No Substitutes for the Bigshots' Dream Girl Anymore!-Chapter 1607: Guard

Forever unable to extricate themselves.

So take the chance to leave if you can.

"What about you?"

After all, they grew up together for so many years. Although there was a distance between Emma and Sheffield, the brotherhood between Sheffield and Wayne Lane was also genuine.

Wayne Lane was naturally a man of few words, and aside from Hannah, Sheffield was his best friend.

Even the so-called brothers and sisters in the family couldn’t compare to the deep bond between them.

"Wayne Lane, to stand against people like Hannah and even pay with your life for such people, is it really worth it?" Sheffield couldn’t understand, "Can’t Hannah’s ending make you see clearly that such sacrifices are meaningless!"

Those in the royal household have always regarded them as tools, as the most powerful weapons in their hands.

No one cares about their lives, their feelings.

All those people ever think about is how much more they can benefit the royal household.

"Even if it’s for Hannah." Sheffield said.

They all owed Hannah.

But Wayne Lane just shook his head; he leaned back in his chair and watched the drizzling rain outside the window, "Sheffield, I am different from you, I owe Hannah far too much."

So much that it could never be repaid in this lifetime.

The past camaraderie, the dependence on each other in life and death on the battlefield, all of it ultimately led to annihilation because of his betrayal at a critical moment.

"Sheffield, do you know, during that battle back then, Hannah deliberately lost to me, she gave up the chance to leave." Wayne Lane’s gaze was filled with dark clouds and regret, "I know why she did that, she wanted to draw a clear line between us."

From then on, whether it was sentimental or human obligation, she paid it back with her own life.

So, he couldn’t leave.

That night, only Wayne Lane and Sheffield knew about the conversation in the room.

They each made their own decisions.

Whether to leave or stay, it was time for them to repay.

Emma, who couldn’t wait for Wayne Lane any longer, was starting to grow impatient. She pushed the door open wanting to go out, but what she saw was a tightly secured guard outside.

"Who ordered you to stay here!"

The captain of the guard turned his head, his face expressionless and his tone respectful, "Princess, the queen has instructed us to ensure your safety and to escort you to the palace soon."

Hearing this, Emma immediately became unhappy, "Who said I wanted to leave."

As she spoke, she moved forward, but the captain of the guard stepped forward too, blocking the door.

Still the same icy phrase, "Please princess return to your room and wait, we will escort you out soon."

The command from the royal side was clear; this time they had to take Emma away no matter what.

If she still won’t listen, they are authorized to take necessary measures.

Emma didn’t care about any orders, "Move aside now, do you hear me!"

"Please princess go back."

"I don’t need your protection!" Anger was written all over Emma’s face, and her voice grew sharp, "Move aside at once, I need to find my brother Wayne Lane."

The captain of the guard still did not budge, "The border situation is perilous, please return to your room immediately, and we will depart early tomorrow."

"I’ve said I’m not going, are you deaf!"

Unable to bear any longer, Emma picked up an ornament from the table and hurled it over.

The ornament was sharp, and after a parabolic flight, it directly sliced open the forehead of the captain of the guard, but even so, he only slightly knitted his brows and did not move away.
