*Cough!*
*Cough!*
Nathan was dumbstruck. He had suspected her intention was sothing like this, but he never thought Regina would suddenly beco so bold.
"What are you doing? Aren’t you supposed to be a princess?"
"Oh my. It’s normal for a princess to get married. And right now, there is soone suitable right in front of ." Regina smiled seductively, crossing her legs.
Nathan was speechless. ’How in the world did you suddenly beco so shaless? Or have I pushed her so much that she has no choice but to do this in desperation?’
Nathan’s eyebrows twitched. He grabbed her wrist and gently pushed her away. "Your Highness. Please respect yourself."
Regina bit her lip. "Am I not beautiful?"
"You are very beautiful, more beautiful than most won in the world."
"Then, am I not sexy enough?"
"The one who says yes might have a different orientation."
"Then why? Don’t you like mature won? I can beco anyone you like. You just have to tell about it."
Nathan dropped his jaw. "What? Who slandered ?"
"His Imperial Majesty told ."
Nathan felt like spurting blood. What actually happened? How did the emperor slander him?
"I’m not sure what you’re talking about? How in the world did you reach that conclusion?"
Regina sighed. "Don’t you have several won already? Luna, Evelyn, Bella, Vivian, and even lissa."
Nathan scratched the back of his head. "It’s true about Luna, Evelyn, and Bella. But lissa is not. Besides, I already have fiancees back ho. So are of the sa age, and even if they’re older, the age gap is not more than two years. So, you misunderstand . Whether you are a mature woman or not is not exactly the reason."
"..." Regina’s face turned pale soon after. She never thought she would face such a day where she would be rejected because of a misconception of one’s preferences.
She dropped to the ground and gasped. "You... You..."
Nathan sighed helplessly. "You misunderstood ."
Regina’s embarrassnt soared to the peak. She had trained herself on the front line, becoming as tough as a stone.
Yet, this embarrassnt was too much for soone like her that tears were subconsciously leaking out of the corner of her eyes.
"This... This..."
Nathan was dumbfounded and soon panicked. Her age was almost twice his, so he didn’t expect her to cry.
"Ehm, this..." Nathan wondered what he should say in this situation.
"I can’t marry anymore." Regina dropped to the ground. She couldn’t help but rember the ’hellish’ training that her brother forced her to capture Nathan’s heart, but it turned out to be useless.
"Your Highness. Please don’t cry. You are definitely a very attractive woman. There’s no one who can deny that."
"Then, will you marry ?"
Nathan smiled wryly. "Sorry, but I have to refuse. I’m going to return to my continent after this is done."
"..." Regina looked devastated.
Nathan felt like screaming to ask for help, but it would beco a disaster if anyone saw what happened in this room.
"I believe Your Highness will find a man more compatible than ."
"Then why did you choose Luna? Aren’t you supposed to be returning to your continent?"
’Aren’t you supposed to talk about my offer of the magic gun and the summoning circle? Why are we talking about this?’ was what Nathan wanted to say, but he could only reply, "Luna’s matter has been decided. Sarfan Eleren will remain as the family head of the Eleren family.
"That’s what I’ve promised to Luna. We will just stop him because he has been corrupted by the Death Society. In exchange, Luna will help fight the aliens, not just in this world, but also in their world."
Regina bit her lip. There was a slight hesitation in her heart. This was what differentiated her from Luna.
If Luna were the one in front of him, she would say without hesitation that she would follow him.
However, Regina had so hesitation because of the empire. If she left, there was no guarantee that it would benefit the empire.
This was why he never chose Regina. Besides, the sche was a bit too deep, so he didn’t want to get entangled in this ssy politics.
Nathan let out a long sigh. "Your Highness. Please allow to say this. Sotis, there are things that are never ant to be together.
"However, I can guarantee you I won’t do anything to harm the empire. All I want is just to end this war against the aliens and the black cell.
"I have seen... the powerful being that once created portals connecting this world to the alien world will once again descend upon this land and destroy this world.
"That’s why you can rest assured that my attention has never been on the empire."
"..." Regina’s body shook. She realized sothing after what he said. For so reason, her heart felt slightly relieved after his words.
She ca to the realization that her heart would never belong to him. It would always belong to the empire.
That was why they couldn’t be together.
Regina lowered her head. ’Ah... I’m so pathetic. We have two different principles in the first place, and those two principles will never combine.’
This was probably the first ti she had felt such heartbreak. This was not an ordinary heartbreak.
She couldn’t give up her principles, nor could he. She had learned a lot about political marriage, but political marriages could succeed if they at least shared one sa intention.
But there was no such thing between them.
Regina just kept looking down as her tears stread down her eyes. She didn’t say anything afterward, which made the atmosphere awkward.
Nathan scratched the back of his head. This was indeed hard, but there was nothing he could do.
Nathan sighed inwardly and closed his eyes. Rather than continuing to say anything and making it worse, he remained silent for a while, letting Regina sort her mind first.
’I wonder if I’ve made a mistake...’
