The Overlord of Blood and Iron

Mei Ling could feel herself succumbing to Andrei Ivanovic’s sweet words.

Ba-dump. Ba-dump, ba-dump!

Her heart began to race.

D-Does this man really love me…?

Truthfully speaking, that confession came from nowhere. There wasn’t any interaction between her and Andrei Ivanovic. They might have seen each other in the Gullveig Alliance official meetings, but that was all. But for him to suddenly confess like this...

“Mei Ling.”

At that moment, Andrei Ivanovic interrupted Mei Ling’s train of thought.

“Yes…?”

“I told you that I don’t care about who rules Pangaea in the end.”

“You did...”

“In fact, I was one of the two people who objected to the formation of the Gullveig Alliance. Do you know why I joined the alliance in the end?”

“D-Don’t tell me...”

“Yes, you are right.”

Andrei Ivanovic nodded.

“There was one meeting when you and Vilhelm saw the Lords out. I immediately froze at that moment.”

“I-I see...”

“To see you.”

“...!”

“I joined the Gullveig Alliance just to see you and spent the past two years lingering around your side.”

“Really…?”

“It doesn’t matter whether you believe me or not.”

“Mr. Andrei...”

“In fact, you don’t have to feel pressured to accept me. Just let me be at your side to help you. I won’t ask for any profit or power. You may not believe me now, but I trust that you will recognize my sincerity one day.”

Andrei gently kissed Mei Ling on the forehead and concluded his confession.

“That was it.”

Andrei Ivanovic turned around and bid Mei Ling farewell.

“I will prepare everything you need to seize power. You should focus solely on maintaining your cool...”

At that moment.

“Andrei…!”

“...!”

“Don’t go!”
