At that moment, Prince William was in high spirits and had a valiant demeanor. Where had his former shabbiness and incompetence gone?Respected and admired by all, he was extremely domineering. Zayn and Alice were the only people who saw how wretched he was on that day. These people had never seen him like that, so they had no idea what a coward he was. They assumed that he was the honorable prince they thought of him as. Zayn smiled nonchalantly upon seeing Prince William, but he did not expose him. A man like Prince William was just a weakling to Zayn and unworthy of his time.He felt rather sorry for Alice because she had to marry a man like that. Zayn did not have feelings for her, but he knew Prince William did not deserve her.Of course, that was Alice’s business. As an outsider, she did not have the right to meddle in her affairs. He stood at a corner and sipped his drink quietly as he waited for the Queen’s arrival. He could faintly sense the Queen’s presence and c
His eyes were ablaze as he stared intensely at Alice. His desire to possess her had reached its peak at that moment. Alice soon noticed his eyes upon her, and it made her furrow brows ever so slightly at once. There was a tinge of disgust and sorrow in her eyes. She was about to marry this man and alter the course of the rest of her life. She sighed.Despite her unwillingness, she had no choice but to accept her destiny!Her kind could not help but wonder how things could have been different if Zayn had been there.She yearned for Larson to take her to the edge of the world and elope. She would not care even if she had to spend the rest of her life in poverty. She knew that it was only an extravagant hope. As a Rheasian, Zayn obviously did not have a high enough status to marry her,No one in the world would offend the entire royal family, along with the rest of Yingland, for her. She heaved a sigh once again. Just as she fell into despair, her eyes lit up all of a su
Prince William had a brilliant smile on his face as he walked toward Alice in long strides. Several members of the royal family followed behind him. A look of sorrow flashed past Alice’s eyes after catching sight of Prince William. However, she could only hide her emotions for the sake of them all. She abided by her father’s instructions and beamed brightly. From where he stood, Zayn could see the change in Alice’s expression. He shook his head and felt pity for her.Prince William soo. made his way to her and greeted Horton like a gentleman. He then cracked a smile that he thought to be most handsome and proud as he took Alice’s head. “Hello, my most beautiful Alice. From now on, you will be the most honored princess in my heart.”The crowd applauded and cheered for Prince William upon hearing his honeyed words. The women at the scene were extremely envious and jealous. They badly wished that they could be Alice so they could marry Prince William. As for the men, they envi
After all, it was a thrilling experience to encounter assassins. Alice was stunned ever so slightly as well. There was a look of recollection on her face. Had it not been for Zayn that day, they would have been captured by the assassins and had a tragic end. There was a look of lingering fear on Prince William’s face, but it vanished as soon as it appeared. He regained his proud, confident expression and said in a charismatic manner, “It was just an accident…”Next, he began to narrate the incident on that day in detail. However, the version that he told was the complete opposite of the truth!He portrayed himself as an extremely courageous, heroic savior who abhorred evildoers and had incredible abilities. On the other hand, Zayn was described as a cowardly, unambitious man. Had it not been for his efforts at the time, Zayn would have died. “Whoa! You live up to your reputation as a prince, Your Highness. You’re courageous and heroic beyond comparison. You’re a role model
Everywhere around her quieted down instantly as soon as she said that. Everyone widened their eyes in surprise and looked at Alice in astoundment. What the heck was going on?The coward was actually Prince William?Could they have misheard it?In the corner, Zayn heaved a sigh to himself after witnessing the scene. He thought Alice was being quite stubborn. Still, he felt rather touched. Alice was different from other opportunistic women. She was of rather good moral character, but her act of telling the truth would put him at risk.The scene was quiet for two seconds. Prince William’s expression was extremely unpleasant and he glared at Alice with a deathly stare!Yes, Prince William was bragging by degrading Zayn ferociously to boost his reputation, yet Alice’s claim was undoubtedly a slap in his face!The most crucial part was that Alice was his fiancee. How was he going to recover from such mortification?He clenched his fist tightly and felt anger flooding his entire bo
The cowardly prince had the audacity to hit a woman. The man was a scoundrel without morals!Prince William was mad that not only had the b*tch Alice not defended his honor, she took the lead to defame him!He was the honorable prince while the Rheasian was just a lowly brute. Could the Rheasian’s reputation be comparable to his?The fact that she would do such a thing to him in front of so many people made him loathe her to his bones.Alice covered her face as tears welled up in her eyes. She was in so much pain after being slapped by Prince William, her eyes widened in surprise. It was apparent that she had never expected the prince would be so cruel that he would hit her in front of the crowd. How much would he torment her when she was actually married to him?“How dare you hit me, Prince William?” Alice was incredulous. Over at the side, the members of the Alexanders frowned and stared at Prince William in displeasure. They found that he had gone too far by hitting Alice and
It was coincidentally at this time when a giggle was heard coming from the crowd. It came from a noblewoman. After that, the rest of the crowd could not help themselves and began to cover their mouths as they sniggered. In truth, they were wise enough to tell that Alice was not lying in an instant. Combined with Prince William’s reputation in his social circle, if the assassins’ ambush incident was genuine, it was apparent that Alice was telling the truth. If Prince William was so petrified that he wet himself, it was truly disgraceful! He was the prince of Yingland!Prince William’s impression in the hearts of the people would be ruined if they were to learn about the incident. In that case, how could he lead them in the future?Apart from these distinguished guests, even the ministers serving the royal family began to laugh in spite of themselves. Prince William’s expression was extremely unpleasant after witnessing the situation. He clenched his teeth in rage and was neari
Alice knew what he was intending, so she was even more infuriated. She clenched her teeth tightly and felt turmoil in her heart. In the end, she chose to act according to her conscience instead of yielding. She took a deep breath and said aloud, “I refuse to apologize because I didn’t say anything wrong! You should be the one apologizing!”“That’s disrespectful!”Meanwhile, Prince William was thoroughly enraged. He dispatched the order to capture Alice right away. The elite royal guards began to detain Alice in a rather roughly manner. A look of sorrow flashed past Alice’s face as she was confronted by the situation. Still, she appeared to be relieved to have done the right thing. She did not let Zayn down and defended his reputation. She would not mind even if the price of her action was imprisonment. Meanwhile, a casual voice came from a corner of the crowd. “If you have the courage to touch even a strand of Alice’s hair, I don’t mind punishing you in a way that you’ll re
