Alyssa's previous comments were essentially fabrications.
After ascending the throne to become Empress, she could marry whoever she wanted, even a commoner, and no one would have a say. Su Yu wouldn't need to "fight for his position".
She said those words for two main reasons:
First, she wanted to give Su Yu some things to help him quickly increase his strength. But there always needs to be a suitable excuse to give gifts, right?
Second, she wanted to use this opportunity to inform Tina that Su Yu was her chosen one, hinting her to keep her distance from Su Yu.
Tina obviously understood what the princess meant.
"Prince?!" Tina couldn't believe it as she looked at Su Yu.
The princess had actually set her sights on Su Yu? If Su Yu became a prince, wouldn't she lose her chance to develop a relationship with him?
Thinking about this, a huge shadow instantly veiled her heart.
But then she thought again.
