Free Web NovelChapter 204: Chapter 185: The Night is Long, Let’s Play Slowly
At that moment...
On the second floor of the wedding banquet hall.
Belina, who had been having a private chat with Louisa and congratulating her on welcoming her first Beast Husband, learned of the news.
The color instantly drained from her face.
"Is Qi Jingshen insane?"
"Why would he do this!"
"Weren’t we good enough to him?"
In recent days...
With his and Louisa’s wedding just around the corner, Belina wanted to support Louisa by building up Qi Jingshen as quickly as possible so he could surpass Huo Zhanting’s First Legion.
She had given him whatever he asked for, be it money or supplies.
After all, the stronger the male’s power, the more Louisa would ultimately benefit.
Besides, everything she had would eventually be passed down to Louisa anyway.
With that in mind, the resources Qi Jingshen had received in the few short days of wedding preparations had exceeded the total sum of all supplies the Second Legion had received since its founding.
But now...
He just rebelled, just like that!
And he had even brazenly kidnapped Yu Lan.
This was something no one had ever expected.
Uncertain what thought had struck her, Louisa’s expression suddenly changed, and she hurriedly grabbed Belina’s hand.
"Mother, I let my guard down around Qi Jingshen during this time. He saw a lot of things."
"Do you think he’ll..."
The more Louisa spoke, the paler she became.
The sudden terrible news even caused Belina to sway on her feet.
Forcing herself to remain calm, she said:
"He won’t. He won’t."
"He’s a smart man. He wouldn’t do that."
’But would a smart man just openly rebel?’
’All Qi Jingshen had to do was marry Louisa, and he would have held a position second to only one person and above all others.’
’It would have been so much better than rebelling, being hunted by the Empire’s forces, and living as a fugitive.’
’That madman, that lunatic!!!’
The hearts of both Belina and Louisa sank.
「At the same time」
News that Qi Jingshen had led the Second Legion in defecting from the Empire exploded across the Star Network at lightning speed.
Almost everyone who saw it was stunned; some even thought it was April Fools’ Day.
[??? What’s going on? Is this some new kind of prank?]
[If I’m not mistaken, isn’t today Qi Jingshen and Princess Louisa’s wedding? He was about to marry into the Royal Family. What’s he trying to gain by doing this!]
It was the kind of news that, even if released officially, no one would dare to believe.
It was simply absurd.
Until someone uploaded a picture.
[Image.jpg]
[The picture proves it. I just saw this at the Star Port. The Second Legion’s Starships just took off directly. The entire legion is moving—it’s organized and planned. This must have been in the works for a long time.]
If that were the case, it only made things even more confusing.
It just left everyone’s heads spinning.
[Wait, he really rebelled?!? Just like that?!!]
[No, but why!]
[This is just baffling!]
[Poor Princess Louisa. I heard that to show how much she valued Marshal Qi, she gave the Second Legion a ton of resources and equipment. Who would’ve thought Marshal Qi would just happily take all that stuff and run.]
[I just hope Princess Louisa isn’t too traumatized by this.]
[Compared to her, I’m more worried about Princess Yu Lan right now. I heard that before Qi Jingshen fled, he had someone trick Princess Yu Lan into going out so he could kidnap her. Now Marshal Huo and his people have all gone crazy and are desperately sending people to hunt Qi Jingshen down.]
[Huh? Huh? Huh? So the poster above is saying that even while escaping, Qi Jingshen didn’t forget to trick Princess Yu Lan and take her with him? Fam, I have a theory...]
[I have a theory too...]
A forbidden royal romance: the young, handsome, and promising Marshal of the Second Legion falls in love at first sight with the beautiful and radiant Princess Yu Lan, and begs the Queen for her hand in marriage.
But unexpectedly, the Queen misunderstands him and betroths him to Princess Louisa instead.
Poof! Your future husband is now your brother-in-law.
He then has to watch as the beautiful young female he loves but cannot have is all lovey-dovey with her own Beast Husbands every day.
In a fit of anger, he just ups and rebels.
He forcibly snatches Princess Yu Lan away to live a sweet, happy life on the run.
It all makes perfect sense, fam!
Otherwise, there’s no way to understand why Qi Jingshen would take Yu Lan.
Just as everyone was arguing heatedly about the matter...
An even more terrifying piece of news began to circulate widely on the Star Network.
#TheRoyalFamily’sSecretsExposed#
[Why did the males who took the Hope Potion go berserk?]
[Is Princess Louisa really not involved in this?]
[A complete list of the frame-ups and assassination attempts Princess Louisa has carried out against Princess Yu Lan in her bid for the throne!]
