Chapter 175 - I Want You To Meet Someone

Somehow Fae didn't want to hope anymore. Hope would only lead to disappointment.

What if Princess Caroline's child was a girl? It's useless, wasn't it?

"Ren, I've decided to leave Almstad and take care of myself and the baby. Please stop stringing me along by giving me hope. It will only hurt me even more. We don't know if Caroline will give birth to a boy or a girl. Even if that happens ... you won't be able to step down with ease. That child would be too young to rule. They would ask you to wait for him to mature and be the prince regent..." Fae closed her eyes. She then lowered his head, not wanting to look at Ren again.

Initially, she wanted to talk about Ren and Amelia's betrothal rumor, but she didn't want Ren to think she was jealous and still wanted to come back to him.

"Give me some time, Fae ..." Ren said in a soft voice. He looked down and stared at Fae's stomach, which was still flat. His chest was filled with a strange feeling that he had never felt before. 

He didn't want them to be in this situation, but there was no crying over spilled milk. He also admitted that this all happened because of his fault, and he should not blame others for his actions.

The guests present watched Prince Renald dancing with the most beautiful girl in the room and, slowly, whispers could be heard among them. Many people were discussing how Prince Renald just danced with Lady Amelia, his rumored girlfriend, and was now dancing with another woman.

"Actually, the woman who is now dancing with him is far more beautiful than Lady Amelia. Look at her face ... oh, she's so beautiful. I think all the single men in this gala had been eyeing her. I can't blame the prince for wanting to dance with the most beautiful girl in the house."

"Prince Renald is just a normal man who couldn't help but be attracted to beautiful girls. Look at his face, he looks so enchanted."

"That's right. He didn't even look at Lady Amelia the way he is looking at this new lady..."

"Ah, I feel sorry for Lady Amelia. She must be very embarrassed now, especially because we all could see the difference in treatment between her and that new girl. Prince Renald's expression didn't seem annoyed when he is dancing with the girl in the blue dress. Did you see his face when he was dancing with Lady Amelia? He looked like he was doing a chore!"

"Who is she anyway? Do you know?"

People started asking questions about Fae and why she was invited to the royal gala.

"If I'm not mistaken, previously, she was dancing with the handsome man who was sitting at the RMI table."

"RMI? Ah .. they must be invited because of their contribution to Moravia. It's not surprising, because the company is very big."

Meanwhile, at RMI's own table, Anne repeatedly took photos of Fae dancing with Ren and her eyes looked baffled.

"Gosh .. this is great news. If someone from the office told us that one of our employees danced with the prince, surely no one would believe them. Now, they would definitely believe me, because I will show them these photos as evidence ..." she commented. When Sarah glared at her, Anna rolled her eyes too. "Why do you look at me like that? I'm just telling the truth."

Sarah didn't reply. She just stared at the center of the dance floor and pursed her lips.

Meanwhile, Mischa was walking back to their table, followed by a handsome man with black hair, wearing a dark blue tuxedo.

"I'd like to introduce you to someone," said Mischa, turning to London Schneider, who was walking gracefully beside him. Along the tables they passed, women all looked up and stared at the two with dumbfounded expressions.

These two men were indeed very charming. The female guests all felt happy that they came to this year's royal gala. Not only could they enjoy socializing with fellow Moravian upper-class people, aristocrats, officials, and the wealthies, but they also got to enjoy so many beautiful men to ogle.

Not to mention, this year, the committee managed to invite L to perform even though she only sang one or two songs because of her busy schedule.

What a memorable event!

"Do you have a new girlfriend that you wanted to show me?" asked London with a grin.

This had been the question Mischa had to endure for the past two years whenever they met at family events. When would he have a new girlfriend?

Since Lisa's death nearly 5.5 years ago, Mischa had never seriously dated any new woman. His family tried to encourage him to continue living after his mourning period had passed, but for years they did not see Mischa looking for a replacement for Lisa.

They just wanted to see him happy, just like Lauriel, Alaric, and Nicolae finally happy and found the love of their lives, or in Lauriel's case, a new love.

"You could say that," said Mischa with a smile. "We're living together now."

"Gosh ... you didn't! Is she the reason why you moved to this small country?" London asked eagerly.

He thought Mischa was just joking. However, the man's expression looked earnest.

So which one was it? 

Had Mischa really found a new woman?

If so, this was really good news!

Mischa decided not to tell London in detail that he asked Fae to stay with him as his assistant to take care of all his needs. When he saw the happy expression on London's face, he wanted to pull his leg.

"Everyone, this is London Schneider of the Schneider Group. Apparently, he has something to do in Moravia this week, and he decided to come to this royal gala too."

Simultaneously, the RMI directors and staff sitting at the table rose from their seats and greeted London. They already knew who London Schneider was. He was a very influential businessman, the leader of the Schneider Group Asia and Europe.

They never dreamed of meeting such an important person in their small country. Apart from being the leader of the Schneider Group, they also knew that London was the younger sibling of Aleksis Schneider, the wife of the RMI owner. So of course, the relationship between the two company groups was arguably quite close.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Schneider," Sam said respectfully.

"Nice to meet you too .." said London, waving his hand casually. He then turned to Mischa. "Which one is it that you wanted to introduce me?"

Mischa turned to their table and spread his gaze around and could not find Fae. He then asked Sarah.

"Where is Fae?"

"Fae is still on the dance floor. Earlier, after you left her, Prince Rhenald approached her and asked her to dance," Anne answered before Sarah could speak.

Mischa quickly turned to the center of the dance floor and saw Fae looking down with her hands resting on Ren's shoulders, her face looked pale. 

"Fae looks really unwell," muttered Mischa. He immediately walked to the center of the dance floor with quick steps, but before he could get to them, Ren had lifted Fae's body, as the girl suddenly fell and fainted.

The man swiftly carried Fae and walked quickly to the back of the hall. Before he left the door, he shouted to Amelia. "Get Doctor Lehmann!"

The story will have really BIG TURN OF EVENTS before finally, Vega reunited with her family, and we will also slowly know the reasons why Ren did what he did. And then you will be left with the choice to either keep hating him, or feel sorry for him.

Also... if you read "The Alchemists", please keep it in your library, because I plan to add side stories next month to the book so it can join the next Win-Win event.

I don't know why I am so unlucky with the book. From the first time it was published, it barely got any features from Webnovel. Normally, contracted books get at least several features, like flash banner, weekly feature, ongoing release, etc etc., so when readers open the app, they could see my book. Sadly, it almost never got features until the day it became completed.

With the Win-Win event, books that have many 'fans', seen from the number of Privilege buyers, will get features like banner, etc etc. So, I was thinking maybe I should revive the book one last time, at least only for the month of November, for the event.

I have no control over Webnovel's internal feature arrangements, but at least now I have control over the content and the privilege of my books, so I decided to join next month's Win-Win with "The Alchemists".

I really hope you will support me next month by purchasing privilege for "The Alchemists". It will be 1 coin for first-tier (2 advanced chapters), so it's really affordable, but it would mean the world to me.

What will the side stories be? Hahaha.. at the moment I'm thinking of having Aldebar and all his silly inventions for around 30-40 chapters. Or maybe Aldebar will fall in love? I still need to decide. Anyway... I'll keep you updated.

PS: This book, "The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress" will not be long. I think it will be 250-300 chapters like most of my other stories.

If you also read "Finding Stardust", I plan to end the book by early November. We only have around 30-40 chapters to go. I want to end if after Emma Stardust found what she was looking for, (the title is "Finding Stardust" anyway). I will probably continue her story after all the big events that followed her arrival in Akkadia in a new book (a sequel).

She would be navigating her life as a student in the academy to train her powers while being the secret queen. Her husband wants her to be the strongest mage she could be, so he supports her to study and he covers for her in the capital during state events.

There will be plenty of face slapping moments, plenty of dog food as well, a new conflict, rebellion, dark secrets that are being unveiled, etc etc. It will be exciting! I hope you will continue the journey with her in the next book.

Anyway.. I've talked too much.. hahahhaha. If you haven't read "Finding Stardust", go ahead, read it now.. It's heartwarming, full of intrigues, and you will love the strong and scheming female lead and all the handsome men around her.
