Chapter 666 Can you repeat that again? (1)

But...the fourth prince just shook his head and said, "It's better if I don't. I think that you'll understand soon why you're here."

Both Angela and I deeply knitted our brows when we heard this.

No matter how we looked at it, it didn't seem like this would be a good thing for us.

It seemed very much like this was a trap.

I couldn't help looking at the fourth prince with a betrayed look as this thought passed through my mind.

He could see the look on my face, so he said, "What's wrong? It's not like anyone is going to die, right? This is supposed to be a happy occasion."

Both of us gave bitter laughs in response to this.

The fourth prince looked even more confused, but he didn't mind it as he reached out to the door in front of us. As he twisted the handle, he said, "Well, there's no turning back now. So let's just go in already."

Once again, Angela and I gave bitter laughs when we heard this.

It was true, there was no way that we would be able to leave now that we were here.

If we did try to leave and the king found out about this, he would surely punish us.

With how many people saw us as we entered the palace, it was impossible for us to hide the fact that we had come here today.

So there was only the path forward for us...

We followed the fourth prince through the door and into the room.

When we entered the room, we found that the king was waiting there on one of the sofas with a tea table in front of him. On that tea table was a fresh pot of tea and some desserts.

Seeing us come in, he waved his hand at us with a smile on his face and said, "Come, come, sit down. You came at just the right time, I just finished brewing the tea."

I couldn't help being a bit taken aback when I saw him acting like this.

After all, the only times that I had seen the king was in the courtroom where he had the full prestige of a king behind him.

Now...he just seemed like a normal middle aged man.

No, it was impossible for someone of his status to be just a normal middle aged man.

I could still see the royalness coming naturally from him, but he did seem much more relaxed compared to before.

The fourth prince didn't hesitate as he walked over, but the king just pointed at the chair on the side before he could sit down on the sofa.

The fourth prince looked at the king with a bitter smile on his face, but the king didn't care as he pointed at the chair again.

So in the end, the fourth prince had no choice but to sit down in the chair on the side.

He didn't even reach for the tea since he saw that there were only three cups in the first place. It didn't seem like there was a place set for him since there wasn't even a cup for him here.

Once the fourth prince sat down, the king turned back to me and Angela and waved his hand at us as he said, "Come, come, sit down already." After waving his hand, he gestured to the couch that was in front of him on the opposite side of the table.

I looked at Angela and she looked at me, but neither of us had an idea of what was going on.

But the king had already called us over, so we had no choice but to sit down.

After sitting down, neither of us did anything as we looked at the king. It was as if we were waiting to see just what he was planning to do.

When he saw us staring at him like this, the king said with a smile, "I would offer you some tea and cakes, but it doesn't seem like you're interested. So instead, let's talk about why I've called you here."

Both of us were surprised that he would be so direct with this, but we didn't let our guards down as we waited to see what he had to say.

The king just took a sip of his tea before calmly saying, "Well, as you may have already guessed, I've called you here to discuss the terms of your engagement."

Angela suddenly stood up and said, "I won't let you break this engagement. You already agreed to it, so I won't back down even if you strip me of my title as a princess and exile me from the royal family."

I looked at Angela with a surprised look since I never thought she would be so passionate about this.

But I was even more surprised to find that it wasn't just me who was surprised.

It was also the fourth prince and the king who were looking at Angela with surprised looks.

It was as if they had never expected her to suddenly speak up like this.

After a long silence, the king asked, "Who said anything about breaking the engagement?"

This time, it was Angela's turn to be surprised as she looked at the king with a surprised look along with me. Both of us tried to figure out what the king meant by this, but we just couldn't figure it out.

The king saw these looks and shook his head with a faint smile before saying, "I never called you here to break the engagement, I called you here to discuss how to proceed with it."
