His eyes were ablaze as he stared intensely at Alice.
His desire to possess her had reached its peak at that moment.
Alice soon noticed his eyes upon her, and it made her furrow brows ever so slightly at once. There was a tinge of disgust and sorrow in her eyes.
She was about to marry this man and alter the course of the rest of her life.
She sighed.
Despite her unwillingness, she had no choice but to accept her destiny!
Her kind could not help but wonder how things could have been different if Albert had been there.
She yearned for Larson to take her to the edge of the world and elope. She would not care even if she had to spend the rest of her life in poverty.
She knew that it was only an extravagant hope. As a Rheasian, Albert obviously did not have a high enough status to marry her.
No one in the world would offend the entire royal family, along with the rest of Yingland, for her.
She heaved a sigh once again.
Just as she fell into despair, her eyes lit up all of a sudden when she noticed a familiar silhouette that made her stop walking for just a brief moment.
Her breathing quickened and her expression was tainted with astonishment and excitement.
The silhouette belonged to Albert!
It was him! She was certain it was Albert!
She could not help quickening her pace in an attempt to walk toward him instinctively.
Soon, her unusual behavior drew the attention of Horton who was walking by her side. He furrowed his brows ever so slightly and said to Alice unpleasantly, “What are you doing, Alice? Get a hold of yourself.”
Alice felt her chest tighten upon hearing her father’s remark When she looked over one again, she could not see Albert’s silhouette anymore.
She could not help feeling dejected and heaved a sigh once again. Could it be that she was delusional because she missed Albert so much?
Soon afterward, she cracked a faint, bitter smile. Yes, she was certain that she had just imagined it.
Albert had moved to a different location after Alice noticed him so he would not be in her line of sight anymore.
He did not wish to interrupt the ceremony that night. Otherwise, he would offend the Queen unnecessarily.
Moreover, he and Alice were just acquaintances.
“Whoa, Ms. Alice is so beautiful! It’s no wonder she’s known as the most beautiful woman in Yingland. She is the perfect embodiment of an angel’s face and a devil’s figure!”
“Of course. Otherwise, how could she deserve to marry the honorable Prince William?”
“You’re right. Prince William is the most honorable young man in our country… I’m still so envious that Prince William gets to marry the lovely Ms. Alice…”
Many people complimented Alice on her beauty.
Meanwhile, Prince William was even prouder after hearing that.
‘Hmph, so what if you’re in love with the damned Rheasian? You’re still going to end up marrying me anyhow.”
