Capítulo 942: Chapter 848: You Can’t Do That!
“Please have so tea.”
Inside the Princess’ bedroom, Luoqi was holding a cup of steaming hot tea with both hands, her posture proper and attitude modest, just like a diligent maid serving her master.
“Mm.”
Shane sat in the seat where Luoqi usually sat, with his legs crossed like a boss, reaching out to take the tea Luoqi offered, and sipped it slightly.
“A bit bitter.”
Shane comnted lightly.
“I’ll add so sugar for you.”
Luoqi imdiately added sugar to the tea.
“Is there only tea?”
Shane continued speaking nonchalantly.
“There are snacks here too.”
Luoqi quickly ran to the tea room to fetch so snacks for Shane.
“I prefer to eat things like cookies, rather than sweet pastries.”
Shane casually expressed his preferences.
“Right away!”
Luoqi promptly ran off.
Just like that, the Hero righteously enjoyed the extrely considerate service, the Princess attending to him diligently.
The scene was definitely the dream of all n.
The Kingdom Treasure, the most beautiful woman of the Human Race, was diligently serving a man like this, almost beyond anyone’s wildest dreams.
Yet Shane actually achieved it, even dragged here desperately by her, and served by her equally desperately.
Shane glanced at his obedient fiancée standing by, smiling faintly.
“What? Not playing the disappearing act anymore?”
Shane pointedly asked.
“No.”
Luoqi answered very straightforwardly, admitting she was responsible for the earlier antics.
She didn’t even dare to argue.
Because she knew, Shane could definitely see through it.
Thus, faced with the choice between severe punishnt and leniency through confession, the Slacking Princess chose the latter sincerely.
“Then let’s talk it out.” Shane reached out, pinched Luoqi’s flawless face, and coldly smiled, “Tell , why the disappearing act?”
“Ugh…” Luoqi whimpered softly, but dared not resist, only whimpering, “Wasn’t it because you were so captivated by that Enchanting Demon, I wanted to teach you a lesson.”
“? By Chafne?” Shane raised an eyebrow, directly saying, “Which eye of yours saw captivated by her?”
“That day.” Luoqi still felt very aggrieved, “The day she ca to the Royal Capital, didn’t you take her away directly, leaving alone there?”
Was I really captivated?
No, I was afraid you’d be captivated by her, so I quickly took her away!
Shane hadn’t had the chance to voice his rebuttal when Luoqi spoke again, feeling quite aggrieved.
“And you took her ho, it’s one thing, but you also helped her fight. That Enchanting Demon even made statents showing she cares for you in front of so many people and acted intimately, almost stuck to you.”
That’s sothing that woman did, what’s it got to do with ?
Shane wanted to say this but knew it couldn’t serve as an explanation.
Can a woman not be jealous if another woman hugs her husband, despite his unwillingness?
The hugging fact still exists, right?
So…
“You were jealous of Chafne, and that’s why the disappearing act?”
Shane pointed out the key reason.
“Yes.”
Luoqi nodded heavily.
Shane stared intently at the Princess, keeping her in suspense, then asked.
“What’s the truth?”
Shane looked as if he had seen through Luoqi’s inner thoughts.
“This… this is my…”
The word “truth” hadn’t co out when Luoqi saw Shane take out a parchnt and place it on the table.
Instantly, Luoqi surrendered.
“…This is indeed my truth, but besides being jealous, I also wanted to take this opportunity to knock so sense into you, letting you know I have a temper, not to attract more won later.”
Luoqi revealed her most genuine thoughts.
“Anything else?”
Shane calmly continued his interrogation.
“…I wanted to make you feel guilty, make you regret, and take control, so you wouldn’t manipulate anymore.”
Luoqi lowered her head.
“Anything else?”
Shane stared intently at Luoqi.
“Also…” Luoqi’s voice sounded like she was about to cry, softly, “to see if I can squeeze out the Dragon Demon and beco the Main Palace.”
Shane’s mouth twitched.
He knew this woman wouldn’t just simply be jealous.
Being a mber of the Royal Family, not too resistant to polygamy, even jealousy wouldn’t lead to the disappearing act, activating Authority, losing control of her Power, maybe just taking the chance to complain and state her demands, to let him treat her well.
But this Slacking Princess, as usual, was lofty and went on to do all that.
It’s safe to say, all this was within Shane’s expectations, not beyond his predictions.
“Seems like this annulnt agreent I made wasn’t unwarranted.”
Shane picked up the agreent on the table and said this lightly.
“I think we need to talk!”
Looking at Shane, who was preparing to finalize the agreent, Luoqi hurriedly made this request.
“Alright.” Shane didn’t oppose, instead he surprisingly responded cheerfully, “How do you want to talk?”
Upon hearing this, Luoqi desperately began to rack her brain.
How should she talk?
Admit her mistake?
But if an apology was useful, this brute wouldn’t use such a serious matter as a cancellation of engagent to force her out.
Then should she kneel?
No, that’s not right either. After all, kneeling for her husband is not a loss, and it’s not like she hasn’t kneeled before, even to the point where her knees turned red. But if she could, Luoqi still wanted to struggle a bit, to regain so of her dignity.
In the end, Luoqi felt she should talk so sense into him.
“I think you shouldn’t be so impulsive, think it through carefully, this isn’t a matter that can be decided lightly, right?”
Luoqi appealed to emotion and reason.
Her underlying aning was simple, implying that their engagent was no longer just about themselves, but involved many factors.
Like the kingdom’s wishes.
Like the people’s reactions.
Like the world’s situation.
And the complex relationships in the background, etc.
It is certain that if the engagent really breaks off, it would be an explosion of the century, sufficient to cause an uprising throughout the country and even the entire Human Realm.
Even if Anxi had signed the agreent as the King, without a proper reason, the agreent is rely a piece of paper.
This is not like a celebrity in a previous life, casually pulling excuses like “not suitable”, “no love left”, “being together is tiring”, “eting less and parting more”.
Personal feelings are utterly worthless in the face of national interests. It’s never heard of any political marriage considering whether it’s suitable or whether one likes it.
Of course, Shane and Luoqi are not in a political marriage, but the issues involving their identities and statuses also cannot be encapsulated rely by state interests.
Given this, the marriage, even if neither of them is willing, has reached a point where it cannot be dissolved.
If it really cos to that, Anxi can say he was out of his mind, made an inappropriate decision, and use abdication as a punishnt for himself, rendering the agreent which bears his signature invalid.
Anyway, Anxi is planning to abdicate, so this is utterly harmless.
This is the reason why Luoqi was anxious, but not completely without a way out.
Because she knows Shane must have considered these factors before daring to make such a seemingly serious, but actually useless move.
Unfortunately, Luoqi was wrong.
“Indeed, with just one agreent, the marriage isn’t sothing that can be called off easily,” Shane slowly said, “But I can give it to Ai Yi.”
“Give it to the Dragon Demon?” Luoqi was slightly taken aback.
“Do you think, as my fiancée, if she got this kind of agreent, wouldn’t she be very happy?” Shane showed a aningful smile, “Then she could use it as an excuse, making you not only unable to be the Main Palace, but only a small concubine serving under her, right?”
“What…!?” Luoqi was thunderstruck, and she froze altogether.
After coming to her senses, Luoqi cried as she clung to Shane’s clothes, saying loudly, “You can’t do that!”
It’s obvious I ca first, whether it’s getting engaged or having everything settled, it was who ca first. But in the end, not only can’t I beco the Main Palace, I can only beco a concubine serving soone else?
This is simply unreasonable!
She’s a princess for heaven’s sake!
The Kingdom Treasure!
The most beautiful woman among the Human Race! The Divine Race’s favorite!
To be a concubine for soone?
How am I supposed to slack off then!
And with Ai Yi’s capability, it’s not impossible for her to achieve all this.
As long as she has the agreent in hand, no matter how complex the dynamics are, being one of the pinnacle demons, the Dragon Demon can make use of it.
With leverage, even if the marriage can’t be canceled, suppressing Luoqi’s status a bit is still achievable.
This was Shane’s purpose.
He didn’t really want to cancel the engagent.
No matter what, it’s still his main wife. Even if she’s gotten a bit carried away, it wouldn’t go so far as canceling the marriage.
But disciplining her is feasible.
Therefore…
“I can’t do this, so what should you do?”
Shane looked at Luoqi pointedly.
“I… I will never pull a disappearing act again…!”
Luoqi desperately promised.
“And what else?”
Shane wore an old, wise deanor.
“I also won’t use authority to fra you again!”
Luoqi continued to promise.
“And after that?”
Shane looked at Luoqi with that aningful gaze again.
Upon seeing this, Luoqi seed to realize sothing, feeling aggrieved and small, she weakly and helplessly spoke in a low voice.
“…Regarding the positions and requests you ntioned last ti, I think I’m okay with them.”
Upon hearing this, Shane finally handed the cancellation agreent to Luoqi with satisfaction.
“That’s better.”
Shane grinningly claid victory in this skirmish.
Leaving Luoqi there in tears.
Today’s outco, Shane achieved a complete victory.
Luosilusti Mitera, suffered a crushing defeat.
