Lora, Why Is There a Strange Man in Your Room?

As Lora gazed into the familiar tenderness in the other person's eyes, she let go of all her defenses.

"Jim, you already know?" Jim nodded, glancing around.

"Shall we go inside and talk?"

Seeing that her elder brother was still the same as before, as a flexible person, Lora stepped aside and let Jim enter.

Looking at the cramped twin room, Jim furrowed his brows.

"Didn't we assign you a single room before?"

Lora shrugged. "Those were too expensive, and I don't have enough money now."

Upon hearing this, Jim immediately activated his virtual screen and wanted to transfer money to her.

Lora quickly grabbed his hand.

"Jim, please don't give me any star coins. I won't spend the Sharp Family's money anymore. Including these past ten years, I will repay everything the Sharp Family has spent on raising me."

Jim felt deeply distressed upon hearing this.

His handsome brows furrowed tightly.

"Lora, why do you have to do this? Today's incident was all Silvia's fault. Come home with me and I'll make her apologize to you. As for the genetically matched marriage…"

Jim looked up, his eyes filled with anticipation as he gazed at Lora.

"The match wasn't successful, right?"

Just as Lora was about to speak, the door to her dormitory was knocked again.

Today was truly strange.

It was her first day moving in, yet there were already so many visitors to her dormitory.

Lora had no choice but to reach out and open the door.

Then, she saw a fox-eared young man in a white and blue school uniform lazily leaning against the door.

He squinted his blue eyes and a smile curved at the corners of his mouth.

"Lora, when did you wake up? Why didn't you call me when you left…"

When the fox-eared young man saw Jim inside the room, he suddenly froze.

The nonchalant smile on his face disappeared without a trace.

His lips pursed slightly, and a dense mist began to form in his Klein blue eyes.

He accused, "Lora, why is there a strange man in your room?"

Upon hearing the term "strange man", Lora's lips twitched.

As a highly perceptive wolf clan orc, she could sense that the person in front of her was undergoing a change in the aura, and the surrounding air was filled with intense hostility.

She furrowed her brows. "Stop talking nonsense, he is my elder brother."

"I see."

Inside the room, Jim heard the voice and walked out.

He was initially puzzled, but when his gaze fell upon the fox-eared young man, he was filled with shock.

"Why is Ninth Prince here?!"

After the former king of Alpha Planet gave birth to the crown prince, he fell ill and passed away.

A year later, the king remarried and the current queen. Though married for many years, the queen had not been able to conceive.

Eventually, she gave birth to Marcus Wood, a rare nine-tailed fox orc, who was then known as the Ninth Prince.

Jim held a high military rank and had encountered the Ninth Prince several times before.

He immediately knelt down and paid his respects to Marcus.

Upon hearing that Jim was Lora's elder brother, Marcus waved his hand dismissively.

Only then did he let go of his guard, reaching out to hold Lora's hands and intertwined their fingers. He looked at her pitifully.

"Lora, you've misunderstood me."

He was referring to the message Lora had sent.

He had never intended to divorce.

Lora was also a bit shocked.

She had seen the Ninth Prince on the internet, but this young man before her, with fair skin and an excessively handsome appearance, was different from the one online.

She still remembered that the Ninth Prince from her memory was extremely cold.

Despite being around the same age as her, he had become a high-ranking commander on Alpha Planet due to his immense strength and high transformation level at a young age.

"Are you truly the Ninth Prince?"

Marcus half-lowered his eyes and his white dog-like ears drooped slightly.

He exuded an emo aura, low in spirit, and his appearance was both pitiful and adorable.

Jim cleared his throat and said to Lora, "Ninth Prince is currently in his rut, so he's a bit different from his usual self. Moreover, he shouldn't be wandering around at this time. Lora, how did you meet Ninth Prince?"

How did they meet?

Through a marriage arrangement.

And not long ago, they had also gone through his rut together!!!

Lora knew that Jim had many questions, but at this moment, she had her fair share of questions as well!

How could she casually apply for marriage and end up with a prince as her partner?

Her luck was truly extraordinary.

Should she buy a lottery?

Perhaps she might even win a whole planet?

"Jim, let's talk later."

Lora forcefully pulled Marcus into the dormitory without any explanation and then closed the door.

Therefore, she didn't see the fleeting desolation in Jim's eyes.

Marcus, who was dragged into the dormitory, raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

He looked around and expressed his disdain, "This place is so small. Can people actually live here? And it is even for two people? Lora, who are you going to live with?"

Lora was speechless.

"We are just here to talk, not to live. Your Highness will not be squeezed."

"Lora, please don't call me Your Highness. You can call me Marcus," Marcus suggested.

Lora calmly took two steps back.

"Back at the Main Brain Center, why didn't you tell me that you were the Ninth Prince?"

A watery light slowly emerged in Marcus's beautiful gem-like eyes.

"Lora, are you despising me now?" Lora's lips twitched.

"It's not a matter of despising or not. Although we went through a rut together, there's something I need to tell you. I am the adopted daughter of the Sharp Family, and I have already left them. I have no relationship with them anymore. Now, I am just a freshman at Imperial University, an orphan without any relatives. Under such circumstances, are you still sure you want to marry me?"

Upon hearing this, Marcus's eyes brightened instantly.

"Lora, do you mean that from now on, I'm all you have?"

Lora: "…"

After she had just made such a long speech, the man only heard this one sentence.

Lora remembered what her elder brother had said about Marcus being in a rut, unable to reason properly, and having certain cognitive issues.

Moreover, considering his noble status, Lora took a deep breath.

"I'm worried that you might regret it in the future. So, let's discuss the matter of marriage properly after your rut ends."

Although Lora admitted that she was infatuated with him at first sight, his identity was special, and his condition was unique.

It would be better to be cautious about the matter of marriage.

After all, he was a member of the royal family.

Upon hearing this, Marcus's fluffy fox ears drooped instantly.

With his delicate and beautiful features, his eyes were filled with mist, making it hard for anyone to resist feeling soft-hearted.

"Lora, it seems that you do despise me after all…"

Lora was a bit speechless.

If it were someone else acting so unreasonably, she would have kicked them out long ago.

But the person in front of her had just gone through a rut with her and was a prince…

Lora took a deep breath.

"Marriage is a serious matter and must be approached with caution. So, here's what we'll do. I just started school and have many things to do. You should go home first and, um, talk to your family about this situation. I have no family, so it doesn't matter, but you do. I hope that our marriage will be blessed by your family."

Marcus tilted his head, pondered for a moment, and thought that Lora made sense.

He happily said, "Then, Lora, let me take you home!"
