Chapter 44: King's Nightmare

"I shall honor my grandfather's promise and accept this engagement," declared the Eldest Princess, rising to her feet and speaking with her signature melodic yet cold tone.

Although she spoke about accepting the engagement, there was no hint of any emotion in her gaze toward the young man standing before her.

Unlike the people here, her father and she knew that the letter wasn't a lie. In fact, her grandfather had already told them before dying that he had arranged her engagement with a young genius. 

She and her father didn't take that statement seriously since no one came forward with the engagement letter all this time. 

However, just as they were starting to forget that matter, someone came forward. Furthermore, she discovered that the individual in question had no trace of Celestial Aura which left her feeling very let down that her grandfather had selected such an incompetent person for her.
