Chapter 697
Charlotte’s demeanor made Caspian feel a little embarrassed, and he thought that he was a little petty
before.
Then, just when he thought about how to reply to Charlotte, he heard her voice again.
“Casper, have you thought about why I’ve chosen you?”
Caspian laughed.
“A little… Do you mind explaining it to me, Charlotte?”
As there were only the two of them behind the veil, they did not need to worry about being overheard
by others.
Hence, Caspian naturally addressed Charlotte as his junior.
Charlotte pursed her lips and smiled, showing an innocent yet playful look.
“Casper, this is the first time we meet, but it’ s not the first time I’ve heard of you.”
“You know about my performance in the nation’s official religion election?” Caspian blinked.
That would make sense if that were the case.
Caspian also understood that his performance in the nation’s official religion election could be
described as unbelievable.
Hence, it was normal for the princess to have heard of Caspian’s achievements and was curious.
However, Charlotte only shook her head and giggled, denying Caspian’s reply.
“Then, what could it be?” Caspian was puzzled.
Charlotte’s smile reached her eyes as she answered, “Specifically, it was yesterday.
One of my maids overheard that you have someone else in your heart, and you believe that I won’t
choose you.
When I heard that, I became curious, and I couldn’t help but remember your name.”
Caspian immediately understood that what he and Bowen said in the teahouse yesterday was heard by
Charlotte’s maid, reaching her in the end.
However, Caspian quickly frowned.
“You know that I have someone else I like, yet you still choose me publicly.
Are you doing this on purpose?” Thinking like that, Caspian’s good impression of Charlotte just now
disappeared, and his tone could not help but become colder.
When Charlotte sensed Caspian’s instant alienation from her, her face changed, and there was an
unexpected look of panic in her eyes, looking like a frightened deer.
The next second, Charlotte hurriedly shook her head, explaining, “Casper, please don’t take it the
wrong way.
That‘s not what I meant.”
Caspian only coldly glanced at her but said nothing.
Charlotte’s eyes became teary.
She bit her lip and clenched the tiny fists in her long sleeves tightly, appearing to be making some
difficult decision.
After a while, Charlotte took a deep breath in, and she seemed to have made up her mind.
Then, she raised her head, looking at Casper with bright eyes.
“Casper, I didn’t want to say this, but to avoid you from misunderstanding and hating me, I have to
admit this even if I have to be thick-skinned.”
After a pause, Charlotte continued, “Even though I’m supposed to choose a husband, my father and
the entire Earlington of Efrax placed the political significance far higher than my feelings.
Don’t you admit so?”
“That’s indeed the case.” Caspian nodded.
Caspian was very clear about the matter.
In fact, for cultivators, there was no essential difference between the so-called Earlington of Efrax and
Ucror.
As long as the royal family was stable in governing the region and could continuously provide talents to
the sect, they were an excellent royal family.
In other words, as long as the sect wanted to, they could always find a replacement to replace the royal
family of Earlington of Efrax.
However, with a princess who had the support of a Spiritual Master and also a marriage agreement
with a sect within the territory, the royal family’s position as the king of the area was undoubtedly much
more stable than the royal family of other places.
Charlotte added, “To be frank, I was very resistant when I heard about this.
For this reason, I even escaped from the imperial city and hid in the Spiritual Palace.
I didn’t come back until yesterday and decided to accept my parents’ arrangement.”
As Charlotte said that, she stared into Caspian’s eyes.
“And the reason for all this is you, Casper.”
Charlotte’s cheeks reddened at speed visible to the naked eye.
At first, her cheeks flushed, then the blush continued to spread.
After a while, even her earlobes turned pale pink.
Nevertheless, Charlotte was still staring at Caspian.
It was apparent that she was a little flustered, but she was also bashful and tried hard to gather her
courage.
Not knowing why, another figure who was stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat appeared in
Caspian’s heart when he saw Charlotte‘s effort to stand up straight.
However, Charlotte did not know what Caspian thought.
about, and she only felt her heart pounding faster.
“In this political marriage, the only right I have is that I can choose one of the four disciples by myself.
If that’s the case, why can’t I choose the one that caught my eyes?”
Charlotte felt as if she drained all her energy when she confessed that, and her legs got weak.
”The one that caught your eyes?” Caspian looked at Charlotte in confusion.
He did not expect that Charlotte would choose him for such a reason. It was a little bold and
straightforward, but it was also the most sincere and much more convincing than those arrogant
reasons.
“That’s right.
At first sight, I felt that you’re a person worth trusting and relying on.” Although her heart was beating
faster and faster, even making his head feel slightly dizzy, Charlotte still looked at Caspian.
Then, she continued earnestly, “Even though I’ve yet stepped foot on the pathway to immortality, I
understand that it’s a long journey.
No one can tell what changes will happen in the future.
Casper, you may feel that I’m abrupt or even unreasonable, but can you guarantee that there’ll be no
place where I can help in the future?”
Caspian did not answer Charlotte immediately but only looked at the stubborn little girl.
She was only fifteen years old, about three years younger than him.
Yet, she looked like a little girl unwilling to bow to her fate.
“Originally, my father was unwilling to let us meet immediately after choosing the candidate, but I
insisted.
Moreover, I requested such a separate setting to explain my thoughts to you as I feel it’s needed.”
Charlotte looked at Caspian, and she appeared very solemn.
“Casper, I can swear that I’ll not constrain your words and deeds in the future.
I can’t do it, and I’m not qualified to do it.
I know choosing you has brought you troubles, but I don’t regret it.
I just hope that you can understand.
This is the first time I have had a crush on someone of the opposite sex.
After tonight, I’m leaving Earlington of Efrax for Lunia, and I’m afraid we won’t see each other for many
years to come.
But in any case, I’ll repay you in the future for the problem this time.
However, before the end of the night, please don’t reject me and let me leave some good memories
before I leave.”
