Waking up as Cinderella's Stepsister - Chapter 6.2

Protect?

At the unexpected word, I raised my eyebrows and looked at him. He sighed softly at my eyes asking for an explanation, and he opened his mouth.

“Actually, the Prince and the royal family have a conflict over the marriage issue.”

“A conflict?”

When I asked again as if to check if I had heard something wrong, he looked at me and nodded his head.

I blinked in confusion and touched my forehead.

It was because I expected a happy ending such that they lived happily ever after, just like an ending of a fairy tale.

Even in this seemingly fantasy-like place, harsh and irrational reality exists.

The thought that there are walls of reality everywhere made me feel very bitter.

According to Drake, from generation to generation, the royal family had arranged marriages with princesses of neighboring countries for the sake of the national interest.

Everyone took it for granted that the Prince would do the same as well, but he suddenly decided to marry the lady of the count, whom no one had never heard of.

In other modern words, the heir of the No. 1 conglomerate in the business world was about to marry an unemployed woman who had nothing.

Perhaps it was only natural for the royal family to be turned upside down.

Fearing that the family would use their hands secretly, the prince invited my family to the royal family to draw the attention of many people. It was calculated that if there were many eyes to see us, there would be nothing more that the royal family could do.

But that was too naïve to stand up to absolute power. The royal family were people who would do everything to maintain and strengthen the royal power.

Since various interests were intertwined, not only the king, but also royal blood relatives had no choice but to move secretly.

Maybe he (the Prince) had caught some unusual energy and rushed us to escape.

‘The Royal Palace is a more dangerous place than I thought.’

“There is no need to apologize as this is a voluntary decision.”

“But you couldn’t have ignored the Prince’s orders.”

“The Prince had no orders. He just acquiesced.”

"What?"

Not knowing what he meant, I blinked with my eyes wide open.

“I am here, because of my own will.”

“What….”
