Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 118
Prince Alfonso was keenly watching for any chance to slip out of the palace. However, in the early spring just after the court’s return from the south, most official schedules were arranged so that people came to Palazzo Carlo to pay respects to the royal family. Ariadne had no reason to enter the court, yet the prince simply couldn’t find an opportunity to leave.
“Your Highness. As you well know, the royal palace ball is absolutely out of the question. There’s a world of difference between a marriage alliance negotiation failing due to incompatible terms and it failing because of us.”
“…I know that.”
Alfonso had been designated by King Leo III to escort Grand Duchess Larisa at the royal palace ball.
“…Then how about this—after the royal palace ball, on the day of the Spring Festival, could I meet Ari outside?”
Prince Alfonso was scheduled to deliver a ceremonial address at Piazza San Benedetto, the largest square in San Carlo, on the opening day of the Spring Festival. It was the only outing he could find after scrutinizing his itinerary like a starving man licking crumbs.
“Your Highness, do you really intend to stroll hand-in-hand with your lady amidst commoners? I’ll grant permission only if you reinforce your guard detail to about three hundred soldiers.”
“You said I didn’t need your permission.”
“You remember only the parts that suit you. Security isn’t negotiable. Denied. Absolutely denied.”
Alfonso frowned.
Alfonso was going through his schedule with Bernardino, trying to pick a date for their outing—or rather, a date with Ariadne, not Bernardino.
“Good grief, this is my fate,” sighed Bernardino, who was approaching forty and still single, pounding his chest dramatically. “I don’t even know if my future wife is a real person yet or whether she’s even been born—and here I am, arranging someone else’s date.”
“If you hadn’t hoarded your vacation days and avoided love, why blame me now?”
“All this overtime and devotion—wasn’t it all for your sake, Your Highness?”
“Happiness isn’t something others secure for you. You must secure it yourself.”
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
