Chapter 1388: Chapter 758: Invitation Chapter 1388: Chapter 758: Invitation Logan hesitated for a moment before slowly accepting the item passed to him by the Princess. Glancing down, he discovered it was an elegantly crafted invitation, its gold-embossed pattern shimmering brilliantly in the sunlight. He furrowed his brows, seeming a tad overwhelmed.

“This…” Logan lifted his gaze toward the Princess, a flicker of puzzlement in his eyes, “Princess, this invitation…”

The Princess watched him with a smile brimming with expectancy, and then began to explain, “Oh, this is an invitation to the auction. Not just anyone can enter the auction, this invitation is merely a stepping stone. But without it, you can’t even get through the door.”

Logan’s gaze grew heavier. He was well aware of the rules of the auction and understood the value of the invitation. He gently shook his head, attempting to return the item: “Princess, this is too precious. I better give it back. I, Logan, just a commoner, how dare I accept such a generous gift?”

Seeing his refusal, the Princess frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied with Logan’s rejection. She raised her voice slightly, with a hint of annoyance: “How presumptuous! You dare to refuse something given by this Princess? Do you know what this invitation represents? It is my trust in you, and my recognition of you!”

Logan gave a wry smile. He understood the Princess’s sentiment all too well. It was just that he really did not want to owe the Princess another favor. He shook his head firmly and said, “Princess, you’ve misunderstood. It’s not that I don’t value it, it’s just that I feel once I accept it, I’ll owe you a great favor. It’s not appropriate for me, and I don’t wish to cause you further worry.”

The Princess became even more irritated upon hearing this. She abruptly stood up, walked over to Logan, and glared at him: “Logan, do you know what you’re saying? What I’m giving you, I am giving. There are no strings attached, nor will I ask you to do anything for me. Yet you refuse to accept even this little sign of my regard. Do you hold me in such low esteem? Do you think what I offer is not worth your acceptance?”

Logan, seeing the Princess’s anger, couldn’t help but feel flustered. He quickly tried to clarify, “Princess, you’ve misunderstood. That’s not what I meant. I just don’t know – what virtue or ability do I, Logan, possess to warrant such affection from you? I… I really don’t know how to repay you.”

The Princess’s expression softened a little. She gazed at Logan, a tender glimmer in her eyes, “Logan, you don’t need to repay me anything. What I give to you is entirely voluntary. You just need to accept it; you don’t need to overthink it. Moreover, at this auction, I really hope you can attend. There will be many rare treasures that I believe you’ll be interested in.”

Hearing this, a warm current surged in Logan’s heart. He observed the Princess’s resolute expression and finally stopped refusing. He slowly accepted the invitation and bowed deeply to the Princess: “Thank you for your kindness, Princess. Logan will not let you down, and will surely attend the auction.”

“No, Princess, that’s not what I meant…” Logan hastily waved his hands, his complexion somewhat awkward, genuinely worried that the Princess had misunderstood him. But before he could fumble through more explanations, the Princess had already made a final judgement, cutting him off mid-sentence.

“If that’s not what you meant, then accept it, fully accept it!” The Princess’s tone was firm and brooked no argument, her bright eyes fixed intently on Logan, as though to see through his thoughts, “Think of nothing else, say nothing else, I just believe in you.”

Logan’s mouth twitched, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He wanted to explain further, but seeing the Princess’s unequivocal gaze, he swallowed the words he was about to say. With a resigned sigh, he obediently took the invitation.

“Alright, then, thank you, Princess,” said Logan, his head bowed, voice somewhat subdued. He knew he now owed the Princess a favor, one that wouldn’t be easy to repay.

The Princess watched as Logan accepted the invitation, her expression easing slightly and a touch of satisfaction appearing. She gave a gentle nod, and a faint smile curled on her lips, “That’s right. Logan, remember, everything I give to you is willingly offered, you need not repay anything.”

At this, the Princess seemed to recall something, her expression turning serious. Prior to leaving, she didn’t forget to warn him, “Also, the auction will be attended by noble families, including that Aristocratic Family you’ve offended. You might run into those individuals, so try your best not to confront them. Preserving your wisdom and well-being is most crucial.”

Logan felt a chill in his heart upon hearing this. He clearly knew whom the Princess was referring to – that Aristocratic Family he had previously offended over some trifle matter. He nodded solemnly, “Rest assured, Princess, Logan knows his place. I will not readily provoke a conflict with them.”

The Princess cast another glance at Logan, a flicker of concern in her gaze. But she also knew that Logan was a man of his own mind and wouldn’t easily change his decision. She exhorted him once more, “Logan, you must be careful. Those from that Aristocratic Family are ruthless and capable of anything. You absolutely must not be careless.”

Logan was touched. Looking into the Princess’s concerned eyes, a warmth filled his heart. He nodded firmly, “Princess, rest assured, Logan will be cautious. I won’t let myself fall into danger.”

The Princess felt a bit relieved after hearing Logan’s words. She gently patted Logan’s shoulder, then turned and left. Logan was left alone, a tumult of emotions in his heart. He knew that what he owed the Princess was more than just a favor for the invitation.
