Chapter 75: She Vows to Make Him Fall in Love with Her!

In the early morning, Christine awoke from a dream.

Lately, she either suffered from insomnia or was constantly dreaming.

Her heart was usually clear, and she rarely dreamed.

If she did dream, it must be God sending her a message.

However, ever since meeting Hall, that inexplicable sense of familiarity had lingered in her heart and had not dissipated.

She also dreamed frequently, occasionally of Hall.

But she felt that the dreams about Hall were always very distant.

The dream she had more often was a very strange one.

She was dressed in a white gown, with a silver crown on her head, standing on a high tower somewhere unknown, and countless pure white feathers fell from the night sky.

It should have been a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

But every time a feather drifted away from her, she would feel that she had lost something.

Her heart felt empty, and when she finally woke up from the dream, she could only see the ceiling of her room, which was painted with a picture of “The Angel and the Saintess.”

“Lady Christine, you’re awake. Were you very tired yesterday…”

‘Is that why…’

She looked to her side, where a nervous Maria stood by the bed.

The rain outside had stopped, but the sky was as dark as yesterday.

‘But it’s probably not that early.’

“Mmm… I was a bit tired yesterday. Has the time for Mass passed?”

“It has already passed. It was completed by me and several other nuns leading the people. I know it’s the end of the year and you’re busy translating ancient documents to submit to Lord Rohn, but please don’t overwork yourself.”

Maria looked worried.

“Then what about the task I gave you yesterday? Did you complete it well?”

Christine sat up in bed.

Maria quickly said.

“It’s done. I heard that Young Master Hall of the Faxtius family didn’t return all night. He slept in a hotel in the Twelfth District belonging to the Child family. As for Miss Leticia, she went back. I’m not very clear.”

“As expected… he went to find Leticia yesterday? I knew it from that moment.”

The process of Christine bestowing her blessing as Ye Wangxue entered the city was very simple.

Because the other two saintess candidates in the city didn’t participate at all.

She was the only one who participated. As for the other four saintess candidates, they were scattered in the other four countries of the Western Continent.

She had no rivals.

And of course, she had her own selfish reasons for participating.

But Hall didn’t come. Her only gain was seeing Ye Wangxue.

Hall’s fiancée was indeed very beautiful, a different kind of beautiful from her.

After all, she was an Eastern woman, and to the people of Saint Louis, she had an exotic charm.

As for more information, time was limited, and she didn’t obtain any.

Maria had gone to investigate for her.

“Yes, Lady Christine. He actually went to find Leticia on his engagement day. It’s hard to understand. Does he really like Leticia? That guy, if he could settle down because of Leticia, it would be a blessing for Saint Louis.”

Maria chattered on at the side.

But Christine felt inexplicably annoyed.

Originally, she wouldn’t have been annoyed. As a saintess candidate, cultivating her character was a basic requirement.

Moreover, on the outside, she lived a very casual life.

“That’s enough, Maria. Help me keep an eye on his movements again, for example, the outcome of this marriage contract.”

“Yes, Lady Christine. But is it really necessary for you to pay so much attention to Hall?”

Maria was very strange. Why was Christine paying so much attention to Hall?

Hall was currently engaged. If Christine got too close to Hall, it would inevitably lead to gossip.

The support for a saintess candidate was very important and would affect the saintess election at the end of next year.

“Of course, it is.”

Christine said seriously.

“Ah, why?”

Maria was very confused.

“Think about it. The College of Cardinals is clearly not on good terms with the East, yet Lord Rohn had me attend this engagement and bestow a blessing on the fiancée. Isn’t Lord Rohn’s intention obvious, Maria? Before this marriage contract has a formal result, we must build a good relationship with Hall and his fiancée.”

“Oh, oh…”

Maria quickly nodded after listening.

But Christine was lying to her.

Because all of this was her own guess.

She didn’t care about the truth.

“He really– didn’t come back all night?”

“He didn’t come back, Princess. This Hall Faxtius is really too much. How can a fiancé act like this? Even if they don’t like each other and want to break off the engagement, he should at least show some respect.”

Xiao Lu was indignant.

The current situation was even worse than before.

If this matter were to spread back to the East, Ye Wangxue’s reputation would have only two possibilities: either it would plummet, or she would be pitied by the people.

For something like this to happen in the East was simply unimaginable.

“I know.”

Ye Wangxue was currently staying in a guest room at the Faxtius residence.

Although it was called a guest room, it was actually a room prepared for the future mistress of the Faxtius family.

It was not far from Hall’s room, just across a corridor.

“Princess, let’s break off the engagement as soon as possible. Saint Louis is not safe either. Those assassins last night were obviously targeting you. The engagement is a small matter, but safety is a big one. Since Hall Faxtius is like this, we don’t need to see him again. We can just go through the procedures for breaking off the engagement with the witness of Himan and Himan’s mother.”

Xiao Lu was still shaken by yesterday’s events.

If she hadn’t also practiced swordsmanship, and Ye Wangxue’s strength and weapon were not very strong.

It was very likely that those people would have killed them.

And the forces in Saint Louis were complex and intertwined. They were unfamiliar with the place.

Trying to find the culprit was also a fantasy.

“Yes, what you said is not wrong. But no, we should pause for now.”

Ye Wangxue had a breath of anger held in her heart.

She felt that she had been played by Hall and couldn’t just leave Saint Louis like this.

“Princess, it’s very dangerous.”

Xiao Lu quickly tried to dissuade her.

“I know it’s dangerous, but isn’t that better, Xiao Lu? The incident last night happened on a rainy night, and the only witnesses were the two of us. It wasn’t known to others. But what if there is a second assassination attempt? What if the second assassination attempt is known to the newspapers in this city?”

Ye Wangxue said lightly, “The princess of the East is assassinated in the capital of the Papal State. Who do you think will be in the right?”

She continued, “Furthermore, Miss Himan also said yesterday that she hopes I will spend some time with Hall before considering breaking off the engagement. They probably won’t agree to break it off now. They want a more legitimate and publicly acceptable reason. So I think we can take a gamble.”

After listening to Ye Wangxue’s three-part analysis, Xiao Lu felt it was very reasonable.

She quickly nodded in agreement.

“Since you are willing to gamble with your own safety, Princess, I believe that when your father finds out, he will definitely not let you participate in such a childish marriage again.”

“Perhaps, that would be for the best.”

Ye Wangxue replied.

But in her heart, she was thinking about something else.

Why was she staying in Saint Louis?

Because!

She would make Hall fall in love with her, then propose to break off the engagement, make him beg her to stay, and then cut ties with those不清不白 women.

Only in this way could she vent the anger in her heart!
