Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) Chapter 3407

Iridessa broke down in tears.

“That’s not true, Andrew. You can’t think of me like that. Back then, when you took my mother hostage and escaped from Eastonia, I saw your real face. From that moment on, I remembered you.

“All these years, I wanted revenge, so I followed Vance and moved from place to place. But when I finally had the chance—and the strength—to get close to you, I realized that to you, I was nothing. I don’t even know when it started… but somehow, you were already in my heart.”

Andrew felt a surge of irritation.

“Fine. Even if everything you said is true, Iridessa, I still can’t help you.”

Her eyes filled with despair as tears streamed down her face.

“Andrew, when you escaped Eastonia back then, did my mother help you?”

Andrew narrowed his eyes.

“What are you trying to say? Are you trying to cash in on that favor?”

Iridessa cried out, “I have no other choice but to do this! After I avenge Vance, I’ll never return to Eastonia. I no longer have the right to go back. The other princes will fight for the throne, and if I return, I’ll only end up dead.

“I have nowhere left to go, Andrew. Do you understand? That’s why I can only rely on you. This is my last option.”

Seeing the broken look on her face, Andrew took a deep breath and said coldly, “Fine. I’ll help you take this revenge. If I see Ezekiel, I will kill him. As for Ragnar, I was already planning to storm the Blood Sanctum, so this doesn’t conflict with my own goals.

“But Iridessa, from this day on, there will be nothing between us.”

Iridessa collapsed to the ground and cried out loudly.

“Andrew, I’m willing to be your servant. If I do that, will you take me in?”

Andrew shook his head.

“I’m sorry. I won’t.”

Iridessa gritted her teeth.

“I brought many skilled fighters from Eastonia. This time, let me follow you to the Blood Sanctum. If I die there, it will settle everything at once.”

Andrew truly didn’t know how to deal with her, and a trace of reluctance stirred in his heart.

He frowned. “Iridessa, you’re strong, and you have loyal subordinates. Even if you never return to Eastonia, you can still live well. Why throw your life away?”

She bit her lip and spoke softly.

“Because I want to follow you. I was born to follow someone. Before, Vance was my everything. I wanted to help him build his empire, his kingdom.

“But now that Vance is dead, you’re my everything. Deep down, I’m still a woman. If you cherished me, I would willingly devote my life to you.”

Andrew felt a headache coming on.

Iridessa was undeniably captivating. The young princess of Eastonia had a flawless figure and a beautiful face, and there was a gentle softness about her that even the women around Andrew seemed to lack.

But the truth was, Andrew and Iridessa had never shared that kind of relationship. Moreover, he was not some emperor who could simply claim her and add her to a harem without a second thought.

In the end, Andrew sighed.

“Iridessa, if you wish, you may stay and live in Throne City. For your mother’s sake, I’ll give you one last choice.”

With that, he stood up and left.

Iridessa quietly wiped away her tears. A sorrowful yet determined smile appeared on her lips as she murmured,

“Vance, once I avenge you, I’ll devote myself to living in Throne City. I’ll do my best to become Andrew’s woman and make him accept me.

“I love him… but he doesn’t love me at all… not even a little.”

In the end, her heart ached, and she broke down in tears once more.
