"Why? The country now needs a wedding. With the new prince and the power of our family, they won't dare act recklessly."
"I don't want to consolidate royal power through a woman."
Connor's tone was light, lacking the warmth from his initial meeting with Kaylee.
He understood the oppression Harry Hunter had once endured; if even marriage couldn't be autonomous, what was the point of being a prince?
"And besides, I don't like you, Kaylee. I just consider you an ordinary friend."
"That's okay, we can cultivate feelings after marriage just the same."
Kaylee's face turned somewhat pale. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "You have someone you like, don't you?"
"Yes."
"But she can't help you, Connor. I'm the most suitable for you, and the King won't allow you to marry a foreign woman."
Connor laughed lightly. That's why he's been working hard, learning all sorts of tedious knowledge, mastering how to restrain his emotions, and learning various schemes and plots.
