Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

In an instant, Leena became uneasy. She had thought that she had been behaving prudently, so she had no idea if Howard had already seen through her. Still, she tried really hard to remain calm. "I don't understand what you're talking about."

"You don't need to pretend anymore. You know what I mean. Prince Hoffman is not here, so your trick will not work on me," Howard firmly stated.

Leena was taken aback so she raised her voice in exclaiming, "No! There must be some kind of misunderstanding. Don't forget that Prince Hoffman told you to take good care of me."

"Prince Hoffman asked me to take care of Lady Leena, not the spy from the Moon Country," Howard slowly said, putting emphasis on his every word.

Hoffman had only been hoping about one thing. It was that he could save her from those bastards. But now, he could not even guarantee his own safety. How could he find it in him to save her?

"Your Highness, you must retreat now! Just leave me here!" Leena called out with all the sincerity that she had. She behaved selflessly as if she only wished for Hoffman to be safe.
