79 MY ADVANCE BIRTHDAY GIFT

"LEWIS, you just gave your knight's oath to me," Neoma said in disbelief. "Do you know what that means? You can only give your pledge of loyalty once."

Lewis nodded. "I know, Princess Neoma."

"How can you serve Nero once he returns now that you gave your knight's oath to me?"

"I never intended to serve the royal prince."

"Shh!" she scolded him. "If my father hears you, he'll get mad. He brought you here in the Royal Palace because he wanted you to be Nero's knight."

He tilted his head to one side. "I already told His Majesty that I'll follow you once you leave the Royal Palace."

Her eyes widened in shock. "And Papa Boss allowed you to live after that?"

He just nodded.

She pinched the bridge of her nose.
