Chapter 1040 Swap

"Doyle, calm down a bit!" Besse's voice was a little loud. She could feel that Doyle almost forgot to keep his wits about him now. Doyle's eyes were red and he stared tightly at her.

Because of her words, he was trying to calm himself down.

"Doyle, I know all your thoughts, and I'm willing to trade places with you just because you're worth it!"

"I'm not worth it! It's something I did, you shouldn't pay for me!" Doyle exclaimed loudly.

He could accept any results now, except for Besse dying for him.

"Listen to me," Besse stopped him. There were many things she couldn't say too clearly, but she believed that Doyle could understand the hidden meaning behind her words if he calmed down to listen. "As the prince of Jolencami, if something happens to you in Northfield, it will affect the friendly relations between the two countries and harm Northfield as well."

"I can't care about so many things!" Doyle said fiercely. "The only person I care about is you."

"Me too! If you die, do you think I will survive?!"

Tears filled Doyle's eyes.

Now, as long as they could keep Besse alive, he could do whatever Skye wanted.

"Doyle, if you die, I'll die with you."

"I can't live without you!" as he said, tears streamed down his face.

"What a lovey-dovey young couple! Performing a touching scene of life and death separation, huh?" Skye suddenly said in a sarcastic tone.

Besse turned to him, who met her eyes.

"Will you keep your word?" asked Besse. "Like what?"

"As long as I come over, you release Doyle."

"Sure," Skye said frankly, "I've said that I just wanted him to experience what I went through, to feel like life is worse than death. I never thought about killing him. You know, sometimes being alive can be a hundred times more painful than death. Just like how I'm living now, every day live like a zombie! Seeking revenge on Doyle is the only belief that keeps me going!"

"Okay, I'll swap Doyle."

"No way!" exclaimed Doyle with great excitement.

"Doyle, calm down."

"No!"

"Between us, one of us is destined to die, either you or me. And if you die, I won't live either. I know that even if I die, you won't survive. But!" Besse was agitated and her voice grew louder. "Put aside our life and death, it had nothing to do with the Commander of Northfield. We cannot involve Northfield in our grudges. If you die within the boundaries of Northfield, how can Oscar explain it to your family? We cannot be so selfish!"

Doyle was scolded by Besse to the point where he couldn't speak.

"I didn't expect Besse to be such a righteous woman," Skye exclaimed, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone. "Doyle, as a prince, you are not even as good as a woman!"

"Skye, that's enough. Enough!" Doyle broke down completely.

"Doyle!" Besse called out loudly to him, "If you don't want me to hate you, do as I say."

Doyle suppressed his inner emotions and endured immense pain in silence.

Besse said to Skye, "Release Doyle and I'll come over."

Skyed nodded while laughing evilly. He said, "Okay, but if you dare play tricks, my people will shoot him down in no time."

"I don't need your reminder!" Besse gritted her teeth.

"Prince Doyle, the same to you. If you try anything stupid, you'll die, Bess will die too."

Doyle glared at him with anger in his eyes.

"I'll count to three," Skye said, "then I'll let go of Doyle and Besse can come straight over." Besse agreed readily.

"Wait a minute," Oscar suddenly called out to them.

"Mr Commander, do you have any further orders?" Skye appeared alert.

"I want to have a few words with Besse."

"If you're up to..."

"Don't worry, Doyle's life is more important to me. I just want to make sure that Doyle is safe and sound."

"So you're afraid that Besse will suddenly change her mind? Are you gonna help her prepare for anything?"

Oscar walked up to Besse's side. She knew Oscar was stalling for time, for the snipers.

Oscar stood in front of her with his back to Skye, intentionally blocking Skye's line of sight.

"They've got ready. When you passed Doyle, they'll hit them, so when you passed Doyle, pull him to get down on the floor immediately, and do it fast!" Besse nodded her head.

"I'll protect you from the side, don't be afraid," Oscar reassured her.

Besse looked at Oscar, looking at his familiar face. Still, she didn't say anything. Oscar seemed to expect that Besse wouldn't give him any response. Her rejection of him was obvious. And today's accident seemed to make her rejection even more apparent.

After finishing his instructions, Oscar left Besse's side. Skye didn't know what they said, but in his eyes, Doyle's life was more important than Besse's. Therefore, he bet Oscar would prioritize Doyle's life and not act recklessly.

"Okay," Besse said. "I can come over now."

Skye narrowed his eyes and counted down, "Three... two... one!"

The mercenaries who had been holding onto Doyle let go of their guns.

"Doyle!" Besse was afraid Doyle might do something reckless that would ruin their plan if he panicked or acted impulsively.

Doyle gritted his teeth and chose to compromise.

Besse couldn't relax for a second; she kept staring at Doyle with a look that told him to come over.

Doyle understood the desire in Besse's eyes as he slowly moved towards her step by step. Luckily, Doyle would always listen to Besse. Or, he would have chosen to suicide instead of risking her life. Besse was walking nervously too. Before the two of them passed each other, it was tense. Oscar's eyes were fixed on them.

Finally, they met.
