[Volume 4]: Chapter 110 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

(ow@) Oh my! Is the engagement between Princess Amelia and Prince Carloy going to be broken off at last? In Ifia's heart, Prince Carloy is not worthy of Amelia, and fortunately, Amelia has no feelings for him. Their engagement was arranged between the Barren family and the Roseld royal family. It wasn't Amelia's personal wish. However, to dissolve this engagement, once Amelia proposed it herself, it would incur compensation to the Roseld royal family - specifically, compensation to Prince Carloy. It's something akin to damages for the loss of youth. Therefore, when Amelia mentioned dissolving the engagement during her chat with Ifia, Ifia thought it might be better to wait a little longer. No one's money comes from thin air. Judging from Prince Carloy's various antics, perhaps if Amelia doesn't take the initiative, there will be some movement on his end to dissolve the engagement between them. To be honest, Ifia can't understand Prince Carloy's taste. No matter how you look at it, Amelia is an excellent candidate as a fiancée! In terms of looks, figure, knowledge, and abilities, as well as family background, she is a superior candidate among everyone, let alone Prince Carloy! It's really his ridiculous male pride that makes him disdain Amelia. Prince Carloy is quite self-deprecating! However, it's good that Prince Carloy has poor taste in admiring Amelia and, therefore, Ifia supports him in breaking off the engagement and compensating Amelia! As for whether the Barren family will be laughed at when Princess Amelia is rejected by the prince? That's out of the question. Amelia had already proven herself with her capabilities, particularly now as a candidate for the next ruler. She places herself on an equal footing with Prince Carloy, making the nobles of the city of Dalva hesitant to criticize her. After all, no matter how you look at it, Amelia's chances of ascending to the throne are greater than Prince Carloy's. "Perhaps due to the competition for the throne, the royal family knows they cannot form an alliance with the Barren family anymore. So, it was his majesty the king who mentioned the matter of dissolving the engagement, and it should be the royal family who takes the initiative to cancel it." Jessica mentioned the city of Dalva's gossip with excitement written all over her face, being very cautious not to be overheard by the servants of the Duke's estate. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to be reported! Seeing Jessica being so cautious, Ifia couldn't help but chuckle. Her friend was overly cautious. Just say it; Amelia wouldn't be so petty! Besides, it's good news. Ifia couldn't wait to drag Amelia out of the study to listen to this great news together. "After the royal family took the initiative to cancel the engagement, the Duke of Barren readily agreed, and then they negotiated the compensation. It's said that the Duke of Barren gained quite a lot from his majesty the king!" Now, the matter of the prince and the Duke's daughter breaking off their engagement has become the hottest gossip in the city of Dalva. Compared to the criticism and humiliation faced by other noble daughters who were rejected, people were more concerned about whether the royal family had already conceded, thinking Prince Carloy was not as good as Amelia. Otherwise, why the rush to break it off! If Princess Amelia succeeds in the competition, then the engagement between her and Prince Carloy will become intriguing. From the status of Queen to that of the Queen mother, and Prince Carloy would then become one of her consorts. With the pride of the Roseld royal family, they would never allow their direct bloodline to come to this. So, even at the cost of everything, they had to end the engagement. While people discussed, the Roseld royal family remained silent, not conveying any information to the outside world. It was as if they had suddenly become quiet or as if it was the calm before the storm. Even Jessica doubted: "Although I feel it's only natural for Miss Barren to succeed in the competition, the Roseld royal family probably won't give up easily. After all, in the history of the Sis Empire, the Roseld royal family has always been re-elected. If Princess Amelia succeeds, it would be like snatching a meal from a tiger's jaws; they wouldn't easily let go of the fat meat! Thinking about Ifia's close relationship with Miss Barren, Jessica immediately nudged Ifia with her elbow and then, winking, asked, "Ifia, do you know any inside information? Come on, spill the beans; I'm really curious!" Hearing Jessica's question, Ifia rolled her eyes directly. How could Austin not have told her as the chief editor of the newspaper! Upon hearing the name "Austin," Jessica immediately turned disdainful, "That girl Austin is totally useless. She only mentioned that the Roseld royal family has been looking for something lately and wants to turn things around." Ifia felt that something wasn't right as she listened. Turn things around... could it be referring to the magic plants in Kames! > (J> Thinking back to Amelia mentioning yesterday that magic plants could possibly confuse people. It's ridiculous! If the Roseld royal family placed their hopes on magic plants, they were completely barking up the wrong tree! With these thoughts in mind, Ifia knew but did not say it. After all, it's better not to spread information about magic plants. What if Jessica became curious and wanted to try it? That would be terrible. However, with only so many magic plants, there had been no record in Ifia's memory of Jessica's family successfully bidding. "Gee, if you have something to say, just say it clearly. But Austin is all secretive, so annoying! And she's dragging the matter, saying it's something the royal family seeks, and the others are also searching for it." Clearly, Jessica was very dissatisfied with Austin's enigmatic behavior. From the familiar tone, Ifia raised an eyebrow. She had gone on a trip, and she hadn’t expected how quickly Jessica and Austin's relationship had progressed. Looking at the annoyed yet somewhat delighted expression on Jessica's face, she knew they were getting close. "Perhaps it's a special item that can't be disclosed! If that's the case, Austin telling you about it is already quite good. As a person in the know, Ifia was defending Austin, which meant she was also defending herself. After Ifia finished speaking, Lucy, who had been quietly watching the show, couldn't help but chuckle, her eyes showing some schadenfreude as she looked at Jessica, causing Jessica to turn red, feeling very embarrassed and rolling her eyes back and forth. Something was definitely up! Before Ifia could ask, Lucy proactively informed, "Ifia, you weren't here, so you didn't know. Austin is aggressively pursuing Jessica. The entire Pris Academy's students know; she's been sending roses every day. It's really outrageous!" "Ah, Lucy, stop it. It's so embarrassing!" Midway through Jessica reached to cover Lucy's mouth, violently stopping her. After Lucy admitted defeat with a muffled sound, Jessica couldn't help but release her hand, feeling exasperated and giving Ifia an irritated look, as if she couldn't bear to feel embarrassed alone and decided to drag Ifia into it. "Always saying how boring Austin is. Why not talk about something else? Like, Ifia, when are you going to confess to Miss Barren!"
