Facing the two choices presented by Leon, Prince Freckles uncharacteristically stood his ground.
He didn't choose to directly hand over the intelligence, nor did he choose to take Leon's slap hard; instead, he bravely carved out a third path...
First, he took a beating, then tearfully handed over the intelligence about the future.
*What were you even thinking?*
Seeing Joshua, with snot and tears mingled into a mess, still covering his swollen cheek while glaring at him indignantly, Leon couldn't help but sigh, feeling that he might have overdone it a bit this time.
Even though he carried the title of Prince and was causing trouble everywhere, Prince Freckles was actually younger than his sister Anna. He hadn't even grown a beard yet and was still essentially a half-grown child. Not only did Leon rely on force to beat him up, but he also snatched his "things," which was somewhat immoral.
