216 Ch. 216 'Arranged Marriage'

Xiao Yue decided to forget about the dream she was trying to remember and return to her real life.

Xiao Yue talked with her mother with a happy heart, listened to her father's adventures in exploring another country, and occasionally bickered with her annoying brother.

"Yang'er, how long do you plan to be single. It's time for you to settle down."

Their father's words took the king by surprise, while Xiao Yue chuckled with amusement at the uncomfortable expression on her brother's face.

"After my baby sister finds the right person, then I will choose a partner and settle down."

Xiao Yue choked on her drink while listening to her brother's answer.

Aren't they talking about the king's settling down? Why did her brother talking about her partner?

For goodness sake, she was only seventeen!!

"What does that have to do with me? I'm still seventeen years old!" Xiao Yue protested because she thought she was too young to marry.

"Precisely," exclaimed Xiao Yang making the young princess look at her brother with a suspicious gaze.

"Brother, could it be that you are using me to buy time so that our father wouldn't force you to get married?"

The King of Nishian grinned from ear to ear heard his sister's exact guess.

The truth is, Xiao Yang simply doesn't want to get married because he hasn't met the right girl. But he has an excellent candidate to be his brother-in-law.

This young man had met Xiao Yue at the festival, and he was interested in getting closer to the princess. Hence, he talked about it to the king and asked him if he could meet the princess. And also, if their chemistry were good, he would like to ask her hand in marriage.

Therefore, Xiao Yang discussed it with his family and told his beloved sister about the young man.

Xiao Yue's mouth was wide-opened when she heard her brother's explanation. She did not expect that someone unfamiliar would move so quickly to ask her in marriage through her brother.

"Well, you can meet up first. If you don't like him, I won't force you." came the conclusion from her dear brother.

"But I'm still seventeen. I don't want to get involved in an arranged marriage."

"What's wrong with the arranged marriage? I heard the young man is the crown prince of the floating island kingdom. Isn't that right, Yang'er?" came the inquire from the former king.

"Yes, he is. Yue'er will be his queen if they're married."

"But I'm SEVENTEEN!!" Xiao Yue protested and emphasized her words when she spoke about her age.

"There'snothing wrong with getting married at a young age, Yue'er. I married your father when I was eighteen. After all, there's nothing wrong with meeting him first, right?"

Xiao Yue glanced at her father using her puppy eyes, her deadly weapon to get what she wanted.

But the king deliberately looked at everything but her!

The king knew he would immediately melt and submit as soon as he looked at his daughter's puppy eyes. His heart was too weak to make his beloved daughter angry with him, so he wouldn't risk and chose to stare at anything but his beloved daughter.

Realizing that her puppy eyes technique was not working, the princess sighed in resignation and raised the white flag.

If she were a child, she would throw a tantrum and justify any means to make her father and brother grant her wishes.

But now she was no longer a child, and she was a princess that everyone looked up to.

Xiao Yue didn't want to be someone who carelessly caused trouble for just a trivial reason.

As her mother said, she only needed to meet the young man and didn't have to agree to this arranged marriage.

After all, the person who will be introduced to her was Xiao Yang's best friend. Xiao Yue knew how much Xiao Yang loved her even though her nosy brother was always frustrating her.

If Xiao Yang looked up at his friend, it meant that this man had recognition from her brother.

"Alright. I will meet him. " came the answer from Xiao Yue's lips.

"Really?"

Xiao Yue pursed her lips even more at her brother, who sounded very eager. Wasn't her brother's reaction too much?

Why does it feel like her brother is the one who going to do this arranged marriage instead of her?

Xiao Yue shook her head in resignation, but she was secretly looking forward to meeting her future husband-to-be.

What kind of a person who had her brother's admiration to the point willing to let her go to this man? She was excited to know.

The next morning, Xiao Yue wore a light blue dress with long sleeves decorated with pretty laces. There were accessories with floral motifs on the waist, forming a floral belt.

Her hair was styled in such a beautiful way, thanks to the maid's help in charge.

Xiao Yue also let her personal maid put on makeup according to her taste.

After being in the dressing room for nearly two hours, Xiao Yue was ready with the best appearance in her entire life.

As she descended the stairs leading to the main hall where her beloved family members were waiting for her, Xiao Yue looked like an angel descending from heaven.

Her long light blue dress was fluttering as if a gentle breeze was waving at her.

Everyone who was there felt fascinated as if they saw something otherworldly creature coming to visit them.

Suddenly, Xiao Yang felt unwilling to let his baby sister leave this palace. His sister-complex was a hard one to the point he would never let his sister go to another man's embrace.

Therefore, everyone was proud of him as this was the first time Xiao Yang was willing to let his sister go on a blind date.

"Yue'er, I've changed my mind. We better cancel this arranged marriage."

What!?

"Big brother, you're unreasonable. I've been patient for two hours to beautify myself, but you just canceled it like that? Now I want to go out to meet my future husband."

"Fu... Future what? Future husband? You said you don't want to get married?"

For some unknown reason, Xiao Yang was strongly opposed to letting his younger brother go. On the other hand, Xiao Yue insisted on going and meeting her future husband.

Here they go again. The brother-sister sibling was bickering as usual, and no one wanted to yield.

Not long after, a soldier announced that the royal carriage was ready for Xiao Yue.

In the end, it was Xiao Yue who won and went to meet the young man who had love-interest in her.

"Yue'er, don't be afraid to tell me if he molested you."

One of Xiao Yue's eyebrows raised at this. "Isn't he, your friend? Yesterday you bragged about him as if he was your beloved sibling and not me."

"I told you I'd changed my mind. All men are wolves in fleece. You can't trust man easily."

Xiao Yue rolled her eyes lazily, then walked away without paying attention to her brother's next words.

Really, today her brother was so unreasonable and very annoying.
