My Discarded Fiancé Returned (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 61
Seeing Lucas’s confident demeanor, the Emperor declared a brief recess. This meant the assembly would run long—and that the Crown Prince had been granted final time to prepare his supporting arguments.
“Your Highness, are you really going to do nothing?”
Cedric asked, watching Lucas lounging idly in the reception room.
“What preparations?”
“Wasn’t your bold declaration made because you already had some sort of plan or countermeasure?”
No matter how many years they’d spent together, Cedric could never predict where Lucas might leap next. He should have grown used to it by now, yet Lucas’s sudden, shocking statement in the assembly just moments ago still left him flustered.
“Today is the first day Your Highness has attended the assembly.”
“So?”
“Simply following the flow would have been enough.”
Cedric’s meaning was clear. The Emperor’s hope was merely for Lucas to gradually familiarize himself with the assembly and the nobles, and to learn how state affairs were managed—not to launch such impulsive actions on his very first day.
“Not everyone has ample time. His Imperial Majesty the Emperor is indeed a great sovereign, but for decisions made in this audience chamber to truly reach the common people, countless procedures are required.”
Even Cedric had to nod in agreement at that. He, too, had stood alongside Lucas on the battlefield. To them, a single sip of water right before their eyes mattered far more than a distant Emperor.
“It’s true that Astel achieved unimaginable prosperity in such a short time thanks to the Crown Princess—but it was also because her orders could be carried out immediately.”
Lucas knew how to look beyond the surface of success and see the process behind it.
Serena’s bold ideas and her innate ability to lead everyone were extraordinary, but it was precisely because she stayed in the territory herself as acting duchess, executing every idea instantly, that the fruits of six years had become so remarkable.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:
What she can’t stand the most is the streets full of effeminate men, especially that so-called top beauty whom she avoids at all costs.
Shen Yaoxing looks at Jiang Mingyue, who keeps approaching her with coy shyness.
Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
