Chapter 285 âMs. Yates, why donât you go back first? You can tell me the detoxification method and the herbs needed, and Iâll stay here,â said Hugo. He was worried. The ongoing war made the place extremely unsafe.
While it was unlikely that the enemy would target the Queenâs Palace, there was always the risk of bombs being dropped or accidental casualties.
No matter how powerful Cassandra was, she was still vulnerable to physical harm. Hugo thought, âWhat if there is danger? What if she gets injured?
âI have lived for half a lifetime and have grown indifferent to life and death, but Ms. Yates is different. At just eighteen years old, she is in the prime of her youth and shouldnât be staying in such a perilous place.
Cassandraâs face darkened, and she said in a cold voice, âHugo, I took this order. I should stay here. Iâll contact some people and send you back later. You should go back first.
In her opinion, it was her duty, and she shouldnât let Hugo stay there.
She had thought she could at least have a few more days of ceasefire. By then, Leannaâs poison would have been mostly removed, and they could handle their own affairs and recuperate.
There was no need for her to stay there any longer. The reason why she let Hugo stay there was that she didnât want to cooperate with the people in the Queenâs. Palace, and she didnât want to have too much contact with them at all.
Kenneth and Jeremiah had more important matters to attend to and needed to return soon.
She was unwilling to let Hugo stay there, and she didnât expect the war would come so soona Cassandra thought, âWhy are Theodore and the others too slow? They havenât prepared the herbs yet!
âThatâs so annoying!â
Hugo said, âIâm not going back. Iâll stay here. Ms. Yates, itâs you who should go back. You have more important things to do than stay here.â

He knew that Cassandra had other identities, such as being part of the National Security Bureau and the Information Security Department. When wars broke out in other countries, the nation should be on high alert.
Hugo was right. After the outbreak of the war in Zosteylor, the Information Security Department had been gathering its people.
It was just that Cassandra was absent.
âWithout me, the department wonât collapse, and besides, I can do my work remotely. There arenât many people who can attack the security systems Iâve set up,â said Cassandra confidently, lifting her eyebrows. She was confident.
âBut...â Hugo wanted to say something more but was interrupted by Cassandra.
âWell, Hugo, I left you here yesterday because I thought they would ceasefire for at few more days. I was thinking that we would go back once I detoxified Ms. Leanna Stark and Harper. I thought it wouldnât take long. But now that war has broken out, if you donât leave now, it will be dangerous.â
She didnât have many family members, but they all had a close bond with her, and they were all chosen by her and cared for her in return.
Therefore, she would do her best to protect the family that she accepted.
âMs. Yates, the more you say, the less likely I am to leave. I wonât leave you. If you want me to leave, then letâs leave together.
Hugo said with deep sincerity, âYouâre my master. Wherever you are, Iâll be there too. I donât care about other things as long as youâre safe.â
He didnât consider his life important at all compared with Cassandraâs.
Cassandra sighed and looked at Hugo with a serious expression. She said, âHugo, I have never regarded me as your master.
You are not my subordinate. Youâre my family, irreplaceable family to me.â
Since the death of Blossom and her encounter with Hugo, he had taken good care of her for several years..
Hugo had been there for her when she fell ill. During her first menstrual period, he gave her the first glass of warm water. And when she went abroad, he cared for her with meticulous attention. He took care of her as Blossom did and made her feel warm and comfortable.
2/5 Chapter 285 He was just as important to her as Blossom had been.
âI know it. Iâve always treated you like my granddaughter, so I wonât leave,â Hugo said with a gentle smile. âWell, Iâll go check on Her Majesty now. Ms. Yates, you should get some rest.â
He left briskly, not feeling afraid because of the war outside. Instead, Cassandraâs words had made him feel content.
However, he thought that the place was ultimately unsafe, so it was best to leave as soon as possible.
As soon as Cassandra sat down in the room, Kennethâs video call came.
It wasnât that he hadnât tried to video call her to confirm her safety immediately, but he didnât expect the conflict to erupt so soon, and he wasnât adept at making video calls yet.
While Yannick was trained to make a report again, Kenneth rushed to the superiorâs office and pulled Yannick out.
Cassandra raised her eyebrows and answered the video call.
Kenneth said anxiously, âCassie, howâs everything going? Are you okay? Iâll arrange for a plane to bring you back.â
Kenneth didnât care about the treatment of Leanna and Harper.
He thought that other peopleâs lives had nothing to do with him, and he couldnât bear to see Cassandra risk her life to treat others.
In his opinion, Leanna was useless because she wasnât able to quell internal strife within her own country.
Cassandra paused for a moment.
But she felt warm in her heart. In this world, having someone love her was enough.
âYou donât have to. Donât send anyone. Iâll stay here for a few days. Donât worry. Iâll be fine,â said Cassandra.
And she thought she wouldnât let herself be in danger.

âNo, itâs too dangerous where you are. Itâs not safe at all. Bombs are being dropped. sporadically. What if you get hurt?â
Kenneth was worried. Then he ordered Yannick and said, âGather a group of people and leave in half an hour.â
âYes, sir!â Yannick saluted!
âWait, Yannick. Stop!â said Cassandra.
Yannick was a bit puzzled. He couldnât understand why he still felt such a strong sense of oppression from Cassandra, even through the phone.
He didnât know who he should listen to now.
âKen, itâs not me you should care about now. Donât worry. Iâll be fine. During the previous war, did you see Queenâs Palace get hit by mistake? Trust me, at most...â Cassandra paused for a moment. She continued, âAs long as Theodore can get the herbs I need today, Iâll be back in five days. Just give me five more days.â
Kenneth shook his head without thinking. He said, âFive days is too long for me to rest assured.â
He thought that anything could happen in five days.
Cassandra said, âIt was already the fastest. Well, if there is any danger in the Queenâs Palace, I will evacuate immediately.
Thereâs a consulate and an army here. Iâll go find them, and then wait for your people to come pick me up. Is that acceptable?â
Kenneth suddenly realized that the consulate hadnât been evacuated yet according to the original plan, which was supposed to happen in half a month. However, in an emergency situation like this, it would probably be evacuated in a short time. The consulate was a safe place, so he could inform people there beforehand.
He replied, âOK. If anything happens, Iâll have some people from the consulate come pick you up. You and Hugo must go with them. Iâll wait for you to come back to Drieso.â
âOkay, I understand,â said Cassandra.
She knew Kenneth and the others who cared about her in Drieso, so she would try her best to go back safely.
