Chapter 375 - The Rejection



"Already been fixed. Yes, I am well aware of that." Reginald calmly completed Adeline\'s sentence.

Adeline, Theodore, and Dragomir, all of them were in for a surprise when he said that he already knew about Adeline\'s marriage.

"You are aware of that? How?" Adeline narrowed her eyes at Reginald and then bluntly asked, "And why did you come here with the marriage proposal if you already knew it?"

Reginald was still unfazed by that sudden sharpness in Adeline\'s voice. He thought that he held the ultimate card up his sleeve.

And he responded to Adeline\'s question with a smug look on his face, "I heard whispers and rumors regarding your marriage. Since I already had a plan to ask your hand in marriage, it was only natural for me to want to know more about the background of my competitor."

Theodore raised his brows and glared at Reginald. He fisted over his mouth and thought, "O…kay! This is starting to get a little personal."

And as if it was him who found everything out after checking facts and reconfirming everything, Reginald asked with a bit of arrogance flickering in his eyes. "While doing the digging, I happened to know that your marriage has been fixed with the Second Prince of Romania. Am I correct?

"Yes, indeed. The whispers and rumors were very true." Adeline was also not backing away from showing her arrogance. She had nothing to hide and nothing to be ashamed of.

King Reginald took a deep breath in as if he was going to give the Princess really bad news. And he said with a sad tone, "That is the exact reason why I had to come here so urgently, Princess Adeline."

All three of those from Wyverndale were curious to know what that \'urgent\' was.

Reginald looked at Adeline as though he was greatly sympathizing with her and said, "Princess Adeline, I think you were too gullible while accepting that Second Prince\'s marriage proposal. I don\'t know what that man said to you or how he managed to make you agree to the marriage. But what I know is that…"

He sighed and continued while looking sorry, "I am sorry to say this but… there is no Second Prince in Romania. There is only one Prince there. So whoever came to ask your hand in marriage was a conman."

"Uh-huh! Not feeling personally attacked there," Theodore was trying hard not to appear in front of that puny King and slap him tightly across the face.

Reginald, on the other hand, was expecting to see the stunned expression on both the father and daughter\'s faces. However, he didn\'t get any change in their facial expression whatsoever. All they did was look at each other as if it was not a big deal.

The lost Rebekah was also now focused on the conversation because she could feel the tension rising in the air.

"You already knew that he was not the Second Prince of Romania?" Reginald glanced at both father and daughter in bewilderment.

Adeline gave an awkward smile and nodded, "Yes, we are well aware of that."

Reginald\'s face as well as heart dropped when he heard his own dialogue in reply. He went silent for a while. He was feeling like the greatest fool right now.

"Oh no!" Rebekah slowly and steadily turned her head to see the expression on her brother\'s face. She was afraid that he would do something stupid in his rage. Thankfully, he didn\'t look like he was about to lose his calm any time soon.

Reginald clenched his fists but maintained a composed expression on him. And he cursed his spy for not gathering the information correctly, "Wow! I became a fool because that fool did a half-arsed work. George… I will deal with you once I get back."

He was still adamant about winning over Adeline though. Just because they happened to know that the Prince was a fake, he was not going to give up on Adeline.

So he tried to understand why Adeline was marrying a fake Prince so that he could use something and try to persuade Adeline to marry him instead of that fake Prince. "If I may ask, why did you agree to the marriage when you know that he is a fraud?"

Adeline was already feeling agitated by this Vampire King. She wanted to shout why he cared about her personal matter. But she couldn\'t do so because she knew that nothing good would come out of provoking that Vampire.

So she tried to smile and speak softly, "He is not a fraud, Your Majesty. I have always known him for who he really is." And she even took the blame upon herself, "I was the one who falsified his identity because of some reasons which I cannot disclose."

Adeline gave a gentle bow and even apologized so that the Vampires would leave that instant. "I did not know that it would create such great confusion. I would like to sincerely apologize for that."

Adeline cleared her throat and even went as far as to say, "I really love that man so I hope that you will understand why I am rejecting your proposal. I hope there will be no hard feelings between us and our Kingdom just because of this."

The second Reginald felt that his window of opportunity was closing, his anger began to manifest on his face as well as body. His pale face and cold face looked as though it would burn anything that came in contact with him.

Dragomir could clearly see that Reginald was furious because of Adeline\'s rejection.

Dragomir would have loved to ask Reginald to leave before things got bitter. He disliked that lawless young King for spying on them for all this time. But he was a wise King. He knew that asking him to leave without any wife would strain the already bitter relationship between the Kingdoms.

As Reginald was already here and was looking for a wife, he tried to diffuse the situation by saying, "King Reginald, like you, I am also eager to build a good diplomatic relationship between our Kingdoms. And it so happens that I have 5 unmarried daughters, apart from Adeline."

Dragomir genuinely thought of arranging a meeting of Reginald with all five of his daughters, one by one. "Why don\'t you meet them and see if you like any one of my unmarried daughters? They are also Princesses of this Kingdom and our–"

But Reginald disregarded everything that Dragomir was saying and glared at Adeline. And then he spoke in a low growl, "Who is that fraud that did some kind of dark magic on all of you weak humans? Who the hell is he?"

"He is the Hell!"
