Chapter 239 The Villain Lady Arrives 67
The third prince raised his head and met his mother's concerned eyes, but deep in his heart he hid a trace of disdain. He clearly remembered the contemptuous tone his mother used when she mentioned Alice just now, as if Alice was just an insignificant civilian girl who was not worthy of his royal dignity.
"Mother, you said Alice doesn't want my identity or my gold coins, so what does she want from me?"
The third prince sneered, his expression was a bit stubborn and rebellious, "You are wrong, she loves me as a person, not anything else."
The queen was furious when she heard her son defending the commoner girl. She was about to scold him, but she was stunned when she saw the determination and persistence in the third prince's eyes. She had never seen her son so serious, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.
The Third Prince took the opportunity to continue, "I know you all look down on Alice, thinking that she is just a commoner and has no right to stand by my side. But I want to tell you that she is much stronger than you think. She is kind, brave, and smart. She is the most special girl I have ever met."
At this point, the third prince's heart could not help but surge with warmth. He recalled every moment he had spent with Alice, and those warm and beautiful times made him more confident in his choice.
However, the queen was not moved by her son's words. She looked at the third prince coldly, her tone revealing unquestionable majesty: "As a member of the royal family, your marriage must be well-matched. Alice may be special, but she is still just a commoner and cannot bring you any help. You should be clear about your responsibilities and obligations."
The Third Prince felt annoyed when he heard this. He understood his mother's worries and expectations, but he could not accept this arranged fate. What he wanted was true love and the freedom to choose.
At this moment, the Third Prince suddenly flashed through Vivian's disdainful eyes. That kind of arrogance and indifference was like a sharp knife piercing his heart. He clenched his fists, and a trace of anger and shame flashed in his eyes.
"Why does Vivian look at me like that?" The Third Prince roared in his heart, "I can do things that are unfair to her, even betray her, but what qualifications does she have to treat me like that? Shouldn't she love me deeply and give me everything for me?"
These thoughts raged wildly in the Third Prince's mind, making him feel inexplicably angry and unwilling. He thought of Vivian's proud back and contemptuous eyes, and his determination became stronger.
"I want to be the king of this country." The third prince swore in his heart, "I want everything to crawl at my feet, including Vivian."
This determination made the Third Prince's eyes more resolute and cold. He knew that the road he was going to take would be full of hardships and challenges, but he was ready.
At this moment, the queen did not notice the change in her son's heart. She looked at the third prince's silence and thought that he had repented, so she said nothing more. She turned and left the hall, but she couldn't help but feel a little worried about her son's future.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the academy, Alice was immersed in the voices of her classmates. She heard them talking about Vivian and the third prince breaking off their engagement, and she couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart.
"Look, isn't this because the Third Prince broke off his engagement with Vivian for me?" Alice thought proudly in her heart, "He really loves me and can't wait to be with me."
However, Alice did not realize that her classmates' eyes were full of contempt and disdain. They looked at Alice's smug look and felt disgusted.
"What a shameless woman." A classmate muttered quietly, "She interfered with the relationship between the Third Prince and Miss Vivian, and she still has the nerve to be proud of herself here."
Another classmate also echoed: "That's right, don't you look at your own status and dare to compete with Miss Vivian for a man."
Although these discussions were small, they were clearly heard by Alice. Her face turned pale in an instant, and a trace of panic and uneasiness flashed in her eyes. She knew that she had become a target in everyone's eyes, but were they all true? Did the third prince really break off his engagement with Vivian just for her?
Alice suddenly felt lost and confused. She thought of the time she spent with the Third Prince. Those warm and sweet moments made her feel extremely happy. But she also knew clearly that there was a huge gap in status between her and the Third Prince. She was just a commoner girl, while the Third Prince was a noble royal child. Could such a relationship really last?
These thoughts kept circling in Alice's mind, making her feel inexplicably irritated and uneasy. She didn't know how to face the predicament before her, nor did she know what the future would be like for her and the third prince.
At this moment, the Third Prince was standing in front of the window of the palace, staring at the sky in the distance. His eyes were deep and firm, as if he was ready to face all challenges. He knew that his road would be full of hardships and obstacles, but he also believed that he would be able to make it to the end.
"Vivian, Alice, and the future of this country." The third prince said silently in his heart, "I will use my efforts to fight for everything I want. No matter what difficulties and challenges I face, I will not give up."
When the third prince appeared at the entrance of the magic academy, his eyes revealed an indescribable determination. His return caused quite a stir in the academy. Students stopped what they were doing and curiously watched this noble but confused prince.
The third prince was no stranger to such attention. He nodded slightly as a response to everyone, and then walked straight to his apartment.
At this moment, Alice also heard the news that the third prince had returned. She was delighted and immediately put down the book in her hand and hurried to the third prince's apartment.
This time the Third Prince left the academy to deal with the issue of his engagement with Vivian, and now that he is back, he will definitely bring a clear answer.
When Alice appeared breathlessly at the door of the Third Prince's apartment, the Third Prince just walked out of the house. When he saw Alice, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was soon replaced by tenderness.
"Alice, why are you here?" the third prince asked softly, his tone full of tenderness.
Alice looked up at the Third Prince, her eyes flashing with worry and expectation: "I heard you were back, so I rushed over immediately. Are you...are you okay?"
The third prince smiled and shook his head: "I'm fine, sorry to have made you worry."
Alice breathed a sigh of relief, and the worry on her face gradually faded. She looked at the third prince, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart: "When you came back this time, have you already settled the engagement with Vivian?"
The third prince nodded, his eyes became deep: "Yes, Vivian and I have broken off our engagement. I only love you now, Alice."
Hearing this, Alice's heart was deeply moved. She looked at the Third Prince with tears in her eyes: "Have you really done so much for me?"
"Yes," the Third Prince said softly, "I am willing to do anything for you."
Alice couldn't hold back any longer, tears rolled down her cheeks. She threw herself into the Third Prince's arms and hugged him tightly: "Thank you, I love you too, and only you."
The third prince embraced Alice, his heart was filled with satisfaction and happiness. He had paid a lot for this love, but now it seemed that everything was worth it.
The two hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to merge their love into each other's body. The world around them seemed to be still, leaving only the two of them and this pure love.
