Chapter 1514 - 1514 Should I Agree?
1514 Should I Agree?
If one counted the descendants of the royal family of Declan that Chu Nan knew, not to mention Pamela, from the moment he entered the Declan Empire to participate in the Garden Hunting Assembly, there were probably more than a hundred in total. Among them, many of them had a good relationship and could even be said to be intimate.
According to the time, of course, Pamela was the first to know her, but when Chu Nan knew her, he did not know her identity at all. He did not even know her name. He only guessed from the cultivation method she used that it was the Exterminating Heart Technique and deduced that she might be a member of the royal family of the Declan Empire.
According to the most normal procedures of getting to know each other, in fact, the first person Chu Nan truly interacted with was someone else.
This person was Princess Viennelle, who had walked into the Judgment Hall.
Chu Nan blankly watched as Princess Viennelle lowered her head and walked into the hall. When she walked to Prince Lekas’ side, her brain that was equivalent to an A.I. almost instantly stopped circulating.
It was actually her?
Why her?
In the first stage of the Garden Hunting Assembly, Chu Nan had mistaken Princess Viennelle for Pamela and lured out Princess Romanti. After that, a series of things happened and he got to know a group of descendants of the royal family of the Declan Empire. In the end, he directly came into contact with Prince Lekas and could even be said to have saved his life.
The first person Chu Nan truly knew was Princess Viennelle, so his impression of her was naturally very deep.
Although he did not have much contact with Princess Viennelle strictly speaking and did not know her as well as he did with her sister, Princess Romanti, Chu Nan had a very good impression of this princess with a gentle personality. Most of the time, she was more like a commoner than a high and mighty princess. He felt that she was a very outstanding and likable girl.
However… he had never thought of any further development with Princess Viennelle, let alone an engagement!
“Viennelle, Prince Lekas just said that you’ve long been engaged to Chu Nan. Is this true?”
President Anduin’s cold voice sounded and saved Chu Nan from his mush-filled mind.
He immediately focused his gaze on Princess Viennelle and could not help but open his mouth, but he discovered that he could not say anything.
Princess Viennelle blushed slightly. Clearly, answering this question in public made her feel very shy, but she shook her lips lightly and still raised her head firmly, looking straight at President Anduin.
“Yes. Chu Nan and I were engaged when we participated in the first stage of the Garden Hunting Assembly. My sister can testify to this. Moreover, we informed Father at that time and he agreed to this marriage.”
There was another commotion in the trial hall.
Clearly, Princess Viennelle and Chu Nan had only met for the first time when they participated in the first stage of the Garden Hunting Assembly. It was possible that the two of them had met and fallen in love in that short month, so it was reasonable. However, the two of them were actually engaged and had obtained the recognition of Princess Romanti and even Prince Rokamp. This was too unbelievable!
Prince Rokamp was considered famous in the Declan royal family. The Princess Romanti he raised was even reputed to be a proud son of heaven and had high hopes among the next generation of the royal family. Although Princess Viennelle was inferior to Princess Romanti and was overshadowed by her sister’s light, she was still a very outstanding princess.
However, now, she had actually privately arranged an engagement with a guy from the Earth Federation. Prince Rokamp accepted it!
How was this possible?
President Anduin’s face could not help but turn slightly red. The elders beside him frowned.
Of course, they could see the problem. They were even certain that this was clearly a plan jointly formulated by Prince Lekas and Prince Rokamp and had convinced Viennelle to participate.
As for the goal, not only was it to help Chu Nan escape punishment, but most importantly, it was to make the marriage agreement between him and Princess Viennelle true.
However, why?
President Anduin looked at Chu Nan with a deep gaze and almost wanted to shoot into his heart.
The reason why Prince Lekas, Prince Rokamp, and even His Majesty Gremayne spent so much effort to protect this kid and spend so much effort to rope him into the royal family was definitely not because of their so-called relationship, nor was it because this kid had once saved Prince Lekas’s life. There was only one reason for this, and that was that this kid was worth it.
However, the price to pay for doing this was so great. How valuable was this kid?
Thinking of this, President Anduin sighed softly in his mind and softened his expression.
He did not like His Majesty Gremayne testing and even challenging the special privileges of the Elder Council in the clan again and again. However, if it was for the benefit of the Declan royal family, he was willing to give in.
Therefore, he swallowed the few questions in his stomach and asked Chu Nan expressionlessly, “Then, Chu Nan, Viennelle said that she and you have already been engaged in the first stage of the Garden Hunting Assembly. What do you have to say about this?”
Chu Nan glanced at President Anduin and glanced at the surrounding Declan royal family who were looking at him. In the end, his gaze swept past Prince Lekas who had been smiling and landed on Princess Viennelle.
Princess Viennelle blushed, but she still insisted on looking at Chu Nan and did not retreat.
It could be seen that she was very shy and wanted to avoid it, but she had been trying her best to control herself and show that she was in love with Chu Nan to the point of being engaged.
Seeing her like this, Chu Nan could not help but sigh in his mind.
The current situation was actually very obvious. If he denied that he had an engagement with Princess Viennelle in advance, he would have committed a huge crime and the only outcome waiting for him was death.
It would have been fine if it was just this, but if he was convicted, Pamela would be implicated.
The sentence that President Anduin had given her just now was to cripple her martial technique and imprison her for life. This was definitely an unacceptable punishment for Pamela.
Now that Princess Viennelle had admitted in front of so many people that she was engaged to Chu Nan and had even obtained the approval of her father, Prince Rokamp, if Chu Nan denied it in public, it was equivalent to slapping Prince Rokamp and Prince Lekas in front of everyone.
Most importantly, this was equivalent to slapping Princess Viennelle in public.
However, if he admitted to this engagement now, all the problems would be solved.
He did not have to die, and Pamela did not have to be punished. Prince Lekas and Prince Rokamp did not have to be embarrassed because of this, and Princess Viennelle did not have to be embarrassed.
However, should he really agree?
