Nala gazed at Yale with an unreadable expression. She reminded, "Remember what I said. before? There's a one-month trial period. Mr. Jones, are you perhaps being a bit too impatient?"

A hint of displeasure flashed across Yale's face, and he responded in a low voice, "A month. is too long. Those people abroad have already agreed. Why insist on waiting another day or two? Besides, I am now the Dragon Lord; there's no need to pretend it was otherwise." A subtle smile appeared at the corner of Nala's lips as she waved her hand dismissively.

"But are you truly secured in your title as Dragon Lord? Leave now. I said one month, and

decision." one month it will be. No one can change my

Yale clenched and unclenched his fists, but he ultimately left without saying another word.

The next morning, Felix returned to Avesburgh and went straight to Xena's home. After all, there was nothing more pressing on his agenda.

When he knocked on the door, Xena opened it with an expressionless face.

"Come in," she said.

In the living room, Curtis rose to greet him, a clear indication of the importance he placed on Felix.

Curtis said, "Felix, I've been waiting to see you

Seeing that Curtis was in good spirits, Felix couldn't help but feel happy. "Your recovery is what matters most.

Once they were all seated, Curtis smiled warmly. "Xena told me you've been staying in Avesburgh for some time. I assume it's because of the engagement, correct?"

Felix nodded. "Yes. I can't go against my mentor's orders. Now that you've recovered, I'll follow whatever decision you make."

Sitting beside Curtis, Xena's gaze grew cold.

What a talented actor Felix was. When he was dealing with her, he was always so stubborn and headstrong. But now? Now, he was as obedient as a child. Was that all just for show?

After a brief moment of thought, Curtis said, "Times are changing. I understand that young people today prefer to fall in love first and marry later. Although you and Xena both Histened and willing to honor the agreement between elders, forcing things won't lead to happiness. You understand that, right?" Chapter 203

Felix was overjoyed to hear this. It seemed like Curtis was about to reject the engagement altogether, which was exactly what Felix had hoped for.

"Please continue. I'll follow your advice," Felix said eagerly.

With a smile, Curtis continued, "So, I've decided to have you and Xena date for a month. After that, if either of you feels the relationship isn't working, we can call off the engagement. How does that sound to you?"

A month! Felix sat there stunned, unsure of how to respond.

This suggestion infuriated Xena, and she pointed angrily at Felix.

"What's with that expression? Are you upset about it? Do you even know who I am? I'm the mighty goddess of war! Do you have any idea how many people would jump at this chance? And you dare show such an attitude?" "Xena!" Curtis frowned, prompting Xena to sit back angrily in silence.

"Mr. Summers Senior, since you've made this decision, I have no objections," Felix said. with a polite smile.

Relieved by his agreement, Curtis nodded. "Good. I'll leave the rest to you young people. I can guarantee that Xena won't turn down any invitation from you. As a man, I hope you'll take the initiative.

What else could Felix do at this point? After thinking it through, he realized that enduring nother month wouldn't be too hard. It wasn't a big deal.

"Don't worry. I know what to do," he said calmly.
