The Saintess Is A Villainess

CHAPTER 23: IN DISBELIEF

"What?" The Crown Prince uttered, in shock as he didn't expect the answer coming from her mouth. Seeing that the Crown Prince's usual cold demeanour faltered as she let go of her words, a grin crept into her lips, enjoying how his pride cracked right in front of her.

"You want me to repeat it? Are you deaf? Alright then, since the country's beloved Crown Prince is deaf, I shall repeat it. I do not want to associate myself with you-"

Before she could even finish her words, the crown prince furiously stood up from his seat and growled at how obnoxious her words were, to the point that she was rejecting a royal decree that was passed on by the Emperor.

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW WOMEN WANTED ME?! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY WOMEN WANT TO COVET YOUR POSITION?! YOU'VE GOT SOME NERVE TO REJECT A MIRACLE! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!" He shouted at Felicia who was calm despite him intimidating her.

"Your Highness, you sure are talking as if you own the world. You're thinking of me as if I am a dog that will chase you for all eternity. You're a narrow-minded man who only thinks that everything is yours. Accept my rejection, Your Highness. I am not one of those women who's willing to chase you." She said, feeding herself with the refreshments in front of her.

Jeez, why react violently when all she said is that she loathes the idea of marrying him? That doesn't make any sense at all. Isn't he the first one to bring up the idea of annulling their marriage since he doesn't like her at all?

"Hah! I see why Alexander calls you a ludicrous woman after all. You're a foolish person, unreasonable and absurd. You're not even that beautiful! You're antagonising everyone in this manor. You're no better than Helena." The Crown Prince told her, chuckling as he still is in disbelief.

"Oh my, Your Highness thinks too highly of Helena. As expected of you." She said as she began to stand up, looking at him in the eyes without batting her eyelashes.

"Then why don't you beg and plea to annul our marriage? So that I will never see you again. You're making me sick after all." She said as she bowed her head and curtsied to him.

"May the blessings of the Goddess befall unto you, Your Highness." She said, stood up normally and left the room with a wide smirk as she saw how his face was exasperated by her straightforward remarks.

"WAIT!" The Crown Prince shouted as he began to approach her, grabbed her by the wrist and made her face him. His grip on her wrist was so tight that she couldn't help but hissed at him.

"What do you want, Your Highness?" She asked with a low voice, looking at him as if she was piercing him with knives all over his body. Seeing how her emotions changed from taunting to being cold, Constantine couldn't help but feel a bit scared of how fast she could change her emotions.

"Are you really sure that you want to annul this? Women beg to have your position! Reconsider your decisions in life, Felicia! With power, you can rule the world!" He said in a frantic mood.

"Why are you persuading me, your highness? You can persuade your "women" instead. I have no thoughts of becoming your woman after all. Or maybe, you can ask Helena. You've been calling out her name, didn't you?" She said, chortled.

"Are you that jealous of your sister for you to become like this? It's heresy! If anyone heard you, you'd be burned at a stake! That frank mouth of yours needs to know the limits! You need to limit yourself, Felicia!" He said as he pulled her even tighter which made their body clash with each other.

'But Felicia's been burnt already." Rachel thought to herself, talking about Felicia in the book. But now, she's Felicia so apparently what happened in the book won't happen to her.
