Chapter 141: A Peasant From Countryside

"Mother, I won't accept concubines. Also, do not pin your hopes up about that Verner girl, because the day I find her, it will be the last day of her life."

Oriana was shocked to hear what he said. 'Is he going to kill his betrothed? Why? Just because she doesn't want to marry him? Did it hurt his pride?' She shook her head in disbelief. 'So cruel. I hope this girl is never found. To have an arranged marriage with this madman, she sure is unlucky. Wherever she is, I hope she meets a good man who will love her for who she is.'

"Arlan…"

The prince changed the subject, "How about we talk about something else, Mother? How about throwing a ball for Lenard's wife to welcome her into the family? We can also use that opportunity to formally introduce her to the capital's noble families."

The older woman sighed and agreed, "Alright. That is what you want."
