The Bride Of Immortal Crown Prince
Chapter 220: There is a Chance

Chapter 220: There is a Chance

"Korina, are you sure the Crown Prince will appear tonight?" Gwen was worried that Crown Prince Eleon wouldn’t come as usual; Usually, Crown Prince Eleon didn’t show up if there was a party in the palace. He just stayed in a closed room with his friends and didn’t mingle with any other guests.

"Gwen, Crown Prince Eleon will definitely show up! According to my sources... tonight he will open the party with the first dance. And the most interesting thing is; he will choose a woman to dance with. It is said that the woman he chooses will be a candidate as the woman who will be engaged to him...." Korina chuckled when she saw Gwen’s eyes beaming.

"My friend, Gwen. Forget whatever you think you want to do tonight." Korina places her hand to cover her mouth and laughs at Gwen before she continues her words, "His Highness will never notice you. Not even a glance."

"Korina! Don’t make fun of Gwen like that... She also has a chance. No one knows who his highness will choose." Amber felt sorry for Gwen because Korina’s words were so rude. She could see in Gwen’s eyes that she was angry.

"Amber looks like you don’t know anything!" Korina stopped laughing, but they could tell that she was still mocking Gwen from her voice.

Amber was speechless, looking at childish Korina. She shifted her gaze elsewhere, ignoring Korina. Although she saw Gwen as a rival, she didn’t have the heart to say it in front of her. How could Korina be able to say such vicious words to Gwen? Doesn’t she know the consequences if Gwen reports to her parents?

Gwen’s heart almost exploded when she heard Korina’s hurt words. How could she humiliate her in front of Amber and others around? She can listen to a few mocking laughs because of Korina’s words. Bloody hell!

She wanted to reply to Korina with more hurtful words, but she held herself and tried to calm her burning heart. She couldn’t show her anger now, or her most extensive plan would be exposed. She will punish this lowly Korina later.

Gwen could only smile at Amber, who defended her.

Looking at Gwen, who just kept silent while smiling, made Korina even more eager to provoke Gwen to annoy her.

"Gwen, I’m just kidding! You’re not angry, are you?" Korina gave her fake smile at Gwen, who looked back at her with an awkward smile.

Then Korina’s eyes fell on the black dress that Gwen was wearing.

This stupid Gwen! How could she wear a black dress at a party like this? Did she think she came to a funeral? Korina mocked Gwen in her heart while she turned her gaze elsewhere. She doesn’t want to pay attention to Gwen anymore. Actually, she wants to be friends with Gwen, just because her family is the number seventh wealthiest and most powerful family in the Empire. She has no choice; she must use Gwen to go higher in this Empire.

"Look! That’s Lord Xavier Moon, right?" Amber cried out in surprise when she saw Xavier enter the hall. "Gosh...Lord Daren Gilwynn also came." Amber was excited to see Crown Prince Eleon’s friends appear in the dance hall one by one. Her eyes searched around, hoping she could see the man she had been dying to see.

"I told you! Crown Prince Eleon must come. Now, his best friend has already arrived. It’s just a matter of time for His Highness to appear. Girls, let’s go over there...." Korina was excited. She pulls Amber to the lounge area. In that area, there are still a lot of empty sofas to sit on. She hopes crown Prince friends will sit in that area too.

Gwen follows Korina and Amber from behind while her mind tries to hear everyone’s thoughts. She wondered if anything was interesting she could listen to. Then, She was stunned when looking not too far from their place. Standing gracefully, a tall, slender woman. She wears a pale pink gown, with black hair flowing down on her back. Gwen can hear her thoughts. The girls were the same with them. She was also curious about whether the Crown Prince would come or not.

"Looks... that’s Freya Oridi!" Korina whispers to Amber as her eyes stare intently at the girl with a pale pink gown. "I thought she would not come. Because I heard she was busy in Eastwood City...."

"She will definitely come. What’s more she is the number one candidate among us. Did you forget she is the same age as Crown Prince Eleon? And she is studying in the same year as the Crown Prince...." Amber glanced at Korina, who was still looking at Freya.

"Freya is indeed beautiful!" Korina agreed with what Amber said. She still has hopes to be a female companion of the Crown Prince because, until today, she never hears him having a close female friend, only Faith Miatris. And as she knew, Faith was only Crown Prince Eleon’s assistant. They couldn’t be together because they are close kin.

Korina looks at Amber before she continues her words, "Amber, as far I know, Prince Eleon never gives Freya a glance. They were never seen walking together...." Korina explained to Amber and at the same time calmed her jealous heart to Freya. Because Freya knew Crown Prince Eleon and his close friends. While she? She didn’t even have access just to talk to his guards.

After feeling a little bit better, Korina brought her head closer to Gwen before saying, "Gwen, that’s why I said to you earlier... you have no hope. Even we who are beautiful like this have to compete with Freya Miatris, the goddess in this Empire." She whispered softly, but Amber could hear her words clearly. Amber immediately pulled Korina away from Gwen.

"Korina! Stop messing with Gwen... She is our friend!" Amber can’t stand looking at Korina who mock Gwen.

Amber feels Korina has been getting more and more annoying lately. Make her even more hesitant to play with her.

"It’s ok, Amber. Korina has a point!" Gwen sends her beautiful smile at Amber, who has defended her. "I realised... I had no chance of becoming a candidate...." Then Gwen looks at Korina, "You don’t have to worry, Korina! I never even dreamed of being the Crown Prince’s consort...don’t mind me."

Gwen comforted Korina, who was looking at her suspiciously. Then she took a cake from a waiter and ate it gracefully, ignoring a scornful smile from Korina, while in her heart, she cursed Korina a thousand times.

"That’s fantastic, Gwen... You know yourself!" Korina ruffled the top of Gwen’s hair and pulled her to sit on the sofa not far from where they were standing. From that place, they could see clearly in various corners of the hall, including a mini stage not far from the orchestra.

At the same time, in one corner of the hall...

Lizzy looked amazed by the grandeur of this party. This is the first time she can come to a party arranged by Her Majesty. Usually, she only went to the dances held by her mother’s hotel in Sarlun Island.

Ever since entering this banquet hall, she could only marvel at its grandeur. What’s more, she saw some public figures that she usually saw on television. And also, many noble ladies and gentlemen look so elegant and handsome walking in front of her.

"H-Helan... are you sure you were invited to this party?" Lizzy pulled a Helan shirt, standing beside her, enjoying his wine. Helan glanced at Lizzy. He can see from Lizzy’s eyes there’s a doubt in there. Lizzy’s nervous and doubtful face makes him chuckle...

"Well, it wasn’t actually me who was invited, but my father. Because my father can’t come to the capital to attend this party, he asked me to represent him. So, I come... and I invite you to accompany me." Helan smiles at Lizzy, who now turns her gaze to the hall again.

Helan continues his words, "Liz! Stop being mesmerised like that... Go take a cake or wine, enjoy the party." He dragged Lizzy to the buffet table neatly arranged various cakes, fresh fruit, and beverages. Their mouths are watering just looking at how beautiful the food plating is.

Seeing all this treasure food, Lizzy couldn’t help but want to try a variety of cakes she had rarely seen.

Without waiting for Helan’s orders, she immediately took a chocolate cake with gold sprinkles on it. She was curious about the cake. While eating the cake, her eyes swept the entire hall to see if there might be a public figure or Crown Prince Eleon.

"Helan, why hasn’t the Crown prince appeared yet? Will he come to this party as well?" Lizzy seemed to be looking for the figure of the Crown Prince. All this time, she was very curious to see how he looked.

Back on Sarlun, they often discussed Prince Eleon’s appearance. And tonight, she had a chance to see it in person. This thrilled her.
