Upon realizing Leonard was the Crown Prince's man, Darius was struck in a predicament.
If he were to refuse and deny him now, then that would be equivalent to declaring his intention of going against the Crown Prince.
The time wasn't ripe yet!
He couldn't afford to have the Crown Prince spearhead him.
This was also why he stayed low ever since the Crown Prince had arrived at Velastra.
He didn't wish to become the Crown Prince's first target.
Wesley should have been the one to face the Crown Prince's might instead of him.
'No, I cannot offend him yet. If he informs the Crown prince about me, then the matter will be exposed.' Darius panicked internally.
"Since Mr. Vincent is that interested in my personal guard. Then so be it. Consider it a gift for my late welcoming of your presence." Darius maintained his dignity despite stepping down from the bout.
"The Marquis is actually willing to hand over his personal guard??!"
