2: One Day, Itll Become a Trump Card

ByAntoinette VanessaSeptember 17, 2022

Im truly sorry, Daisy, but Lula is my true love. I cant marry anyone else but her.

After recovering bt the miraculous power of the saint, Lula, Freddie didnt waste any time to court her.

In less than a month, he had the king approve of the annulment our engagement, before getting engaged to Lula.

That day, I was summoned to the royal palace precisely to be notified of thatmoreover, by Prince Freddie himself.

Lord FreI mean, Your Highness. Ive heard about the annulment. I have no objections.

I didnt have any objections.

In the first place, it wasnt like I had any power to reject it.

Im sorry for being a little self-deprecating.

I see. Thank you.

As if he had been relieved of a great burden, Prince Freddie smiled.

What a cruel person.

The smile on Prince Freddies face marked the end of our engagement.

***

Lady Daisy.

Upon leaving Prince Freddies office, I wandered towards the exit of the royal palace, somewhat absent-minded.

In such a state, Prince Jake called out to me.

Your Highness Jake.

If you have time, would you like to have a stroll with me in the garden?

During the time I was still engaged with Prince Freddie, Prince Jake had become like a younger brother to me. Not only was he two years younger than me, he was also a cheerful person.

I nodded at his suggestion.

After all, I had to say my final goodbye.

Thus, Prince Jake escorted me to a special garden that was exclusive to the royal family. As that place was usually well secured and prohibited to others, his escorts didnt follow us. Instead, they merely watched us from a distance. I doubted that they could hear us.

It seems that my brother was blinded by the saints miracle and went mad.

Your Highness Jake, dont say something like that

In front of my father and mother, His and Her Majesty, he made a speech about true love with a straight face.

Thats

If the other party were merely a viscounts daughter, my parents wouldnt have allowed it. However, shes the saint.

Prince Jake seemed truly frustrated.

Surely, hes taking my feelings into consideration

In the end, both father and mother were left with no choice but to approve of their engagement.

I agree that it is the best decision for the sake of this kingdom.

The saint was an iconic figure.

For someone to awaken to the power of the saintno one could have predicted it.

We had to protect that irreplaceable existence, even at the expense of our kingdom.

Hence, to make her the fiance of the first prince was surely for the best.

I dont know about that. Just because shes the saint, it doesnt mean shes a suitable queen candidate. Truly, what a shame. I understand that miracles are a once in a lifetime experience, but for him to lose sight of whats important

When he turned towards me, Prince Jakes eyes were red, as if he were about to cry.

What are you going to do from now on, Daisy?

I, Im sure my father has some ideas

Even though I said that, my father was the one who told me to accept the annulment.

While this may sound cruel, if you dont do anything, youll be left with two options.

Two?

Either marry into a foreign country where my brothers influence cant reach, or become his concubine.

But surely, His Highness Freddie only has eyes for Lady Lula.

Somewhere within my heart, I was aware of that possibility. However, when I was confronted with the future of being a concubine, I was shaken. After all, I had been desperately trying to dismiss such a thought.

Knowing that Prince Freddie would devote himself to Lula, Id surely be a concubine in name only, left to perform official duties

For the time being, yes. But this kingdom cant run without you.

Youre exaggerating.

After all, even if Lady Lula is given an intensive education, she wont be able to handle the official duties of the queen.

Even if he has just dissolved his engagement with you, my brother has seen your value. Regardless of what you intend to do, hell surely aim to make you his concubine.

I couldnt even argue back.

Never once doubting his sense of what was just, Prince Freddie would go to great lengths to achieve what he thought was right.

I knew that part of him well because I had been supporting him from behind until now.

Your life belongs to you. However, if you wish to be his concubine and support him despite his betrayal, then thats fine, too.

Your Highness Jake

But if you wish to escape from him, then

Amidst the garden surrounded by greenery, Prince Jake quietly handed me something.

Surely, not even the escorts saw it.

***T/N: Lol the nerve yeah go run this kingdom in her stead so we can enjoy lovey dovey time 100% bye bich
