapping Forsythe out of his haze instantly as humiliation washed over his
expression.
What had gotten into him? Why did he try to take advantage of the Empress?
However, he had not acted purely out of lust but out of true love. 1
Forsythe stumbled backward as he replied in terror, "Please forgive me, Your Highness... I
didn't mean to take advantage of you. It's just that I saw that you weren't feeling too
good, and I couldn't help myself... I... I'm truly in love with you, Your Highness-"
He had barely finished speaking before Morticia cut him off. "Shut your mouth... Forsythe,
you dare behave this way after the way I've treated you all along. I can't believe you tried
to harass your Empress." "Don't forget who you are. You'd be nowhere without me, merely
drifting around on the ocean."
As she spoke, Morticia's expression was full of nothing but outrage.
Antigonus was stuck in the Wishing Star Tower, which had already been enough to worry
her. And just then, her right-hand man was trying to take advantage of her. No one would
be able to withstand such a thing.
Whew...
Sensing Morticia's rage, Forsythe's expression was nothing but remorseful. Yet he took a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdeep breath, speaking in a serious tone. "Please calm down, Your Highness. I know I was
acting out of hand, and I'm no match for someone like you, but in the state you’re in, it's
undeniable that you need a man by your side to care for you. All you need to do is say the
word, Your
Highness, and I'll be yours."
As he spoke, Forsythe's expression was unreadable as he continued.
"Also, haven't you noticed that the Honorable Archfiend no longer trusts you after you had
Darryl Darby's baby? He's only sparing your life because you're still Fiend folk, but what
about after that? No one will know for sure.
"I think the fact that he's stuck in the Wishing Star Tower right now might not be a bad
thing. We can also return to the Dragon King Island to rest and recharge, and we'll wait
until the Archfiend and the Godly Region soldiers are both heavily wounded to return and
pick up the pieces.
"You're the only one for me, Your Highness. I want nothing more than to be the man by
your side, helping you into the highest position in the Fiend race.
Just then, Forsythe grew increasingly overwhelmed as he spoke, letting out all the words
he had kept to himself once and for all.
