66 The crown prince has selected his wife (1/2)

The candidates for the crown princess wife have battled in terms of cultivation and talent. Cheska remained seated and sipped her tea gracefully. She might as well take the opportunity to flaunt her elegant ball gown to increase their sales during the upcoming interscholastic competition.

As they were about to announce the selected young lady to become the crown princess, the crown prince whispered something to the eunuch. The eunuch passed the message to the emperor which made his majesty frown with disapproval. He looked at Cheska and the crown prince.

[What the heck is he looking at?] Cheska said to herself. The look on the emperor's face gave her an ominous feeling. [huh, try announcing my name and I will tell the world that I am cultivating my spirit. Let's see if you can force me to marry the prince.]

It had been quite a while when people started to judge her for being conceited, selfish, narrow minded, spoiled and so on. Just because she decided to hold on to her principle that she will not share her man with other woman people came around to put her down. Before meeting Henry and her friends, people avoided her. Even her own family was against her. But she persevered and gained her status in the family through her hard work.

[Not even the palace can make me submit!] Cheska strengthened her resolve.

Looking in front, she saw the third prince looking at her intensely. That man really looked like Hans (the man she loved back on earth).

”In conclusion to this days event we are pleased to announced that the crown prince has selected his wife!” The eunuch announced while reading a scroll.

”The young lady who was chosen will receive a letter on their household containing the marriage proposal and a dowry. As of the ladies who are present here today, you will all be gifted with a saint-tier artifact as a token of appreciation from the palace.”

Everyone present felt odd about what was happening. While the saint tier artifact is a valuable gift but they all wanted to know, who was selected.

”Shouldn't they be announcing the crown princess today?”

”Young lady? Shouldn't they be addressing the selected young mistress as the crown princess?”

Cheska immediately got up and bowed to the Royal family. After bidding goodbye, she was planning to visit her mother once more. Walking at the center, she enjoyed the attention of the people once more.

[not contented with the result of the selection huh? You can stay here for as long as you like. I'm out of here].

She did not say any word but her face showed it all. Her carefree attitude gave some girls some assurance while some felt defeated. She garnered both respect and loath from all around her.

Her lips curled into a smile thinking about her new-found nemesis. She wasn't labeled as domineering for nothing. If anyone tried to cross the line, she would make them pay a heavy price.

Outside a man wearing a golden crown in blue Furintian traditional clothes was waiting for her. It was none other than the third prince.

”Cheska… let's talk” The third prince said.

”Your highness, it is inappropriate for a young unmarried mistress like me to talk to an unmarried man.” She said in formal voice.

”Cheska, at least answer my requests for your hand in marriage. We have already written numerous marriage proposals to you….” The third prince did not want to emphasize that if he willed he could get an imperial decree to announce that she will be his concubine.
