Chapter 74 - By Your Side

Odette clenched her hand into a tight fist. She hated it when others pointed out she resembled that despicable and pathetic man. She was nothing like Damian Albinius. Nicholas sighed, probably noticing her hostile reaction. "His Highness wasn't always like this. He used to be so bright and full of hope. He was really smart as well, solving everything so quickly just like you, but the reality was too harsh for him for him to continue dreaming. It is too late for Damian, but I want to save you, Lady Odette." Odette chuckled in a mocking manner. "Am I a replacement?" It was too late to save her as well. Nicholas wasn't a good enough savior. He failed with her father and her as well. Actually, he died before he could cause a real impact in her previous life. Nicholas only smiled, but that was the only confirmation she needed. Nicholas saw the shadow of her father in her. No wonder he showed this concern towards her. It wasn't her who he had actually cared for.
