Chapter 93: Chapter 93

“Regardless of whether you are the crown prince’s bride or not, you should not stand in the way of his governance. But you tried to take away his time by visiting the palace endlessly by using your status. That’s enough to disqualify you. Look at what you did on the first day of the banquet. Weren’t you put to shame in public while trying to covet what Lady Monique, our next empress, has?”

Princess Moira’s face turned red in embarrassment. Nevertheless, Lady Genoa continued, “Besides, even though Lady Monique had nothing to do with it, you insulted her. Even after you won an apology from her, you have been extremely rude. How dare you leave when she was apologizing? It was you who should have apologized to her for your rudeness. With all these disqualifying factors, are you still interested in being his bride?”

“What the heck?” Princess Moira raised her right hand high. I quickly intervened between the two and grabbed her hand when she was about to hit Lady Genoa. She was staring at me intensely in a fit of anger.

“Can’t you let it go?”

“… Well, this is too much. I can’t stand it anymore. Your behavior is more and more ridiculous! ”

I heard someone’s cold voice at that moment. The young man with blue hair appeared with an aide holding a bunch of papers behind him and stared at them coldly.

“Your Majesty!”

“I’m sorry. I should have anticipated this would happen to you. I think I was narrow-minded,” the crown prince said to me softly, walking among them as they made way for him.

He pulled Princess Moira’s aside politely and said, “Princess Moira?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t want a princess like you causing disturbances, so please go back to your kingdom!”

“Your Majesty!”

She shouted out as if she was frustrated, but he looked at her coldly and said, “I’ve been watching you since the first day you arrived here. So, don’t try to make poor excuses before me! Do you think Lady Monique, who is bound with the royal family, came here, wearing a tiara without any reason? This was given to her by the emperor even though she refused it strongly.”

“But Your Majesty…” Duke Jena tried to balk at him.

But the crown prince ignored him and said, “As most of you are here, I think I can tell you about my decision. I won’t choose any of the five princesses as my bride candidate.”

“Oh my god! How can you…”

“Your Majesty!”

“You can’t do this, crown Prince!” Duke Jena shouted, gnashing his teeth. Everyone paid attention to the duke because of his loud voice, but I couldn’t look at him. Not caring about them, he was looking at me intently. What the heck is he thinking? Why was he saying this kind of nonsense in the presence of all the princesses?

After looking at me mysteriously for a long time, he turned his head only when Duke Jenna called him for the third time.

“You cannot do this, Your Majesty. Didn’t you already decide to accept one as a bride? Why have you retracted your decision? ”

“How stupid you are! I don’t know how you can get by as a noble in this empire.”

He cut his words off and raised his right hand. His aide, standing behind him, brought a bunch of papers and stood next to him. He picked up the paper on the top, and he opened it wide.

With everybody holding their breath, he slowly opened his mouth amid their intense attention,

“Beary de Sapu, the eighth princess of the Sapu kingdom. She is 18. The king’s beloved royal princess but the biggest troublemaker. Since childhood, she was indulged in luxury and pleasure. The money she spent for a month is usually equivalent to one month’s budget of the kingdom. There is widespread public opinion that they should not tolerate her anymore even though the kingdom of Sapu boasts great wealth. After hearing the news that our empire’s crown prince was looking for his bride candidate, the cabinet council decided to send her to the empire unanimously.”

“… . ”

He threw the paper he was holding in front of Duke Jenna, who seemed to be speechless, and picked up the next document and said, “Naima de Sono, the third princess of the Sono Kingdom. She is seventeen. As a prominent beauty as a kid, she was favored by King Sono. Even though she just came of age, she officially dated as many as five guys secretly, but many more unofficially. Rumor has it that she is not interested in learning, compared to her beauty.
