Before she could answer, the office door opened, and a beautiful figure stepped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a mature woman with white hair tied neatly into a bun. Even her long, curled eyelashes were white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wore a casual pink dress that made her look elegant and charming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shion recognized her immediately—it was Claire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Claire?\" Her eyebrows lifted slightly. \"What are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire didn't answer at first. Her gaze, filled with love and longing, was fixed on Nolan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I came to visit,\" she replied casually. \"Why? Don't you welcome me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She finally tore her eyes away from Nolan and shot Shion a displeased glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not like that.\" Shion smiled awkwardly. \"It's just… you came so suddenly. I thought something had happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood up and added, \"Have a seat. What would you like to drink?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire walked over and sat down beside Nolan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just tea,\" Claire replied shortly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shion nodded and went to brew some tea for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luna wanted to help, but Shion told her to go take a nap instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's been a long time, Your Highness. How have you been?\" Claire asked softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan smiled. \"I'm fine. How about you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm fine too. By the way, I heard you killed the First Prince of the Ancient Kingdom of Eron—Aldrian Lyren. Is that true?\" she asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aldrian's death couldn't be hidden by the royal family. The news had already spread across the entire southern continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the identity of the one responsible remained a mystery—even to Claire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But about a week ago, Shion told her the truth: the culprit was Nolan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Claire was deeply shocked and could hardly believe it. Yet she also knew Shion had no reason to lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why she was so eager to meet Nolan. Unfortunately, arranging a meeting with him was incredibly difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But luckily, she received word that Nolan had visited the Blue Moon office today, so she came straight there without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan nodded and didn't deny it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I'm the one who killed him. As for the reason… it's a bit complicated. But in the end, I did it because Aldrian tried to rape my sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, his expression turned cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rape your sister?\" Claire's face darkened. \"That's despicable! No wonder you killed him—he deserved it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan was surprised by her reaction. As far as he remembered, Claire was always calm and gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was rare to see her this angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your support.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan patted her head, and Claire's face instantly flushed with embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, whenever Nolan treated her like that, she always felt at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, though, she was much older than him. She shouldn't have felt that way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet reality told a different story—she actually enjoyed it immensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, her gaze fell on Eira, who was sitting on Nolan's lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is this little girl, Your Highness?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's Eira—the little dragon who used to love chocolate. Do you remember?\" Nolan replied, poking Eira's cheek with his index finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eira?\" Claire was stunned. \"How could she have grown so fast? As far as I recall, it hasn't even been a year since you brought her back, has it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Claire wasn't very familiar with dragons, she knew their growth was usually slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a baby dragon could take hundreds of years to enter adolescence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe Eira didn't need that long. But… less than a year?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eira is special. I gave her many precious potions—so valuable their worth can't even be measured,\" Nolan explained casually as he stroked the little girl's hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see…\" Claire nodded slowly, her gaze never leaving Eira.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, the little girl reminded her of herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If Nolan and I had a child… would she look like her?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the thought crossed her mind, Claire froze, then quickly slapped both her cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'W-What am I thinking? How could I even think something like that?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan was far younger than her—he was even younger than her late nephew, Zarak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong? Why do you look so distracted?\" Nolan's confused voice came from beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire immediately sat up straight and shook her head stiffly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"N-Nothing. By the way, Your Highness, I have a business matter I need to discuss with you,\" she said hurriedly, quickly changing the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\" Nolan nodded and smiled. \"Tell me what's on your mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire calmed herself and began discussing work matters with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan was the majority shareholder of the White Lotus Trading House.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, Claire was indeed the owner. However, she knew she was merely managing it on his behalf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, major decisions still had to be discussed with Nolan, even though Nolan had once said it wasn't necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days later…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan threw a flurry of punches and kicks at Evalyn. However, Evalyn managed to dodge them—though with some difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan stopped and nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your reactions are excellent. You're improving so quickly,\" he praised admiringly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder his father, the emperor, had once said Evalyn was a genius. In just three days, she had made astonishing progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evalyn panted heavily, but she was grinning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you. It's all thanks to your teaching and training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her doubts and arrogance had vanished. All that remained was her recognition of Nolan's ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man she used to defeat so easily had now become the one helping her when she needed it most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are still two days left. We'll use them to sharpen your reflexes and physical strength,\" Nolan stated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the wooden sword that had been prepared and tossed it to Evalyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evalyn caught it and spun it in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, she lunged at Nolan. Her sword rose high before swinging straight toward his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan dodged easily, but Evalyn didn't stop there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using her body weight, she twisted her hips and swung her sword horizontally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, Nolan simply ducked and avoided the strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took advantage of Evalyn's slightly off-balance posture and threw a punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Evalyn seemed to anticipate it. She bent her knees and leapt backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stared at each other for a brief moment, then dashed forward and resumed fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their movements were swift, and their attacks carried enough force to seriously injure each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After fifteen minutes, Evalyn began to tire. Nolan immediately seized the opening—he grabbed her left wrist, pulled it down, and pressed her arm in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You lost again,\" Nolan said with a smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evalyn let out a small sigh. But this time, there was no frustration like before—only relief, along with a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You won.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1112,"2026-05-30T06:57:33.623Z","2026-06-01T04:30:35.482Z",1,"novelbin.me","a1b884fe7153bbad422447c94cbc98ba43db87b6a0b3dd189d0ebac064a7e106","the-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-chapter-716","the-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-chapter-608",748,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-cover.jpg"]
