Chapter 159 – Prince Exclusive Pampered Wife

“Ex… fiancé?” Lin Xiao almost cried out.

He’s only heard of ex-husband, never ex-fiancé.

It turns out that a couple of years ago, Shen DaiYing was engaged to Charles, not Caesar. The two already knew each other well, but because of some unforeseen events, Charles was kicked aside by Shen DaiYing, so he could only be the “ex-fiancé.”

In terms of suitability, Charles was far more suited to be Shen DaiYing’s husband than Caesar, many in the Shen Dai household thought so as well.

Firstly, Charles was the crown prince, so he had a far higher status than Caesar, so Shen DaiYing would essentially become the queen if they married, this kind of status was something Caesar could never give. Secondly, although Charles looks like a cute boy, he was older than Shen DaiYing, was mature and steady, so he was a lot better than Caesar and more suited to be her husband.

They’ve even already decided on a date, but an unforeseen event happened.

For some reason, the empress of the Great Qin Empire didn’t approve of this marriage no matter what, negotiations lead to nowhere, so the two separated and their engagement became a joke.

“Huh… so she was that popular.” Rather than ridiculing that unfortunate ex-fiance, he wanted to ridicule the casual engagements.

Was his beloved a gift? Or a tool to curry favor with royalty?

Why was Shen DaiYing treated like an object, being kicked around, does she not have the freedom to choose for herself?

Was the purpose of Shen DaiYing’s existence to become the pampered wife of a prince?

Bullshit!

Although Lin Xiao was a good-for-nothing without any ambition, if he can’t even save the woman he loves out from a political marriage, then what kind of man is he?

If it was him, he would treasure her, how could he treat her like a bargaining chip at the negation table?

As if she noticed Lin Xiao’s fervent gaze, she glanced at Lin Xiao while dealing with Charles.

When their eyes met, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, giving him a gentle smile. It was like she was telling him to not worry about her and that she could deal with it herself, but she didn’t know how heartbreaking that smile looked to Lin Xiao.

“Princess, even if you hate me, you don’t have to go so far as to make that kind of expression, right? People will misunderstand and think that I was the one who dumped you.”

“Don’t say dump, it’s not appropriate…” Shen DaiYing awkwardly responded.

“Heh, you’re right, you never accepted me after all.”

“Sorry.” Shen DaiYing shook her head, not wanting to continue with this topic.

Lin Xiao was baffled while listening on the side.

What’s going on? Did this damn trap still have feelings for Shen DaiYing?

The good news was, even if he did, Shen DaiYing still kept her distance from him, it was probably due to her engagement with Caesar. Although she usually doesn’t put on any airs with Lin Xiao, to others, she still had to maintain her graceful form.

However, something didn’t look right when Lin Xiao looked at Shen DaiYing, other than rejection, there was a hint of guilt like she did something wrong to him…

He felt his head hurt.

The relationships between royalty was too much for a commoner like him to understand, he could only wait for an opportunity to ask Rosie.

Other than that, Lin Xiao got another piece of information.

It seems like Charles was preparing to represent Heino Academy, and was one of the four members. His strength was unknown, but judging by his skinny arms and legs, he probably couldn’t fight much.

“Princess, you…”

“Prince Charles!”

Charles still wanted to reminisce with Shen DaiYing, but a handsome young man wearing armor barged into the tent. Although he maintained a solemn appearance, his urgent pace betrayed his inner anxiety.

He ignored the surroundings, ran straight and kneeled down in front of Charles, “Prince, there’s guests!”

“Guests? … So quick. Devoru, are you sure it’s them?”

“Yes your majesty, other than the archbishop, there’s another guest.”

“Eh? There’s more?”

After a short exchange, Charles didn’t hesitate and immediately left with Jennifer.

After they left, it was just the Loran Academy people left staring at each other.

“What guest is it that the prince has to personally receive them?” Lin Xiao who didn’t understand anything was the first to ask.

This time, even the well-informed Rosie had no way of answering him.

Since Elena’s matters were taken care of, he had nothing else to do so he just followed them out.

He was still holding onto Elena’s hand, and the two silently followed after Charles, and in a bit they saw a fleet of strange carriages outside of the campsite.

There were two groups, one part that was carrying the goods turned towards another direction before the campsite, the remaining high-grade white carriages continued towards them.

The coachman saw that there were people welcoming them so he began to slow down and finally stopped.

Charles who was waiting at one side quickly lead his servants up to welcome them.

After the carriages stabilized, the middle-aged obese man that got off the last carriage was wearing a long white robe, and as he got off his large stomach shook.

The first one to get off the other carriage was a young girl wearing a maid outfit, she wasn’t rushed to get off and turned around and held her arm out.

Soon after, a slender white hand held on and a cute girl with closed eyes climbed out, along her maid’s arm and into her chest. The maid then held onto her and slowly carried her off the carriage.

“Whew… we’re finally here.”

The young girl had her eyes closed while stroking her long azure hair.
