Chapter 68: She Has Resolved to Possess Him Alone

‘Hall is still not here?’

Her first reaction wasn’t to wonder where Hall had gone, but a sense of relief that he wasn’t there.

The sound of the heavy rain was pushed to the back of her mind. The pressure released by that sentence almost made Himan throw her umbrella away.

After the surge of emotions came an extraordinary calm.

She lifted her head and looked straight at the main entrance of the Faxtius residence.

She saw Lov waving at her, and Xiao Lu peeking out from the driver’s seat of the carriage to observe her.

She began to analyze the current situation.

‘Could it be that Hall listened to my advice and really wants to break off the engagement?’

But such a radical approach was really…

A bit too much, wasn’t it?

A thousand thoughts raced through Himan’s mind, but since she was here, she had to help Hall clean up his mess.

Otherwise, the headline news across the entire East and West continents would surely be the sensational gossip of the second son of the Faxtius family abandoning his bride on their engagement day.

This would be detrimental to the Faxtius family’s reputation and would give Great Xia the upper hand in the public opinion war against the West.

“Baron Hall, is he not here?”

She said formally, not addressing him as her cousin.

“That’s right, Miss Himan. You are the Young Master’s cousin, this…”

Seeing Himan was like finding a true savior. Lov decided to let Himan face off against Ye Wangxue. If that didn’t work, Lorraine was still in the manor and hadn’t shown up.

Plus, the Young Master had run off directly.

This time, this time the advantage was on their side.

The engagement would be broken off, no doubt!

“I understand.”

Himan walked forward, holding her umbrella.

Xiao Lu also watched Himan the whole time, understanding her identity from Lov’s words.

In the intelligence they had gathered, Himan, as his cousin, was said to despise her profligate cousin.

So she said, “Miss Himan, I think Baron Hall’s actions are somewhat biased.”

“That’s true.”

Himan first affirmed this point. Anyway, her goal was also to make this marriage fall through.

In her view, the fact that Ye Wangxue in the carriage was still calm meant that her motives were impure. If she really wanted to marry Hall, she would have been furious by now.

“Then, Miss Himan, as Baron Hall’s cousin, how do you think today’s matter should be handled? According to the customs of my Great Xia… on the day of the engagement, the fiancé…”

“This matter is indeed the Faxtius family’s fault. I apologize to you on my cousin’s behalf, but there must be a reason for him to disregard this marriage so much…”

As the only daughter, Himan naturally knew some political rhetoric.

Hall’s evasive attitude now certainly couldn’t be fanned by directly mentioning breaking off the engagement. And since his older sister and father were not in Saint Louis, the person to mention breaking it off.

Should be her, his cousin.

So she continued, “In my humble opinion, the Seventh Princess Ye and my cousin have never met.”

“That’s right.”

Xiao Lu nodded.

She thought Himan was easy to talk to.

“Then, how should I put it? They are both young men and women. Although there is a possibility that they might like each other, due to cultural differences and their lack of familiarity with each other… the possibility of them not liking each other is higher.”

“That’s right.”

Xiao Lu continued to nod.

She felt that today was going very smoothly.

It was rare for Himan to see things so clearly.

She even had a premonition of what Himan was going to say next.

If it was said by Himan, it would be perfect.

“I think, the reason my cousin did not appear today is probably also to be responsible for the Seventh Princess Ye’s future. We in the Western Continent have always pursued freedom in love. It is really unnecessary for two people who do not like each other to become husband and wife.”

Himan said lightly.

After saying this, she actually felt very happy.

But it was not appropriate to directly mention breaking off the engagement, as it could easily be spun by the media into news that the Faxtius family was dissatisfied with this Great Xia princess fiancée.

So she continued to add, “Then, the Seventh Princess Ye can stay in Saint Louis for some time. If you are still not satisfied with each other, then you can each take a step back and annul this marriage. How about that?”

“My mother is the sister of Hall’s mother. I will witness this together with my mother.”

Himan put down her umbrella and raised her right hand.

She made the special gesture of a Papal State noble making an oath in the heavy rain.

Seeing her do this, Xiao Lu was so moved she was about to cry.

Wow, how could it be so smooth?

The princess’s happiness for the rest of her life wouldn’t have to be buried in Saint Louis. She had originally thought that Young Master Hall would pester Ye Wangxue, and might even propose to share a room tonight.

But it turned out that Young Master Hall had gone to find Duchess Leticia. It was a loss of face for the woman’s side.

But the result was good in the end.

Lov also thought it was great.

A win-win, everyone won!

Ye Wangxue in the carriage had also heard the entire process with her excellent hearing. At this moment, she lifted the carriage curtain again.

She saw Himan standing in the heavy rain.

She thought it was very good. It seemed her profligate fiancé did not like to be bound by marriage. Now, the next step was to make Hall take the initiative to break off the engagement.

However.

On the day of her own engagement, he went to accompany another woman…

She was not completely without a temper. In order to gain the upper hand in public opinion in the future, she said.

“Cousin Himan, I heard that my husband is with Duchess Leticia at this moment. Is this true?”

In that instant, the two women’s gazes met completely.

From the Tenth to the Twelfth District were almost all the commercial streets or recreational areas of Saint Louis.

Among them, the Twelfth District was special.

The Twelfth District was not small in area, but thirty percent of it belonged to the Child family’s amusement park.

It was a large theme park, claiming that as long as you came, you could experience the feeling of being a “prince” and “princess.”

It was a place where almost all the girls in the Western Continent would come to take pictures and commemorate their visit.

Coming here meant you were a person of high status.

What was even more fatal was that the ticket prices and services here were quite expensive, otherwise how could it support the land prices of Saint Louis and generate profits for the Child family?

So many outsiders would have to spend one or two years’ savings for a trip here.

When Hall first started playing the game and read the description of Childland, he had denounced the corruption of capitalism.

But now…

He felt that, corrupt or not, this place was indeed fully equipped.

The top-tier service, the top-tier environment, and the top-tier male and female attendants.

However, for him, who was already the son of a duke, he could still resist the temptation.

Even with Leticia dressed in the park’s special cute pink and white maid costume by his side, he could still hold back.

“Hall, is this really okay? You’re not going back today?”

“Yeah, not going back. Leticia, have you booked a room for me?”

Hall really had no intention of going back.

‘Go back for what?’ Let Ye Wangxue stew for a night, let her get so angry she breaks off the engagement and leaves.

If they were to meet, what excuse could he use to explain the matter of the Underground Street?

Coming to find Leticia was also to ensure that Leticia and Ye Wangxue would not meet, that the identity of Chick Phoenix would not be exposed, and that Ye Wangxue could break off the engagement and leave safely.

“Ah, yes. As long as you say so, Hall, I’ve arranged everything, of course.”

Leticia was actually very happy.

She had been worried for days. She had originally planned to go to the engagement ceremony this morning as well.

But she had met Hall on the way.

Learning that he was not going to the engagement, she was very happy, despite the surprise.

At this moment, she looked at the black-haired young man gazing out the window at the dim world outside.

She thought again of the small bottle of succubus blood she had bought from the Underground Street the day before yesterday.

And the exorbitant check with the numbers already written on it that she had asked Moyel to take to the Xia Kingdom embassy today, and the fireworks that might bloom in the park.

In order to pursue happiness, to possess him completely.

She had already made multiple preparations.
