Chapter 011 ( Reject My Arranged Marriage )

Monna did not know whether to say that her feelings now only felt ordinary when she saw the crown prince, that was would offend Her Majesty and the Crown Prince or not. But definitely, not saying it was the best choice for her at the moment.

With a smile, Cattarina responded to the Emperor's words in silence.

Meanwhile, the Crown Prince, Belhart Dominic, who from the beginning did not say much but still watched, began to pick up on the slight oddity of Cattarina's unusual attitude.

The daughter of Bourston, whom he had known all along, would always chat at length and breadth to him and about him, regardless of circumstances.

However, the woman who was in front of him now looked a little different.

If it was the Cattarina he knew, that woman would have greeted him very cheerfully and embraced him with love and affection as she usually does when they are together.

But what happened today left Belhart a little confused. Cattarina appeared very different from what he had imagined.

Whereas at first, when he learned that his father would invite the woman to come to the palace to just eat together, Belhart had wanted to refuse it. He was afraid that Cattarina would overreact to him and make him feel bored.

But what did he just seen? Cattarina appeared with her graceful and calm demeanor without anything flashy, apart from her appearance of course.

Could it be that over time, someone changed?

If he remembered again, they had not seen each other for about three years. Was it because of that, a person's attitude, behavior, and also actions could change so drastically?

And what was strange was no there one who realized it apart from him. Or maybe it was just his feeling?

"Our daughter Catty, of course, was very pleased to hear that His Majesty the Crown Prince was finally able to return home and succeed safely. Even since one week ago, Catty has been very enthusiastic and eager to welcome the Crown Prince back in all kinds of ways. We are even happy to see it," said Mrs. Shcoutz with a happy smile.

Belhart doubts that.

And Monna could only shout to herself.

'Mother, please don't make up stories that are too loose! Your imagination is too wild! It just doesn't match reality at all !! Should I, revise it?' Monna squealed to herself.

Only the Emperor laughed in response to Mrs. Adorable Shcoutz.

"Then, should we discuss something more serious about the relationship between our two sons and daughters in the future?" Emperor Dominic's words were to the point.

Monna's head stiffened.

This is the moment. Time for her to carry out her mission.

Since the beginning, Monna knew, this meal together was actually intended to discuss the matter of marriage between herself and the Crown Prince in the future.

And if based on the original storyline, the conversation will end with a decision on exactly when the wedding date will take place. It will be no less than two months from now !!

Thinking about that, Monna hurriedly made an argument to prevent that before it was too late.

"Your Majesty, without compromising respect and courtesy, there are some important things I wish to convey to everyone," Relying on all her courage, Monna released her first sentence politely.

She took a deep breath.

And everyone spontaneously stared at her.

"Say it," exclaimed Emperor Dominic on behalf of all of them.

"I'm Cattarina Bourston. Hereby declare that I wish to cancel my engagement with His Majesty the Crown Prince, Belhart Dominic," said Cattarina with great confidence.

Makes everyone shocked and excited.

"What? What did you just say?" Emperor Dominic looked at Cattarina in disbelief.

The question clearly represented everyone who had also heard it. Neither of them believed what Cattarina said just now. And it made Cattarina forced to repeat it.

"I'm Cattarina Bourston, reject my arranged marriage with great confidence and awareness. I hope everyone can understand my decision this time," said Monna once again making everyone dumbfounded and could not stop thinking.

"Catty, what the hell happened? Why do you suddenly want to cancel the engagement? Haven't you been eager to marry His Majesty the Crown Prince?" Mr. Shcoutz asked in confusion.

During all this time, he and his wife knew that their daughter, Cattarina, loved and adored Crown Prince Belhart more than anything else. Even before, Cattarina had agreed to this marriage with the Crown Prince once he returned.

So, what just happened? Catty canceled this match so sure and fully aware??

"Catty, don't make a joke around in a situation like this!? Haven't you agreed before? Why did it suddenly change?" Mrs. Shcoutz joined her doubts.

And it was only natural because so far everyone knew how Cattarina felt about the Crown Prince.

"No, Mother. I'm not kidding. I'm serious about what I say. I really don't want to marry His Highness the Crown Prince again. I changed my mind," said Monna once again very, very seriously.

It made the Crown Prince, who had been just being calm, began to knit his eyebrows a little, feeling something unnatural.

"Tell me what is the reason? If that reason is not logical. I don't think I can agree with it." Emperor Dominic stared at Cattarina closely.

Maybe right now he should be angry with Cattarina because that girl had just tarnished the emperor's surname because of her refusal. But seeing the unusual seriousness of Princess Shcoutz, Emperor Dominic began to want to find out.

"I feel unworthy of him," said Monna casually.

"What?" Emperor Dominic was shocked.

"Your Majesty, as we all have been known, His Majesty the Crown Prince is a very great and perfect man. I was just felt less fit in. I am sure that out there, there are many women or maybe princesses of the nobility who are superior and match with the Crown Prince, compared to me. Please reconsider it," said Monna this time, making her father, Mr. Shcoutz, feel unhappy.

He looked at his daughter angrily. Because he didn't understand what his daughter was thinking.
