The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

What should they do now?

Mango and Mckenzie immediately panicked when they saw this.

"You guys should leave first."

Lebanon gave Mango a push as he said this.

On the other hand, Mango was speechless.

"Where should I go then?"

She was unfamiliar with this place, so she was expecting Lebanon to at least give her some directions.

While they were speaking, the other party had already come up to Lebanon.

"Lebanon? What brings you here? D*mn, did the two women behind you just come out of the garbage? They stink."

The person who came was Prisca Argus, one of the princesses of Angolla. Her mother was the daughter of a small family. Thus, when the family fell into crisis, the family sent her mother to be Laborn's wife. After Prisca was born, her mother was immediately abandoned by Laborn. Over the years, the family had lived in isolation and away from the public's attention. As for Prisca, she rarely associated herself with anyone.

Therefore, Lebanon was not familiar with her. He hesitated slightly as he was didn't know what were her intentions.

"How about you? Where are you going?"

"I came out for a walk. The snowstorm has been ongoing for three days. My mom said that the residents might need our help outside, so I planned to go out and have a look."

Prisca's voice was tender and sweet. The dimples on her cheeks was relatively apparent when she smiled, which made her look very easygoing.

However, Lebanon still had his guard up against people around the palace as they were often vicious and scheming.

"Well, go ahead, then"

Lebanon didn't want to talk any longer. Then, he took Mango's hand and was about to move forward, but Prisca immediately stopped him.

"Are you heading to your mother's place?"

Prisca easily guessed that they were going to Magnolia's palace as this was the only place that led to there.

"Look, if you have anything to tell me, you can just say it directly."

Lebanon knew that it was too late for any excuse now. If it didn't work, he could only...

At this thought, a cold gaze flashed across Lebanon's eyes as he was planning to kill Prisca.

On the other hand, Prisca obviously knew what he was thinking from the look in his eyes. She shivered in fear and said in a low voice, "Dad is in her palace. I saw him when I passed by, so I'd advise you to get rid of those people behind you before going. Well, he doesn't seem to be in a good mood today."

Her words reminded Lebanon of something else.

Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. If Prisca was telling the truth, then bringing Mango along would be very dangerous. However, where else could he send Mango to?

Hence, Lebanon was in distress right now.

Then, Prisca looked at him and said timidly, "If you don't mind, my palace is not far from here. Why don't you take them to my place to clean up?"

After hearing this, Mango couldn't help but glance at Prisca.

Prisca looked rather innocent, and she had a sweet voice, so Mango had a good impression of her. However, she could see that Lebanon had no affection for his sister, who was standing in front of him as they were acting like strangers! Thus, ot was difficult to tell if Prisca was genuinely lending a helping hand or planning to harm them even more.

Since things had taken a turn to this state, they could only go with the flow.

At the thought of this, Mango tugged at Lebanon's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Why don't we go over first? Besides, it's not safe to stay here anymore. If we meet one of Bernard's men, we'll be in bigger trouble!"

Well, Mango was telling the truth.

Lebanon thought of how Bernard was hunting him down and was concerned if Mosco could handle it. Then, he glanced at Prisca again and pondered for a moment.

Meanwhile, Prisca was not in a hurry as she patiently waited for him to make a decision.

After that, Mango looked around and whispered, "Let's go over first. Well find out her intentions after we go there."

"All right."

Lebanon had no other ideas now, so he could only look at Prisca and say, "Let's go to your place first."

"Here, come with me. I'm sorry girls, but you smell really bad. I'll talk to you guys later."

Prisca was gentle and kind to them, but Mango remained cautious.

Soon, they arrived at Prisca's palace.

The decoration in her place was inferior as compared to Lebanon and Prissy's grand palaces. It was obvious that their family was least favoured by Laborn.

Meanwhile, Mango closely observed the surroundings. There weren't many guards or servants around, so this place was relatively empty and desolate.

After that, Prisca led them into the palace and sent someone to serve Mango and Mckenzie. As the girls went to wash up, Prisca poured Lebanon a cup of hot tea and said with a smile, "Here, have some tea." "Thank you."

Lebanon felt that she wasn't an easy target to deal with. As he took a sip of the tea, he found that it was some poor quality tea.

Meanwhile, Prisca said, "I hope you don't mind if the tea doesn't taste great. Our place doesn't have any support from the palace." "No, I won't. However, why did you help me today?"

Now that Mango was not around, Lebanon decided to inquire directly. As Mango's cousin, he could never put her in danger. Even though Prisca looked harmless, there had to be a reason for her to help him. Thus, he had to think of a backup plan in case anything went wrong.

Meanwhile, Prisca remained calm. She smiled sweetly and said, "You are impatient. But forget it, let's be direct. I can see that the atmosphere in the palace has been tense recently because everyone is fighting for the throne. However, there's something I'm not sure if should say."

"Just feel free to say it. Since you said it's better for us to be direct, there's no need to hide it."

Lebanon said these words honestly.

Prisca paused for a moment and continued, "Dad is still in the prime of his life, but you guys are already scheming to seize the throne. Isn't that awful? Although we're not in ancient times, I'm sure that those in power don't want to step down so quickly. I know that you and our other brothers are fighting for the throne, but dad is still strong and healthy, and he could stay on for many years. Alas! I am afraid that everyone will get into trouble if you guys ever cross the line."

Her words were quite sincere.

However, Lebanon said with a sneer, "Heh! I have never been interested in that position. I even planned on leaving this place previously."

"Then why did you come back this time?" "For revenge!"

A hint of coldness flashed through his eyes.

"Is Alfred really your true love? Although you two have always depended on each other, perhaps your relationship is not what you think it is. It's probably because you've never gotten close to any other woman, So..."

Prisca naturally heard about what happened to Lebanon, so she was a little hesitant.

However, Lebanon said frankly, "The relationship between me and Alfred has long surpassed affection. We're both lovers and family. We lived with each other so that we could survive, but he was killed by Bernard. Hence, I need to seek revenge on behalf of him!"

"But what if Bernard didn't kill him, but someone else did?"

Lebanon frowned when he heard what Prisca had said.

"Do you know something about this?"

"I don't know anything. I'm just guessing. Well, I'm just letting you know that our dad will not let go of his position as the ruler. So, you should probably forget about that."

Upon hearing this, Lebanon sneered and said, "Hah! It's impossible for me to stop now. Besides, he's probably mad about how we desire his position badly, so he's also on guard against here.

If I don't manage to seize the throne, I won't be able to get my revenge. Hence, there's no way I can back out now, Prisca."

Lebanon knew the challenges he had to face along the way. After all, his enemies were not only his brothers but also his biological father, Laborn Fang.

As Prisca said, Laborn was in his prime and would not let go of his power easily. However, Lebanon couldn't wait any longer. Judging from the way Laborn shielded Bernard, there was a long way to go before Lebanon could seek revenge.

After hearing Lebanon's words, Prisca sighed softly and said, "I guess you're determined to put yourself in danger."

"Did dad sent you over to persuade me?"

Lebanon couldn't help but make a guess.

However, Prisca shook her head and said, "If you are determined to snatch the position, my mother and I can help you."

Lebanon was slightly stunned when he heard this.

After all, Prisca's mother was from the Acker family. However, the Ackers was considered a low-class family in Angolla. Despite their shortcomings, she still had the confidence to support Lebanon, so he was surprised.

"The Ackers doesn't seem to be very powerful."

"Heh! Are you looking down on our family?"

Although Prisca smiled sweetly, Lebanon couldn't help but feel pressured.

"It's not like that. I'm doing this all alone, so what rights do I have to judge others? Is this solely your decision, your mom's or the Acker's?"

Prisca looked at him and pondered for a while before saying, "Well, to be honest, my cousin, Tristan Acker, was the one who wanted to do this."

Well, Lebanon had heard of Tristan Acker. He had heard that Tristan was the new head of the Acker family and was very talented in the business. He had great achievements over the years and helped the family to survive through the business crisis. Moreover, it was said that he was the current hope of the Acker family.

However, Tristan was a low-profile person and never showed up in public. Hence, his assistants would attend a lot of banquets in his place. Therefore, not many people knew how Tristan looked like now. Some people even said that he was ugly or disabled. People had different opinions, but Tristan never said anything about these rumours.

Thus, Lebanon didn't understand why Tristan was supporting him in the fight for the throne.

"What does he want?"

"Tristan wants the Acker family to become the biggest family in Angolla."

Prisca said cheerfully, while Lebanon was shocked upon hearing those words.

Wow! Tristan was ambitious indeed!

"What if I fail then?"

"Nah, you won't fail with his help."

Lebanon was surprised by her confidence.

"Why didn't you choose to support Lexis instead? They're more powerful than me and has a good relationship with the elders. If you choose him, you'd have a better chance of winning. Why me?" Well, Lebanon wasn't that foolish as he had been able to make it this far all by himself. Even though Magnolia would support him at times, he still had to depend on himself. Now that the Acker family had shown such a will, Lebanon couldn't help but think carefully about this.

Then, Prisca continued with a smile, "Tristan will let you know the reason later. Anyway, you and my cousin are destined to work together."

After hearing this, Lebanon was confused as he didn't know what was going on.
