Chapter 1553 - 1553 The Only Way
1553 The Only Way
Chu Nan widened his eyes and looked at Princess Romanti in shock.
“Don’t look at me with such an expression.” Princess Romanti shrugged, “When Uncle Lekas found Father, he did not specify for Viennelle to be this candidate. In fact, compared to her, he feels that I’m more suitable. This is because I’ve known you for longer and spent more time with you. Most importantly, I’m stronger than Viennelle. In Uncle Lekas’s opinion, I’m simply a perfect match for you.”
Chu Nan was immediately speechless.
He could imagine why Prince Lekas made such an evaluation, but now that Princess Romanti had said this, wasn’t it obvious that she knew very well the plan of Prince Lekas and her father, Prince Rokamp?
Princess Romanti clearly saw the meaning in Chu Nan’s eyes. She smiled and said, “Uncle Lekas doesn’t have the intention to hide his thoughts from me and Viennelle, but he also made it very clear that it’s an undeniable fact that you’ve grasped the Exterminating Heart Technique. It’s impossible to make the Elder Council and the other clansmen believe that you comprehended the Exterminating Heart Technique yourself. Therefore, one person has to step forward and make a sacrifice to successfully save you.”
“So… you rejected Prince Lekas’ suggestion and Viennelle stood up and decided to use this method to save me?” Chu Nan asked.
“Let me make it clear first. It’s not that I don’t want to save you.” Princess Romanti looked at Chu Nan with a serious expression, “You saved me in the Endless Abyss and even helped me reconstruct my body, allowing me to obtain a powerful body that I originally needed a long time to obtain. If I can save your life in return, I’m willing to do anything, including marrying you. In any case, you helped me reconstruct my body, so it’s not a problem to hand it to you. However…”
However…
“However, Viennelle fell in love with you at first sight. She liked you and I knew her thoughts, so I rejected Prince Lekas and let her be chosen.”
“I see…”
Chu Nan could not help but sigh.
The reason why Prince Lekas found Prince Rokamp was probably because he had discovered his good relationship with Princess Romanti. His initial goal should be to choose her.
However, after Princess Romanti rejected and Princess Viennelle agreed, he naturally agreed.
In any case, regardless of whether it was Prince Lekas or Prince Rokamp, they only needed a princess to appear as this candidate. The other aspects were not important, and they would not mind.
“I originally thought that this could fulfill Viennelle’s wish, but from the looks of it… I might have done something wrong.” Princess Romanti smiled bitterly, revealing a trace of gloom on her usually hearty face, “I originally felt that since Viennelle likes you, she would definitely be very happy to have a chance to marry you. However, I neglected something, and that is… you don’t like her.”
Chu Nan frowned and waved his hand, “I don’t…”
“There’s no need to explain.” Princess Romanti raised her hand and interrupted Chu Nan, “I’m not talking about you hating her, but you don’t like her as much as you like Angie Prairie. If you insist on forcing you to marry Viennelle, this won’t be a good thing for you or her. Even if I believe that with your personality, you can behave yourself after marrying her, you’ll definitely have Angie Prairie in your heart, right?”
Chu Nan hesitated for a moment before nodding.
“Yes, this is my greatest worry now. Viennelle is a good girl, but I indeed don’t like her as much as I like Angie Prairie. If I marry her, it’s not fair to her.”
“Therefore, I told you that it was better for me to agree to Uncle Lekas and let me be your betrothal. I don’t like you like Viennelle. Instead, it’s easier for me to stay with you normally. This result is also more fair to Angie Prairie and Viennelle and won’t let them be injured now,” Princess Romanti sighed.
Chu Nan focused his gaze on her and could not help but ask, “What about you? Won’t you be injured?”
“What injury?” Princess Romanti glanced at Chu Nan in confusion, “I’m not Viennelle. I only treat you as a friend. Even if you don’t like me, it has nothing to do with me.”
“But this is marriage…”
“So what if I’m married?” Princess Romanti waved her hand and looked like she did not mind at all, “This is only in name. I don’t care at all. Moreover, I originally planned to never get married in my life and have always been worried that I would be forced by Father and Mother to marry some guy I hate in the future. It’s not bad for me to marry you now. At the very least, you don’t hate me. Moreover… don’t forget that you’ve seen me naked many times in the alternate space, right?”
Chu Nan could only roll his eyes.
“Alright, it’s useless to say this now. My engagement with Viennelle has already become an established fact. To be honest, Romanti, is there any way to avoid this engagement without hurting her?”
“Yes.”
“Ah?”
Chu Nan was originally only asking casually, but he did not expect Princess Romanti to give such a straightforward answer that shocked him.
“There is? There’s really such a method?”
“Of course.”
Princess Romanti nodded with certainty and raised her head to look at the surrounding sky. Her gaze swept past the other Declan royal families who were still floating around those large drill grounds as if they were observing the two of them. She activated her Internal Breath and directly used spatial energy to microwave vibration to send her voice into Chu Nan’s ears.
“Chu Nan, do you care a lot about your reputation?”
Chu Nan’s body shook slightly as he stared at Princess Romanti and frowned slightly.
“What do you mean?”
“If you want to break off the engagement without hurting Viennelle, the key is…”
Chu Nan focused his attention on the voice that Princess Romanti accurately entered his ears and the expression on his face became more and more surprised.
In the end, his eyes were already wide open, and his expression became extremely shocked.
After Princess Romanti finished speaking, Chu Nan was silent for a long time before slowly saying with difficulty, “Are you… sure this is the only way?”
“Yes.” Princess Romanti nodded forcefully, “Apart from that, there’s no other way.”
“But if we do this, you should be the one affected the most…”
“I don’t care about this, or I hope to use this to send away those damned annoying fellows. Do you care?”
Chu Nan was immediately speechless.
He stared into Princess Romanti’s eyes and did not know how to answer for a moment.
Although the plan proposed by Princess Romanti might indeed perfectly resolve the problem that Chu Nan had been struggling with, in order not to hurt Princess Viennelle, he did not want to agree.
“Hey, stop being wishy-washy. I’ve always admired your neatness. Could it be that it’s more difficult for you to decide this than me?” Princess Romanti urged.
Chu Nan gently took a deep breath. After a long time, he made up his mind and slowly nodded.
“Alright, I promise you. However, before that, I’ll try my best to make more attempts. If possible, I still hope to resolve this matter perfectly without anyone being injured.”
“Don’t be naive. Do you think Uncle Lekas is that easy to deal with?” Princess Romanti patted Chu Nan’s shoulder, “Since you’ve already agreed, let’s decide happily. Of course, you have to settle this test first. If you can’t even deal with this test, we won’t even have a chance.”
“Don’t worry, I was the one who proposed this test. Do you think I can’t deal with it?” Chu Nan smiled and asked.
“Alright, I’ll see you after the test.”
Princess Romanti patted Chu Nan’s shoulder again and turned around to fly away.
Looking at her departing figure, Chu Nan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
The solution proposed by Princess Romanti was definitely not a good solution, but from the perspective of solving the problem, it was really the only solution that could be thought of at the moment.
“But does Romanti really not care?”
Chu Nan had a deep question in his mind, but he knew very well that it was impossible to answer this question. He thought for a moment and could only give up. He obediently sat down again and began to circulate his energy to adjust his breathing.
Today’s test was only temporarily over. The test waiting for him tomorrow would only be even more serious.
Just as Princess Romanti had said, if the test passed perfectly, they still had a chance. If not, there was really nothing they could do.
