Chapter 76: Unraveling Thoughts

"What!?" The whole team were dumbfounded as they all thought doubtfully, 'Shouldn't she work hard to gain the favour of the Prince by giving it her all in the Grand Sea Continent Meet?'

They couldn't understand why she was acting arrogantly in front of the Prince.

"This... Young Mistress, isn't this a little too hasty to withdraw from the Competition?"

"Yeah, this is only the preliminaries, with your power, you could score more in the second round of the Grand Sea Continent Meet."

Evelynn calmly said, "I have finished my business in this place, so I'm withdrawing," She then whipped out her red token and stretched out her hand to Kent, "Take this, it's of no use to me now."

Kent looked at that token weirdly and backed off, then he slowly said, "Evelynn, I have no idea what business you had here, but shouldn't you at least make an effort to be worthy of the prince. I thought about this before as well, but you are too arrogant."

Evelynn who heard that was visibly shocked at his thoughts.

"I am arrogant!?" Her eyes went wide as she asked them. But her tone was one of questioning herself.

"I meant no offence, but what makes you think that you are worthy of Prince Davis? Comparing your measly talent with his talent, combined with the age difference, what exactly makes you think that you are worthy of him? If it weren't for the risky decision of our family during the rebellion, which as a result, made the Royal Family indebted to us, do you think that you would be able to enjoy its benefits?"

Evelynn was visibly shaken while each word hit her deeply as she was dragged down to reality.

"It's not like I wanted this marriage, he was the one who had taken a liking towards me!" She shouted back in frustration.

Kent narrowed his eyes as he continued, "The prince had miraculously somehow taken a liking to you, probably because he had just reached puberty. If I guessed it correctly, then he was probably enamoured by your charms and figure which could drive a man crazy. If it weren't for that, how could he, a person of high stature, possibly take a liking towards you who at best possesses only an average talent?"

"Don't you think that one day when he grows up that he will just get tired of your figure and realises that he should no longer try to please you since you are so arrogant and not worthy of his time?"

"No! Stop! I didn't want this! It was our family who forced me to marry him!" Evelynn shouted as she couldn't bear to face her reality anymore.

"Hmph, what had you done for the Cauldon Family other than wasting resources? Do you think that you can be so free that you can do anything you want just because you were born as the daughter of the Family Head? As the Young Mistress of our family, you have a responsibility to satisfy the family whether you like it or not!"

A few moments of silence passed by as the atmosphere turned rather tense.

Kent harrumphed and said, "So you don't want him, huh? Fine! Look at Zara! She looks like she couldn't wait to steal the Prince from you, so why don't you rather gift the Young Mistress status to her if you don't want this marriage! Simple, right?"

Evelynn looked at Kent in disbelief and Zara Cauldon, who was the only other woman in this group, suddenly looked startled as she had no idea why she was brought into this conversation.

"Zara, don't you want to marry the prince? Weren't you keen on her marriage? Evelynn says that she would gladly give her status to you if you want to do so..."

Zara was shocked again as her secret motives which she hadn't acted on, were revealed in front of everyone. She hurriedly bit the bullet and said, "Yes! I would gladly take the Young Mistress's position and marry the Prince if Young Mistress doesn't want it!"

"There you have it! Zara says that she would like to marry the Prince! Your problem is solved right!? I know you just want a peaceful life in the family. Zara, with your position as the future Young Mistress, isn't this a piece of cake for you?" Kent grinned as he feined his voice to a serious tone.

"Yes, if our Evelynn wants to live peacefully, then it is within my powers to do it! In fact, I can agree with her future demands as well!" Zara spoke seriously while she hid her excitement at the prospect of climbing the hierarchical ladder.

As a talented member of a family, she had envied the Young Mistress position of Evelynn. She felt that Evelynn didn't deserve to be the Young Mistress just because she was the daughter of the family head.

In the Cauldon Family, it was difficult for one to keep their positions if they haven't achieved anything. If it weren't for Evan Cauldon, Evelynn's father, who had secretly protected her from every problem, then Evelynn would probably be dead or sold to some powerful characters even before she reached 15.

As a father, Evan Cauldon had wished the best for his daughter in everything, and to him, marrying her off to the Prince seemed like a deal from heaven which couldn't be any better.

Silence reigned down on the place as everyone looked at Evelynn for her answer.

"... I ...I " Evelynn stuttered as she trembled.

Visible anger filled her face violently when suddenly, she felt reality drowning upon her.

Abruptly, she lost her bearings and went crazy as reality hit her hard, "Shut up! Who do you think you are!? I won't hand over my position! Neither will I hand over my fated one! He is mine!"

Utter silence reigned once again as everyone looked at her lose her mind while Kent, who was the only one, who was calm, grinned in satisfaction as he nodded as he thought, 'Provoking always works on someone who thinks that they're high and mighty.'

Evelynn looked at others bewilderedly. It was not that she couldn't believe what they had said, it was because she was dumbfounded at her own words.

Various thoughts raced through her head as she realized her own deep wishes.
