Chapter 261: Why So Angry

"What does the state of the world have to do with me?" Isabella scoffed, "I'm happy with my everyday life. I don't need a throne to vie for, and I don't have grand ideals like you, aiming to change the world."

"If you think you can persuade me like this, then forget it." Isabella's eyes showed a hint of irritation, and she looked away from Tilly.

Tilly's smile turned somewhat helpless, thinking Olivia really miscalculated this time.

She's skilled in scheming, usually dealing with political figures who crave as much power as they can get. But Isabella... she's a free spirit, not like them.

Isabella turned her annoyed gaze to Elias, "Elias, this is really up to you. If you need me, I'll do it for you."

"So now, please tell me." She stared intently into Elias's eyes: "Do you need me? Do you need me to be the Duke of Thorns?"

Elias rarely saw professor so serious. For a moment, he even hesitated unconsciously.
