Chapter 66 - Answer

Within the silent room, everyone’s gazes fell on Chen Heng’s body.

Sensing Princess Olivia’s gaze, Chen Heng remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.

“To me, liking or not liking someone is something that is quite vague,” he lightly said, breaking the silence, “But I like the feeling of being together with Miss Verna…

“In the past, I never thought that I would care about someone’s figure or existence before… In the past, I never thought about marrying, but now…”

Chen Heng looked up and said seriously, “If that person is her, I think I am willing. I am willing to walk with her hand in hand in this life and take care of her. For better or for worse, in sickness and in health. No matter what happens, till death do us part…”

Chen Heng’s calm words sounded out. Even though his voice was very calm, they contained a resoluteness that anyone could feel.

Listening to those words, Olivia could not help but feel moved.

“For better or for worse, in sickness and in health. No matter what happens, till death do us part…”

She stared at Chen Heng’s calm but resolute gaze and felt her heart stir.

If anyone else said those words, she would instinctively doubt their sincerity.

Even though it was easy to make such a promise, to keep it for an entire lifetime was incredibly difficult.

If it was someone else saying these words, even if she felt the emotions behind them, she would doubt how long they would last.

However, since they were said by the Knight before her…

She looked at Chen Heng and thought about who he was and what he had done.

Under the faint light, Chen Heng sat there with an incredibly straight figure, his handsome face looking incredibly appealing. There was an indescribable resoluteness in his gaze, making her want to trust him.

He had such a perfect exterior and his actions in the past also made him seem perfect as well.

He was kind, trustworthy, magnanimous, powerful, diligent, intelligent, and resolute…

Such wonderful adjectives would not be an exaggeration to all be used on this Knight.

If it was this person, if it was this Knight…

“Perhaps he will really do what he said…”

Olivia could not help but smile, feeling happy for Verna.

For some reason, even though she should feel quite happy, she also felt a bit of jealousy.

What if this excellent man had fallen for someone else?

However, Verna’s emotions were completely the opposite.

Looking at Chen Heng and hearing his words, Verna almost jumped up, and joy and excitement were written all over her face.

“He really does like me too.” Looking at Chen Heng sitting down in the room, she could barely contain her delight.

In fact, if it wasn’t for the female attendant desperately holding on to her, she might not have been able to control herself and rushed into Chen Heng’s embrace.

“Very good.”

Hearing Chen Heng’s reply, Olivia fell silent for a while before smiling and saying, “Since it’s like that, there are no problems. Go back and prepare your things.”

She continued in an unquestionable tone, “In a few days, you will be officially listed as my subordinate, and we will begin planning your wedding with Verna.”

Looking at Olivia, Chen Heng raised his head, and seemed to want to say something, but he paused and only nodded as he said, “Yes.”

After saying this, Olivia waved her hand, indicating that Chen Heng could leave.

Chen Heng followed the path that he had arrived from and slowly walked out.

Soon, he came to where he had arrived from and prepared to get on his carriage.

“Sir, shall we leave?” The driver softly asked.

Chen Heng nodded, but he seemed to sense something and slowly turned and looked towards a corner.

In the corner, there was a girl dressed in a long dress, looking quite pretty. She was looking at him, a big smile on her face.

Seeing Chen Heng look over, she excitedly waved and grinned at him.

Chen Heng also waved back and smiled.

The two of them looked at each other for a long time.

………

Only after some sounds could be heard from outside did Chen Heng come back to his senses.

Looking at Verna, he gave an apologetic smile before getting on his carriage and leaving.

“Your Highness, we should go back,” the female attendant said to Verna looking at the slowly disappearing carriage.

“Alright.”

Verna was reluctant to part with Chen Heng, and looking at the carriage driving off, she nodded, “Let’s go.”

…

On the way back, sitting in the carriage, Chen Heng silently thought to himself.

After what had happened today, the matter with Verna had been resolved.

With Princess Olivia’s status, since she had agreed to it, there would be no issues with this anymore.

Marrying Princess Verna was only the first step for Chen Heng.

To him, what was the most important thing was to use Verna’s identity to obtain benefits.

“After marrying Verna, I will be part of the Kutu royal family and one of Princess Olivia’s closest subordinates…”

Sitting in the carriage, Chen Heng thought to himself, “Using this identity, I can get my own territory…

“Perhaps getting an incredibly prosperous and fertile one will not be possible, but one on the northern side close to the desert should be no problem…”

Verna was the Kutu Principality’s Third Princess, and because she was Olivia’s biological sister, her relationship with Olivia was incredibly close.

After Chen Heng married Verna, even if he was not willing, he would become part of Princess Olivia’s faction.

Olivia would most likely greatly value this brother-in-law of hers, and she would use her power and connections to get him a decent territory.

This was not just helping Chen Heng but helping herself as well.

After all, according to this world’s culture, after Chen Heng married Verna, he would become one of her subordinates.

The stronger Chen Heng was, the more he would be able to help her.

Even if it was just because of this, Olivia would arrange for Chen Heng to go to an important place.

This was especially so after he had displayed his power.
