Chapter 73 : The Princess cannot accept it!

Himan knew. She had known Hall since they were children.

Back then, she had even laughed at Lorraine, saying, “You’re so attached to your brother. What will you do when you get married and move out?”

“I won’t marry anyone else. I’ll marry my brother.”

She remembered Lorraine answering like that.

But it was just the innocent words of a child. They weren’t old enough to talk about marriage back then.

Because Himan had no siblings of her own, she also regarded Lorraine as her own sister.

So she just laughed and thought nothing of it.

But things had gotten a bit strange these past few years.

And a month ago, on that rainy day when she went to Hall’s house, it was the same. That day, she saw Lorraine sitting on Hall’s lap and thought that Lorraine must have feelings for Hall that went beyond those of a sibling.

Now that Leticia had said it, Himan also became vigilant.

But she didn’t say anything.

She just remained silent.

Lorraine also heard the implication in Leticia’s words and said.

“This is our family’s business. It’s not for an outsider like you to meddle in.”

Leticia, not to be outdone, took a few steps forward, closing the distance to Lorraine.

The two girls were not far apart in height, with Leticia being slightly taller. At this moment, their heads were about to bump together.

And they had known each other before this.

Lorraine had once been Leticia’s deskmate.

Because for the head of the Child family, besides taking theology courses to cultivate her character and ensure she could understand when the various Cardinals in the College of Cardinals discussed theological secrets, she basically didn’t need to learn anything else.

And Lorraine was the most outstanding female student of her age in the Theology Faculty that year.

So the dean had this benefactor sit with Lorraine.

Their relationship was quite good in the past, and Leticia would occasionally ask Lorraine for news about Hall from the side.

Because the frequency was low in the past, Lorraine hadn’t even realized that her good deskmate had been secretly eyeing her brother.

And now, hearing this, did she still want to be her sister-in-law?

“No, don’t even think about it.”

“That’s not for you to decide. The only person with the right to decide is Hall!”

One thought the other, as a sister, actually liked her brother, while the other thought this good deskmate was actually eyeing her brother.

Neither would back down.

It was Lov who had the foresight.

She thought, ‘Sisters, don’t fight amongst yourselves. There’s still a bigger obstacle right now.’

“Alright, Duchess Leticia, Miss Lorraine, let’s not argue about the future Mrs. Faxtius. There’s still a legitimate madam somewhere out there. We need to go find her. If something happens to her, it could cause a serious diplomatic incident between the East and West continents.”

At this, Himan quickly nodded.

‘Ye Wangxue, what if something happens to her?’

So she said to have Lorraine and Lov wait here. After she escorted Leticia back, she would immediately come back to find Ye Wangxue.

Ye Wangxue ran frantically in the heavy rain. She was certain that the person was Hall.

The young man who had claimed to be an elite of the Salvation Church in the Sixth District was actually her fiancé whom she had never met, the profligate young master who was described by others as being “in this woman’s bed today, and bringing that woman home tomorrow.”

Hahaha…

Ye Wangxue suddenly felt a little like laughing.

Because the moment she saw his face, she was certain that she hadn’t been mistaken.

If it was a case of mistaken identity from hundreds of meters away, looking up with the light of the fireworks, but that one glance…

Why?

Why was it like this?

Ye Wangxue couldn’t accept it. The moment she understood, she felt as if she had lost something.

Because from that operation until her return to Great Xia more than a month later.

Her deepest impression of Saint Louis, the image or person.

Was him and Mandosha Flower.

She had listened to his words, “If it doesn’t work out, just run away from the marriage.”

She had also wondered where she should run to if she really did run away from the marriage.

As she had said, it was indeed best to join the Salvation Church.

In the Eastern Continent, Great Xia’s influence was too great. As long as she was in the Eastern Continent, her father had the means to capture her and bring her back.

So, she would occasionally wonder, when would she meet him again?

If they met again, she would definitely give him a sword strike, and then give him a stalk of gentleman’s orchid, a unique flower from the East.

Yes, the last time she was at the night market in the imperial capital of Great Xia, she had chosen a stalk of gentleman’s orchid.

She had preserved it in a special Western magic vial, and it was still very good.

She had also brought it with her for this engagement.

Because she would also wonder, when she came for the engagement, would he show up? If they could meet again, she would give this to him.

“A joke, it’s really like a joke. Ye Wangxue, oh, Ye Wangxue…”

She muttered something. Because the rain was too heavy, her long hair was now wet and stuck to the corner of her mouth.

“The first young man you had a slight fondness for is your fiancé, and the person you want to break off the engagement with is also your fiancé, and he’s with another girl on your engagement day…”

Ye Wangxue didn’t know what she should be feeling.

Originally, she also felt that she had no feelings. Even if Hall slept with Leticia tonight, she wouldn’t have any feelings.

Before she came, she even thought that if she could catch Hall and Leticia in bed, she could successfully break off the engagement that night, and even extort a sum of hush money from Hall’s family.

But what was the result?

The clown was herself.

If she really caught Hall and Leticia in bed, the person who would break down would probably be her.

She couldn’t imagine that scene.

What should she do now?

Continue to break off the engagement?

She…

Ye Wangxue also had her own pride. To be played by Hall like this.

There was a huge ball of anger stored in her chest.

And because of this, her pace slowed down a bit, allowing Xiao Lu to finally catch up after a while.

“Princess… what’s wrong with you?”

Having been Ye Wangxue’s study companion since childhood, Xiao Lu was naturally aware of whether Ye Wangxue was acting abnormally.

But she was puzzled, what was going on?

Thinking back to the situation just now, could the man and woman on top of the castle be Hall and Leticia?

But the princess didn’t need to run, right? She should have gone straight to the top floor to confront them.

Then the engagement would be broken off.

But she wasn’t on the top floor at the time and didn’t know what had happened.

When Ye Wangxue ran, she was still on the spiral staircase.

“It’s nothing.”

Xiao Lu was very speechless.

She thought, ‘Why are you still being stubborn in front of me?’

‘Don’t I understand you?’

“Princess, if you have something to say, just say it. Were the people on the floor just now Hall and Leticia, that adulterous pair? Did they do something to you, Princess, that gave you such a big shock?”

Xiao Lu was indignant.

She wished she could go back with Ye Wangxue right now to settle the score with Hall.

But Ye Wangxue had no interest in that at all.

She was very tired, and also felt very cold. She just wanted to find a place to sleep well.

“Forget it, we’ll talk about it tomorrow.”

“Ah, tomorrow? Tomorrow is fine too…”

Xiao Lu was a bit surprised, but she felt it was not impossible.

If they just let Hall and Leticia be, if Hall didn’t return all night, they could make a big news story tomorrow.

“Let’s go back to the Faxtius house first…”

Before Ye Wangxue could finish her sentence, she suddenly felt a murderous sword intent.

Xiao Lu also shouted.

“Not good, Princess, there’s an assassin!”
