A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 4] Chapter 110
[Vol. 4] Chapter 110: Too Insecure!
(?•?•?)
Oh wow!!!
Was the engagement between Amelia and Prince Carloy finally going to be annulled?
In Ifia’s mind, Prince Carloy was simply not worthy of Amelia, and it was fortunate that Amelia had no feelings for him. The engagement between them had been arranged between the Barlen family and the Rosward royal family.
It hadn’t been Amelia’s personal desire.
However, when it came to annulling the engagement, once Amelia proposed it, she would have to compensate the Rosward royal family… more specifically, compensate Prince Carloy.
It’s like compensation for lost youth.
(¬_¬”)
Therefore, when Amelia casually mentioned annulling the engagement while chatting with Ifia, Ifia thought they could wait a bit longer.
No one’s money comes from thin air.
With Prince Carloy eagerly jumping around, maybe it wouldn’t even be necessary for Amelia to propose it, there might be some commotion from his side to annul the engagement between them.
To be honest, Ifia didn’t understand Prince Carloy’s taste. No matter how you looked at it, Amelia was an exceptionally outstanding candidate for a fiancée!
Whether it was in terms of looks, physique, knowledge and abilities, or family background, she was clearly a ruler who stood head and shoulders above everyone else!
Even if she excelled in every aspect compared to Prince Carloy, but because of the ridiculous male ego that despised Amelia, Prince Carloy was truly too insecure!
But it was also a good thing that Prince Karloi didn’t have good taste, since he didn’t want Amelia.
So, Ifia supports Prince Carloy in breaking off the engagement and compensating Amelia!
As for whether Amelia Barlen will be ridiculed by others for being dumped by the prince? Nonexistent.
Amelia Barlen has long proven herself with her abilities. Especially now, as a candidate competing for the next throne, she places herself on an equal footing with Prince Carloy, leaving the nobles of Darwa City with nothing to gossip about.
After all, no matter how you look at it, Amelia Barlen has a greater chance of ascending to the throne than Prince Carloy.
“It’s probably because of the competition for the throne. The royal family knows very well that they can no longer form an alliance with the Barlen family. Therefore, when the King mentioned the engagement initially, it should be the royal family’s initiative to annul it,” Jessica said, her face excited as she mentioned the gossip in Darwa City.
However, mindful of the surroundings and afraid of being overheard by the servants of the Duke’s household, she spoke in a very low voice.
Seeing Jessica being so cautious, Ifia couldn’t help but chuckle.
Her friend was being too cautious.
Moreover, it’s good news… At this moment, Ifia couldn’t wait to drag Amelia out of the study and listen to this good news together!
“After the royal family took the initiative to annul the engagement, Duke Barlen agreed on the spot, and then both sides discussed the compensation matters. It’s said that Duke Barlen obtained quite a few good things from His Majesty the King!”
Now, the annulment of the engagement between the prince and the duke’s daughter has become the hottest gossip in Darwa City.
Compared to the accusations and humiliations other noble daughters faced when being dumped, people were more interested in discussing whether the royal family had admitted defeat, feeling that Prince Carloy was inferior to Amelia Barlen.
Otherwise, why rush to annul the engagement!
If Amelia Barlen succeeds in the election, the engagement between her and Prince Carloy will become intriguing… from being a queen consort to becoming Her Majesty the Queen, while Prince Carloy becomes just one of the consorts.
With the pride of the Rosward royal family, they would never allow their direct bloodline to fall to such a state.
So, even at a high cost, they must annul the engagement.
While everyone was discussing, the Rosward royal family remained silent, not conveying any information to the outside world, as if they had suddenly become quiet, yet also like the calm before the storm.
Even Jessica, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but be skeptical. “Although I believe Miss Barlen’s success in the competition is well-deserved, I’m afraid the Rosward royal family won’t easily admit defeat.”
After all, looking at the history of the Sith Empire, the Rosward royal family has always been in power.
If Amelia Barlen succeeds in the election, it would be like snatching food from a tiger’s mouth. They wouldn’t easily give up such a lucrative opportunity no matter how you look at it!
Thinking about the close relationship between Ifia and Miss Barlen, Jessica immediately nudged Ifia with her elbow and then raised her eyebrows with curiosity, asking, “Ifia, do you know any insider information? Come on, tell me, I’m very curious!”
Upon hearing Jessica’s question, Ifia rolled her eyes directly and then sarcastically retorted, “Didn’t your Austin tell you anything?”
What a joke. As the editor-in-chief of a newspaper, Ifia couldn’t believe Austin didn’t know.
Upon hearing the name Austin, Jessica immediately sighed and spoke with disdain, “That Austin girl is completely useless. She only mentioned that the Rosward royal family is currently searching for something, hoping to turn the tables with it.”
“……”
As Ifia listened, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t right.
Turning the tables… could it be referring to the magical plants in Camus!
Thinking back to Amelia mentioning yesterday that magical plants could potentially confuse one’s mind…
This was hilarious!
If the Rosward royal family was pinning their hopes on magical plants, they were definitely barking up the wrong tree!
Thinking about all this, Ifia knew but didn’t say anything. After all, it’s better not to spread information about magic if possible… in case Jessica gets curious and wants to try it, then it would be disastrous.
However, there are only so many magical plants, and as far as Ifia remembers, Jessica’s family didn’t successfully bid for any.
“Seriously, if you’re going to say something, just say it clearly. But Austin is being so secretive, it’s really frustrating. And she’s also teasing people, saying it’s something the royal family is searching for, and other families are looking for it too.”
Obviously, Jessica is very dissatisfied with Austin becoming so mysterious.
But from the intimate tone, Ifia raised an eyebrow.
She went on a trip, and she didn’t expect Jessica and Austin’s relationship to progress so quickly. Seeing the mixed expression of annoyance and a hint of joy on Jessica’s face, she knew they weren’t far from being together.
“Maybe it’s a special item that can’t be disclosed! If that’s the case, it’s already good enough for Austin to tell you these things.”
As someone in the know, Ifia was defending Austin, which was essentially defending herself.
After Ifia finished speaking, Lucy beside her couldn’t help but cover her mouth and smirk, her eyes full of mischief as she looked at Jessica, making Jessica’s cheeks turn red with guilt as she nervously shifted her gaze.
There’s definitely something going on!
Before Ifia could inquire further, Lucy voluntarily informed her, “Ifia, since you weren’t here, you wouldn’t know. Austin is making big moves to pursue Jessica. The whole Pulis Academy knows about it. She sends roses every day, it’s really…”
“Ahh, Lucy, stop it, it’s so embarrassing!”
Jessica halfway through raised her hand to cover Lucy’s mouth, violently stopping her. After Lucy surrendered with a muffled “mm,” Jessica reluctantly let go of her hand.
Then, looking at Ifia sitting quietly on the side watching the show, Jessica couldn’t help but glare at her, feeling annoyed. Unable to bear being the only one embarrassed and losing face, she decided to pull Ifia into the fray.
“Instead of talking about how boring Austin is, why don’t we talk about something else… like, Ifia, when are you going to confess to Miss Barlen?”
