Chapter 1236:
But Nina wasn’t giving up. She grabbed his hand, her eyes wide and pleading. “Please, Jesse? Just a little while, |
promise I'll study seriously after—we can pinky swear!”
“You promise?” Jesse's voice softened. He was always a softie when it cto his sister.
Nina bobbed her head vigorously. “Cross my heart.” He hesitated, but eventually agreed.
But to keep the story from getting weird, he suggested a role switch.
He'd play the villain, and Alan could be the king.
“Release my daughter now!” Alan got straight into character, standing tall with that righteous, fatherly tone. “Or
I'll kill you!”
Jesse, keeping a straight face, gently lifted Nina by the collar and stared Alan down. “You and what army?”

Alan froze, his expression full of inner conflict. Should he safeguard his kingdom, or save his daughter? Give up

Nina finally asked, dead serious, “Did you forget your line?”
“No,” Alan said quickly. “I'm just thinking. Should I give in or not? What's more important—the fate of my people
and my kingdom, or my daughter's life?”
Nina blinked.
Jesse just stared at him.
Alan furrowed his brows like this was the hardest decision he'd ever made. Nina sighed, let her arms drop, and
turned to Jesse. “Let's just go do homework.”
“Gladly,” Jesse muttered, visibly relieved.
Acting wasn’t exactly his thing.
As the two kids walked off, Alan looked stunned. “Wait—why are you leaving? Aren't we finishing the scene?”
“Nope,” Nina said without looking back.
“Why not?”
“I have homework.”
Alan looked crushed. ‘Homework can
