Chapter: 3579

Helena had to explain, "Uncle, please don't say that. The Ye family has good intentions too. As the future daughter-in-law of the Ye family, I feel that if you let me come back alone, it would be somewhat impolite.'"

Richard spoke casually, "To be honest, I'm not very supportive of your marriage to someone from the Chinese world. Our royal family has never had a cross-cultural marriage with anyone outside of Europe. Given the respect and protection for our royal bloodline, I think you should reconsider marrying into the Chinese world and find a suitable young man in Europe instead."

Saying that, he glanced at Mr. Armanovich and casually added: "In my opinion, young men like Mr. Armanovich in Europe are not inferior to anyone from the Ye family!"

Helena looked worried and said: "Uncle... we've already made a marriage arrangement, how can I just change it... If the news gets out, people will say our royal family lacks credibility..."

Richard didn't care and said: "The Ye family has such big things happening, changing the engagement is also reasonable."

Helena hurriedly said: "But I don't want to explain this to the Ye family..."

Richard shrugged and nonchalantly said: "What's there not to explain? The person from the Ye family is here, let him come over and I'll talk to him personally!"

As soon as Richard finished speaking, Ye Chen walked into the banquet hall, smiling and asked: "I'm here, who wants to chat with me?"

Seeing Ye Chen with his yellow skin and black eyes walk in, Richard may not have seen Ye Chen before but immediately guessed that he was a person from the Ye family. He therefore said with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes: "This gentleman must be from the Ye family?"

"Yes." Ye Chen nodded slightly, smiled and asked: "I just walked in and heard something general. Are you here to discuss some matters with me?"

Olivia spoke up immediately: "Ye Chen, this prince is my father, Prince Richard of North Europe!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly, smiled and asked: "Prince Richard doesn't know what to teach?"

Richard adjusted his tie knot, looked haughty and said: "When we negotiated a marriage agreement with the Ye family, we didn't expect that you would have some connection with the Wanjia Temple, a mercenary organization. As for our North European royal court, we always maintain our purity and never associate with such grey organizations. Therefore, in order to uphold the dignity of our royal court, we naturally cannot continue with the marriage agreement and hope you will take my words back to your family head when you leave."

He glanced at Helena and added: "As for Helena, since she has already returned, this time I will directly stay in the palace and not return with you to China."

Ye Chen laughed: "Prince Richard, you are just seeing our Ye family lose power, so you want to unilaterally cancel the marriage! If that's the case, why bother going around in circles and dragging the Wanjia Temple into it?"

As he spoke, Ye Chen's expression was playful and teasing: "If the Wanjia Temple finds out you're using them as a reason to break off the engagement, they might get angry with you and want to kill you. When that happens, how will you handle it?"

Richard's expression suddenly changed, and his heart was also in turmoil.

He originally wanted to find an excuse to cancel the marriage with the Ye family, but if he directly said that our royal court doesn't want to play with your family now that you're losing power, everyone would see through it as a case of our royal court being unreliable and changing their words frequently. So, he could only attribute the reason to principle.

The most reasonable explanation was to rely on the principle of maintaining purity in the palace, Ye family has compromised with Wanjia Temple, which means Ye family has had dealings with Wanjia Temple, and our royal court doesn't want to get tainted by it, so we're breaking off the marriage. This is indeed very reasonable.

However, Richard couldn't think that Ye Chen was capable of stirring up trouble like this.

As soon as he said that, he immediately took it for granted that he was using Wanjia Temple as a shield, and then directly pulled out Wanjia Temple to threaten, which suddenly left Richard in disarray.

Although he appeared arrogant beyond compare as the royal prince, he would indeed be scared to death if facing Wanjia Temple.

So he hastily waved his hand and said, "I didn't mean that! Don't talk nonsense!"

Ye Chen laughed and said, "What am I talking nonsense about? Just now you were saying those words yourself, and many people are listening. Am I wrong?"

As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "Don't worry, I'll definitely bring your words to Wanpu Jun without alteration, and as for whether you intentionally stepped on them, let them judge themselves." JrNovels.com
