Only after hearing Hancock's explanation did Lott understand why.
It turned out to be because he had attacked the Celestial Dragons, and the Celestial Dragons were a nightmare that Hancock could never shake off.
So Hancock had kept following news about him afterward, never expecting that she would fall in love with him over time.
Lott couldn't help touching his face, secretly preening to himself. Am I really that handsome? Even the world's most beautiful woman has fallen for me.
"Um... well, Lord Lott, c-could I invite you to have dinner with me?"

"Come take a look! Fresh Sea King, hunted just today!"
"Come try today's freshly cooked Giant Wild Boar meat!"
"You want a twenty-kilogram broadsword
