John Hill's icy eyes gave him a glance, and Kris pressed his lips together, saying, "Prince, I will go to accept my punishment myself, I only ask that you do not transfer me away."
The Prince had no one he could trust by his side, as one after another of his confidants were seduced by the Crown Prince and then betrayed him; if he were alone, it would be too lonely.
He dared not claim he was all that important, but at the very least, he would not betray the Prince, he would protect him unto death.
In truth, he also understood why the Prince was so fond of Ning Xia; after all, Ning Xia appeared by his side at his most helpless and most desperate moment. That woman brought the single ray of light into his dark life, and people, inevitably, unconsciously chase after the light.
Although he was biased against Ning Xia, he had to admit that when Ning Xia was beside the Prince, he was in his most relaxed state; he could be without a mask, without the constant vigilance and scheming.
