Chapter 1387: Chapter 757: Favor_2 Chapter 1387: Chapter 757: Favor_2 The Princess looked at him, clearly unfazed, and her mood grew even gloomier. Her brows knitted tightly, her tone tinged with dissatisfaction, “Yes, yes, I see you really don’t take my words to heart. You’re always like this, acting as if nothing in the world truly concerns you.”

Logan touched his nose and didn’t offer any explanation. He knew the Princess’s temperament well and knew that more words would be in vain and might only make her angrier. Thus, he chose silence, yet a subtle tenderness flickered in his eyes, almost imperceptible.

“Forget it.” The Princess let out a light sigh, as if talking to herself, or perhaps to Logan, “I don’t even need your answer or explanation. You’ve always been like this, and what’s the point of my stubbornness with you? As if a few casual words from me could change your mind.”

Her words carried a hint of self-mockery, yet also revealed her helplessness and tolerance toward Logan. She knew that Logan was a man of his own mind; once he decided on something, it was hard to sway him. And she didn’t really want to change him–she just hoped he would be safe and sound.

Logan watched the Princess’s slightly forlorn figure, and an inexplicable wave of emotion surged in his heart. He softly said, “Princess, you truly needn’t worry like this. I know you have my best interests at heart, and I am grateful for your concern. Just that, I have my own path to walk, my own challenges to face. Rest assured, I will take good care of myself.”

Upon hearing this, the Princess turned to look at Logan, her eyes flickering with complex feelings. Taking a deep breath, she tried to keep her tone calm, “Logan, you are a determined person, and I cannot sway your opinions. I just hope you understand that the world is not as simple as you imagine. Sometimes, a person’s strength is limited–you need to learn to leverage the strength of others.”

Logan nodded, showing understanding. He knew the Princess was speaking the truth and appreciated her well-meaning concern. However, he had his own pride and perseverance, and he was not willing to easily bow to others.

“In any case,” the Princess continued, “I might be able to help you once, not twice. You must look out for yourself. If you ever run into trouble, remember to come to me. Even though I may not be able to solve all your problems, I can at least offer you a haven from the storm.”

Logan, however, quite liked this situation, a state of independence yet with subtle connections. The corner of his mouth formed a slight smile, hiding gratitude, relief, and a touch of playful mischief difficult for others to detect. “Thank you, Princess, and I too hope you will take good care of yourself.” His words were tender, yet carried an undeniable sincerity.

The Princess listened, her lips twitching slightly, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes. “Logan does not wish for the fires he kindles to burn the Princess.” She mimicked Logan’s tone, her words laced with teasing and dissatisfaction–an obvious hint that Logan should not involve her in troubles due to her help.

Upon hearing this, Logan’s lips twitched, and he gave a helpless smile, surprised the Princess was so direct in exposing his thoughts, leaving him somewhat at a loss. “Fine, it seems my good deeds have gone in vain. Now I know, I’ll stop poking my nose into others’ business and you’ll be satisfied,” she said with a mixture of defiance and annoyance, as if saying: Do as you will, I won’t meddle in your affairs again.

Having done a favor unappreciated, the Princess felt a bit irritated. She glared at Logan, her eyes shining with complex emotions. She had meant well in wanting to help him with his troubles–yet unexpectedly, he had “disdained” it so.

Logan felt helpless, never expecting that uttering a few truths would upset the Princess. He touched his nose, somewhat bewildered. After all, the Princess had helped him, and he softened his voice, trying to cheer her up. “The Princess surely knows that’s not what I meant,” he said with a mix of plea and helplessness, as if saying: Please don’t misunderstand me; I really didn’t mean it that way.

The Princess felt a slight softening in her heart after hearing this. She knew Logan’s character, understood that he didn’t want to drag her into his own troubles. But at the same time, she also understood, wasn’t this exactly like drawing a clear line with her? He didn’t want to get her involved in his mess, and even less so did he want her to get hurt because of him.

Annoyed as she was, the Princess couldn’t bring herself to completely ignore him. She took a deep breath, trying hard to calm her emotions. “Logan, you know that’s not what I mean. I just hope you understand that I’m not so easily defeated. If you really encounter any trouble, you must tell me, I will do my best to help you.”

Upon hearing this, a warm current surged in Logan’s heart. Looking at the Princess’s resolute eyes, he couldn’t help but feel touched. He knew that the Princess was a decisive and courageous person, she wouldn’t give up on helping him just because of a few words. And he himself, was even more determined to improve himself, to make sure the Princess wouldn’t get hurt because of him.

Watching Logan’s carefree and nonchalant demeanor, the Princess let out a long sigh, her eyes flashing with a mix of helplessness and rebuke. She shook her head, muttering to herself: This guy, always so unserious, makes one both love and hate him. Well then, it seems I have fallen into a pit and can never climb out. She resigned herself to fate, deciding not to fuss over Logan’s attitude anymore.

When she looked at Logan again, her tone had unconsciously softened, as if speaking to a naughty child: “Since you’re here, I have something to tell you. There will be an auction soon, containing countless Treasures, and that’s a rare opportunity. Moreover, the auction will be held in the next few days, you must not miss it.”

Upon hearing this, Logan slightly quirked his eyebrows, a gleam of curiosity and interest passing through his eyes. He lazily leaned back in the chair, a playful smile curling on his lips: “Oh? An auction? Sounds quite interesting. Where will this auction take place, Your Highness?”

Seeing his interest, pride flickered in the Princess’s heart. She tilted her chin up slightly, pointing in the direction of the city: “It’s at the biggest Auction House in the city. There are often various rare items appearing there, and this time is no exception. Moreover, I have heard that there are a few especially precious treasures at this auction, you must go and see.”

Logan nodded, indicating he understood. He looked at the Princess with a mischievous glint in his eyes: “And what about you, Your Highness? Will you also be attending?”

The Princess hesitated for a moment, then snorted: “Of course I’m going. Otherwise, why would I tell you about this? However, whether you attend has nothing to do with me. I just don’t want you to miss such a good opportunity.”

Having said that, she pulled out something from her sleeve and handed it to Logan. It was an exquisite invitation, the gilded lettering shimmering brightly: “By the way, I have something for you, you’ll need it. This is an invitation to the auction, you won’t be able to enter without it.”

Logan took the invitation, examining it closely, then smiled at the Princess: “Thank you for your gracious gift, Master Logan will surely not disappoint and will definitely find out what this auction is all about.”

Seeing his playful and smiling face, the Princess felt somewhat helpless. But she also knew, Logan, though careless on the surface, was actually a sensible person at heart. She believed he would indeed attend the auction and would cherish the opportunity. Thus, she said no more, simply nodding lightly, indicating Logan could leave now.
