Chapter 64: Yandere Sister is Brewing a Special Potion

Himan’s logic was actually quite simple.

The main reason Hall was being slandered now was because the Xia Kingdom princess was his fiancée. If Hall could break off the engagement and express a firm stance against marrying an Eastern woman.

The rumors would collapse on their own.

He had to break off the engagement.

Given Hall’s reputation in the past few years, who knew what those Easterners were planning.

How could they possibly marry a princess to him?

“Break off the engagement. You’re right, Himan.”

Hall rarely felt that he and Himan were on the same page.

How could he not break it off?

As soon as Ye Wangxue uttered the words “break off the engagement,” he would immediately take her to complete the procedures, and then see her off without a second thought.

“Hall, you also think you should break off the engagement?”

“Of course. I’m not stupid.”

Hall nodded.

Himan was very happy inside.

Finally, Hall had finally come to his senses.

And this matter of breaking off the engagement wasn’t actually Himan’s own idea. It was yesterday, when she was very worried that the Xia Kingdom princess marrying Hall had ulterior motives, that she talked to her mother about it.

As a result, the noble lady told her, “Then just break it off. How can my nephew marry an Eastern woman with ulterior motives?”

Himan was quite shocked at first, thinking, ‘Can an engagement like this be broken off just like that?’

The impact would be huge. Although Hall was the son of a duke, breaking off the engagement with a princess of the Xia Kingdom.

But her mother’s next words put her at ease.

“Himan, my good daughter, think about it. Can you accept your cousin being manipulated by an Eastern woman? You know best who Hall’s original fiancée was. I’ve told you these past few years, but you were unwilling. Now that he’s going to marry an Eastern woman, it will harm both our families.”

Mrs. Von Braun’s roundabout words successfully manipulated Himan.

This aunt of hers had always wanted her own daughter to marry her nephew. She had watched Hall grow up. Having no son of her own, and after her sister, Mrs. Faxtius, died, she had regarded Hall as her own son.

And she only had one daughter, Himan. How could she let Himan be taken by some other family’s pig? It had to be Hall.

Hall was not only a satisfactory husband for her, but it was also a marriage that would bring the families closer.

Unfortunately, Himan and Hall’s relationship these past three years couldn’t be described as water and fire, but they were like strangers.

This had made Mrs. Von Braun very anxious.

But who was she? An old hand.

She knew this matter couldn’t be rushed. If she pushed Himan too hard, it might backfire and cause Himan to become rebellious.

So she had never pushed her daughter. For three years, Himan’s attitude towards Hall had been bad, but she hadn’t rushed to say anything. She would only occasionally side with Hall when Himan was sulking at home.

This gave Himan the feeling that “Mother likes Hall, but she won’t interfere with my feelings on principle.”

Now, this lady felt it was time, it was about time.

It was time to make a move.

Himan and Hall’s relationship had already eased a lot, and she could see the worry in Himan’s eyes about Hall’s marriage.

The feelings from their childhood were still there, after all. It was time for her to make a move and have her daughter and nephew get married.

‘What Eastern princess? Trying to marry into their family? Don’t even think about it! We don’t let our own family’s benefits go to outsiders!’

So after a night of discussion between mother and daughter, the mother had successfully re-molded her daughter’s thinking.

But to prevent Himan from noticing anything suspicious, she only emphasized that this abnormal marriage must be called off.

“Yes, that’s good, Hall. This marriage, my mother, your aunt, said it’s very abnormal. You must break it off.”

“I know. Just put my aunt’s mind at ease.”

Hall felt much more relaxed now.

After all, both Himan’s father and his own father were away from home all year round. And this was a major matter of marriage, which was usually decided by the mistress of the house.

And his mother had passed away early, so his aunt had a lot of say in this matter. Now with his aunt’s attitude.

Plus, Ye Wangxue was definitely going to break off the engagement. It was a sure thing.

Really a sure thing.

The plot would develop according to the game’s trajectory. The only uncertain danger was that Leticia now suspected Ye Wangxue was Chick Phoenix.

This information was definitely not Leticia’s own deduction. It came from the Child family’s intelligence department, and the Child family had a seat in the College of Cardinals.

If this matter was reported to the College of Cardinals, Ye Wangxue would be in great danger.

“Okay, Hall, good luck. When the time comes, let your actions make those rumors collapse on their own! I’ll help too.”

Himan would not allow the expansion of injustice.

“Okay.”

He nodded.

Ready to wait for that day to come.

“Brother’s fiancée is coming so soon?”

At the Faxtius residence.

Lorraine didn’t leave the house every day. The thing she did most was not theology.

It was secretly going to her brother’s bed while Hall was at school to roll around on the sheets.

Of course, Lorraine didn’t just roll around on the sheets, covering her face with Hall’s pillow and hugging the quilt, taking a small sniff.

She would also collect things like the hair Hall left on the sheets every day.

It would be of great use in the future. Her knowledge of theology was not limited to simple skills like prayer, blessing, protection, and healing.

She was able to obtain the succubus feather because the theology major Lorraine was in also researched this area.

Compared to other majors, she could get as close as possible to the forbidden arts of the past.

“Yes, Young Miss. The future mistress might be coming soon. I think…”

Lov’s current strategy was to unite with Lorraine to first confront that Eastern princess.

Anyway, Lorraine and Hall were blood relatives. Even if they had feelings beyond that of siblings, they couldn’t have contact beyond that of siblings.

“What future mistress? Lov, you should have a basis for what you say.”

Lorraine was very angry when she heard this term.

Lov, however, was secretly happy. ‘Very good, it seems the Young Miss will absolutely not tolerate that Eastern princess.’

And between a woman with no emotional foundation and his sister, the Young Master would definitely choose his sister.

‘One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.’

“But… since there is already an engagement, Young Miss, do you really think the Young Master can successfully break off the engagement on his own?”

“If brother doesn’t like her, can’t he break off the engagement? It’s just…”

Lorraine really didn’t want a sister-in-law.

But she suddenly felt that Lov was right. This matter couldn’t be decided by Hall alone.

The engagement was definitely related to their father. Moreover, for a princess of a country to be rejected by Hall, it would be a loss of face.

No matter how unwilling she was, no matter how much she wanted Hall to break off the engagement, she knew the stakes.

“So Miss, right now the Young Master is only engaged to that Eastern princess, not yet married. Breaking off the engagement might require a long-term battle from us.”

Lov’s thinking was very clear.

Lorraine thought for a moment and then nodded.

If necessary, she had a way to force her sister-in-law to retreat.

As long as, as long as she could collect more of her brother’s hair.

And make that potion…

But before the two young ladies and the maid of the Faxtius family could think further.

An envoy from the College of Cardinals arrived at the Faxtius residence with a letter.

It read.

—Tomorrow morning at seven, the engagement between Hall Faxtius and Ye Wangxue will be officially announced to the public.

And.

—In five days, Ye Wangxue will arrive in Saint Louis.
