Chapter 1045 The Truth Behind Boundless Ambition
Chapter 1045 The Truth Behind Boundless Ambition
Although he cared deeply for his younger sister, seeing her like this, the Sixth Prince couldn't help but question her.
Sisi rolled her eyes at him and said:
"I want you to manage."
The sixth prince sighed, then rubbed his forehead and said:
"Little sister, can't you learn from other well-bred young ladies? I can let bygones be bygones when you're in the territory, but you're still like this back in the capital. What am I supposed to say to you?"
Sisi, hearing the sixth prince's lecturing tone, immediately became impatient. Coupled with the fact that her emotions had already been distorted by Samlett and she harbored resentment towards the sixth prince, she angrily retorted:
"What do you want from me? You still have the nerve to talk about the territory. When my mother passed away, she told you and my father to take good care of me, but what did you do? You abandoned me in the territory so early."
Upon hearing Sisi's complaints, the sixth prince immediately wanted to refute her with several reasons.
But seeing Sisi's stubborn eyes, he didn't say anything in the end.
Seeing that the sixth prince had nothing to say, Sisi's heart grew even colder, and she then spoke coldly:
"Get out of my way, you're blocking my way."
Sisi walked past him and headed out of the mansion, while the Sixth Prince looked deeply troubled. He desperately wanted to stop Sisi and tell her that he wasn't abandoning her, but that the political vortex in the capital was fraught with intrigue, and he had to send her away to protect her.
But the guilt he felt, stemming from having taken advantage of Sisi again, prevented him from grabbing her and explaining everything to her.
The sixth prince gritted his teeth. No matter what, he had to try again, just like when he sent Sisi away.
The sixth prince left the princess's residence and headed straight for the camp outside the city.
After leaving the mansion, Sisi went straight to the royal palace, as she needed to inquire about the information about the Imperial Household Department from her father.
Upon hearing that it was Sisi who had come to pay her respects, King Como XIV immediately put down the documents in his hand and greeted her with a smile:
"Let the princess in."
"Father."
Sisi bowed slightly in greeting.
King Como XIV smiled and said:
"Oh, my dear Sisi, last time you were angry with your father, I thought you would never come to see me again. I am truly happy that you came today."
Hearing King Como XIV mention what happened last time, Sisi had a new idea in mind, and immediately went up to him, grabbed his arm, and said in a coquettish tone:
"Father, you should know about what happened today. Sam is no longer a poor boy with no status or position. He is worthy of your daughter, so please grant your request."
Although Samlett twisted her mind, it was only a slight change; her nature toward Samlett remained unchanged.
However, King Como XIV frowned slightly upon hearing this, but seeing his little girl's coquettish manner, he embraced Sissy and then said:
"Your father promised your mother that he would choose the best husband in the world for you in the future. The previous men were all ugly and undesirable, but your standards are very high, so your father will let you choose your own husband."
Upon hearing this, Sisi sensed a chance and immediately replied:
“Father, aren’t you talking about Sam? He has a legendary master, and he is also a genius himself, with the qualifications to reach the legendary level. Isn’t such a genius the best husband candidate for your daughter in the world?”
King Como XIV hugged Sissy tighter, then, following her words, smiled and said:
"Yes, he is certainly one of them. Before Father found that person, he was the best son-in-law in Father's mind."
However, upon hearing this, Sisi's expression immediately changed, and she looked up at Como XIV and said:
"Father, what do you mean by that? Could it be that you have already betrothed me to someone else?"
Before King Como XIV could explain, Sisi continued:
"No wonder, why did you only recall your daughter when none of the other sisters returned to the council this time? It turns out that you have already found a buyer and sold me off."
"Well, I think you got a good price for your daughter, Father."
Hearing Sisi's extreme words, King Como XIV felt a surge of guilt and sadness. He shook his head and said:
"Why do you think of your father like that? I did not sell you. I have simply found you the best husband in the world, and you will become the most honorable woman in the world."
"What do you mean by the best husband and the most honorable woman? Father, please stop lying to me. Even if I marry the crown prince of one of the five kingdoms, so what? Are you trying to marry me off to His Majesty the Emperor?"
Sisi shouted in a somewhat out-of-control manner, and only after shouting the last sentence and seeing her father looking at her with some relief did she come to her senses.
She then covered her mouth and said:
"How is that possible? He can't be here. He should still be in the North."
When Sisi realized what information she knew, her mind went completely blank.
Your Majesty, it was clearly His Majesty who orchestrated the events in the North, and several kingdoms were already preparing for war. And now you're telling her that His Majesty isn't in the North, but in their Kingdom of Komo, and that he's the next husband her father chose for her? This is just too surreal.
"No, that's impossible. The Great Wall Army aren't stupid."
Sisi was initially bewildered, but her political acumen as a princess quickly reminded her that the Wall Army couldn't be so foolish as to create a fake emperor and then seize the entire North.
In that case, they wouldn't be seeking a breakthrough, but rather truly courting death.
Therefore, in Sisi's opinion, the guy her father found must not be the real emperor.
"Father, have you gone mad? Forging His Majesty the Emperor is an unforgivable crime! If discovered, even the King will die..."
At this point, Sisi realized what was happening, and then she covered her mouth and backed away repeatedly. She never expected that her father would go to such lengths.
Sisi immediately tried to escape. Even if she didn't reveal the news, she couldn't let her father use her as a tool.
Because what is fake will always be fake. Even if they eventually destroy the real one, the fake one will still suffer a very tragic fate.
She didn't want to lose her life in vain.
However, just as she was about to escape, King Como XIV had her captured.
He walked step by step to Sisi, knelt down, and gently stroked her tear-streaked face, saying softly:
"Daughter, you have had enough time. For the success of this operation, your father has no choice but to offer you, his most beloved daughter."
Consider yourself dead from this day forward; from now on, you will dedicate everything to your family and the kingdom.
As Como XIV finished speaking, Sisi's eyes began to cloud over, and he was using methods to distort her thoughts.
What he didn't realize was that when he twisted, a special thread that Samley had planted in Sisi's brain snapped.
