"Why? The country now needs a wedding. With the new prince and the power of our family, they won’t dare act recklessly."
"I don’t want to consolidate royal power through a woman."
Connor’s tone was light, lacking the warmth from his initial eting with Kaylee.
He understood the oppression Harry Hunter had once endured; if even marriage couldn’t be autonomous, what was the point of being a prince?
"And besides, I don’t like you, Kaylee. I just consider you an ordinary friend."
"That’s okay, we can cultivate feelings after marriage just the sa."
Kaylee’s face turned sowhat pale. After hesitating for a mont, she asked, "You have soone you like, don’t you?"
"Yes."
"But she can’t help you, Connor. I’m the most suitable for you, and the King won’t allow you to marry a foreign woman."
Connor laughed lightly. That’s why he’s been working hard, learning all sorts of tedious knowledge, mastering how to restrain his emotions, and learning various sches and plots.
Once he becos the king, wouldn’t he be able to marry Natalie Niles?
Only he knows what kind of woman suits him, how could Kaylee understand?
She’s just a noble lady sheltered by her family, seeming innocent and kind on the surface, but actually uses manipulation on him.
Unfortunately, he’s been baptized by Natalie Niles’ various cunning tactics; ordinary ans are ineffective against him long ago.
However, Connor found it strange; why has Natalie Niles been so obedient lately, not seizing the opportunity to stir up trouble in the S Kingdom, simply staying quietly as his language teacher?
This truly doesn’t match her deeply manipulative and ruthless personality.
Connor shook his head. He’s always been unable to fathom Natalie Niles’ thoughts, so he stopped trying, focusing on improving his own capabilities.
Now he has so usable people in his hands, thanks in no small part to Harry Hunter, who pushed quite a few people his way, no longer the restrained figure he was upon arriving in the S Kingdom.
Next, he’s planning to gather more people, consolidate his position, and gain greater power.
His ascension as the next king is indisputable; anyone with a bit of sense won’t oppose him but should proactively submit to him.
Power is indeed a wonderful thing; even soone like him without ambition wants more once involved, not to ntion others.
Kaylee’s family is doing everything they can to have her marry here, not because of any laughable love or their self-proclaid patriotic feelings, but all for power! To gain greater benefits!
Today’s patrol around the city ended, and Connor returned to the palace.
He walked slowly on the clean and tidy central road.
The guards on both sides respectfully saluted, which he took for granted, stepping up the stairs, standing straight in the sunset, solemn, without looking aside.
He’s already accustod to and adapted to the life of a prince.
He naturally possesses strong adaptability; he was just too reluctant to part with everything in A City, where there’s Harry Hunter, the old man, his friends and brothers, and the woman he loves.
Once he decides to be a good prince, he can overco any difficulty, adapt to anything.
Isn’t here much better than the harsh environnt of his youth?
He once stood out among thousands of competitors, defeated countless rivals; here, he can do the sa!
Kaylee walked beside him, looking up at him with her eyes shining.
