Chapter 685 Setting the date
Chapter 685 Setting the date
The king didn't show any signs of being in pain after being punched by Angela and just looked at her with a smile.
After punching the king in the chest, Angela said, "This is our business, this isn't something that you need to concern yourself with. How could you even think of mentioning something like that?"
The king looked at her with a worried look before saying, "Darling, you don't know what it's like, so I'm worried about you. You shouldn't look down on things like this, it hurts much more than you…"
Before the king could finish, Angela's fist came forward once more.
This time, she punched him right in the gut and she didn't hold back. She used all of her strength to punch the king in the gut before saying, "We've never talked about this before and we don't need to talk about it now. Even if you're my father, I don't want to talk about these things with you."
The king had bent over when he received this body blow from Angela since this blow was actually quite powerful. It had knocked the wind out of him when he received this blow from her.
Holding his stomach, he had to breathe hard a few times before he was able to catch his breath.
Angela just stood over the king, as if she was waiting to see what he would say next.
But it didn't seem that sweet since she was standing over him with her hand raised in the form of a fist. It was as if she was ready to punch him if he said anything wrong.
After catching his breath, the king said, "I'm really worried about you since you've never had any kind of experience like this before. When your mother and I…"
There was the same punch that hit his stomach.
The king really didn't learn from his mistakes as he kept making the same mistakes again and again.
Sometimes, it is better to keep one's mouth shut…
The two of them continued like this for a bit until Angela finally said, "If you talk about that one more time, then I won't regard you as my father anymore."
The king revealed a look of panic when he heard this before looking at both the fourth prince and me for help. However, both of us turned away since this was a hole that he dug for himself and we weren't willing to jump into the hole with him.
So in the end, the king had no choice but to bow his head and say, "I promise, I won't say anything like that again."
Angela gave a satisfied nod before sitting back down beside me.
However, after sitting down beside me, she turned to look at me…though she was looking at my crotch rather than at me…
The king gave another cough as if he was calming himself down before saying, "Let's set that matter aside and discuss another matter. We still need to discuss when your wedding will be. Now that we've already taken care of everything else, all we have to do is set a date for your wedding."
The two of us were caught off guard when he said this, but Angela's eyes quickly lit up before she turned to look at me with an expectant look.
It was clear by the look in her eyes that she wanted to set this wedding date as soon as possible.
But for me…I had other thoughts.
"How long can we delay this?" I said in a slow voice.
There was no response as all three of them looked at me with different expressions.
Angela looked at me with a hurt look, the king looked at me with an angry look as if I had betrayed his expectations, and it was only the fourth prince who looked at me as if he was trying to figure out the hidden meaning behind my words.
Seeing them all look at me like this, I said, "There's still other things that need to be done before this, right? We can't just hold the wedding right away or else the nobles will want to try something. We have to take care of them first."
The three of them still looked at me with different expressions, but they nodded in agreement in the end.
Angela and the king looked disappointed while the fourth prince just looked at me with a faint smile.
I knew that it would take a lot to convince them, but there was something that I had been holding back from them.
Looking at them now, I realized that I had become much closer to then I had thought I would. This also made me feel like I could trust them since they would be able to trust me.
So taking a deep breath, I said with a serious look, "I know that it'll be hard, but I need you to believe in me. At the very least, we have to take care of Duke Yuletide and the Yuletide Family."
All three of them revealed confused looks when they heard this and as they should since I hadn't explained anything yet.
"I know that it will be hard to believe without any evidence, but the Yuletide Family has been planning a rebellion for many generations now. As long as they see an opening, they will take it and try to take down the royal family. I do not want to leave them if I were to take the throne."
Shock appeared on the faces of all three of them before they slowly revealed different expressions.
In the end, the fourth prince said, "Just what are you planning to do with them? Let's hear your plan and decide."
