Chapter 279: Banquet Part one (2/2)
The Third Prince, Will, was carrying a red wine glass and chatting with his friends. After hearing the crowd exclaiming at something, he looked towards the entrance and saw Lin Chuxue walking in with her parents. Instantly, she became the focus of everyone inside the palace.
Will’s eyes were basically glowing, and he became more and more determined to get Lin Chuxue.
“Looks like you have quite a lot of competition.” His friend said, “Tsk tsk, Will, if it weren’t us not being lucky enough to have a good background, who wouldn’t want to have this kind of treasure?”
His other friend sneered, “Even for Will, there is still a lot of competition. Those young rich heirs’ family assets are probably in the tens of billions of pounds, and god knows what kind of means they will use to get her.”
Will sneered. “If I can be the crown prince, would those people still dare to compete with me?”
The crown prince would be the successor of the King for this country.
When the actual crown prince saw Lin Chuxue walking in, his eyes also flashed with a hint a greed, but he sighed, “Such a pity, I wasn’t born at the right time.”
He was indeed a lot older than the Third Prince, almost reaching 40 this year, so it would obviously be a bit inappropriate for them to be together.
Beside him, a good friend of his laughed and said, “Don’t let your wife hear this, or she’s probably going to start a big fight with you. But this Nicole is indeed a beauty of the century, and it’s no wonder that so many heirs of the largest companies in the country want to marry her. Well, you still have your chance. Once you become the King, you can still have her.”
The crown prince mocked himself and sneered, “It would be too late. This royal family, if the older generation doesn’t pass, the younger generation won’t be able to take over the throne. It’s not like you don’t know that. Look at that Will, even though he doesn’t really have power, he has freedom, and as brothers, we have to clean up his mess. We take the Royal Family’s reputation very seriously, so we definitely won’t let any scandals leak that would damage our reputation. As for power, it’s just a joke. If that old thing lives to 80 years old, I would be f-cking 50 by then. And by then, Nicole would most likely be married and even have kids, and I also wouldn’t be able to divorce the one at home because it’s forbidden! Speaking of being the crown prince, Will’s life is actually a lot better. If I can trade places with Will right now, I would not hesitate.”
