Chapter 1221 - 1221 1208 The Haughty Noble Girl

Chapter 1221: Chapter 1208: The Haughty Noble Girl Chapter 1221: Chapter 1208: The Haughty Noble Girl “Areina, don’t forget, you are a member of the Frankel Family. Born into this clan, including your father, no one can decide their own destiny. Everything is for the sake of the clan.”

Seeing the cousin with eyes ablaze with radiance, the woman, filled with immense envy, did not show a hint of it; instead, she revealed a tone of biting sarcasm.

“You want to decide everything for yourself? Look at your brother, proclaimed the most outstanding member of the family in a century, the Empire’s most dazzling Morning Star. Relying on his own capabilities, he acquired his own fief on the battlefield. But what of it? Even so, he still cannot decide his own marriage.”

“Sister Lucia will definitely marry my brother. You all cannot stop it.”

Hearing her useless cousin with a highly disordered private life mention her brother, the girl frowned instantly. The person she admired the most was her brother, who, of course, was also the only one in the family who truly cared for her.

“Haven’t you understood yet? Areina, the entire Frankel Family, no, the Imperial Nobility, apart from you, not a single person supports this marriage. The union of nobles and commoners, is something that has never happened in the Empire for a thousand years.”

With her flamboyant attire, even revealing the deep valley of her bosom, the young woman wore a mocking expression on her face.

“Then my brother and Sister Lucia will become the first case of a noble and a commoner uniting in the Empire, and nothing can stop them, whether you all are in favor or against it,” Areina said with conviction, believing in her brother’s abilities.

“It seems you still don’t understand, Areina. If your brother, despite everyone’s opposition, forcibly proceeds with the wedding with that lowly commoner, not a single noble will attend. Even your father won’t give his blessing because that would be a shame for our Frankel Family.”

Driven by envy, the woman revealed the harsh truth, “Do you know how embarrassed your brother will be then?

And once the wedding is successfully held, do you know how many nobles will become mortal enemies of your brother?”

The girl remained silent. She was all too aware of the pressure her brother currently faced, and that was precisely why she admired him even more, because even in opposition to the entire class of Imperial Nobility, her brother had never given up.

“Honestly, I really don’t understand what your brother is thinking. Of all the noble ladies in the Empire, with illustrious origins, perfect beauty, and noble bloodline, he didn’t fancy a single one of them. Instead, he has his eyes set on a countrywoman. Heh, are his eyes blind?”

Slap!

A hand, wrapped in a silvery-white knight’s glove, pressed against a delicate face and then forcefully smashed it into the nearby marble wall. Snow-white shattered stones flew, grazing a face twisted by anger and astonishment.

“Areina, how dare you, I am your sister, you actually dared to hit me.”

All of a sudden, the noble lady, caught by the face and smashed halfway into the wall by her cousin, was furiously enraged. She raised her palm, aiming to strike her cousin’s cheek to return the humiliation she just endured.

But before her palm could fall, her well-manicured hand was grasped and with a “click,” a crisp sound of breaking bones echoed.

The girl, whose strength had crushed her cousin’s hand bones, did not stop there. Her rage unabated, she lifted her leg and fiercely kicked her cousin in the soft abdomen.

Boom!

The high-ranked noblewoman, with her splendid noble dress, was sent flying. Her deliberately toned and slender figure bent into a V shape, and after flying across nearly a hundred meters of the corridor, she crashed into a statue and eventually embedded into the wall.

The commotion instantly disturbed the nobles in the banquet hall. Some nobles, following the noise, came upon the scene to see the noblewoman clumsily climbing out of the hole in the wall.

“Areina, you!”

The noble lady was extremely angry being seen in such an embarrassing state by so many nobles; she looked at her cousin, and if it weren’t for the presence of so many people, she would have already charged over.

Reason told her that she must now remain composed and retain her last bit of dignity.

“What, not willing to accept it? If you can’t accept it, let’s continue!” Even though she stirred up such a commotion, there wasn’t a trace of panic on the girl’s face, “I’ll beat you until you submit.”

“Miss Areina, although it seems to be a conflict within your clan, as the host here, I must remind you that this is not a battlefield. Please show some restraint,” a middle-aged noble with an exceptionally neat beard and hair and a genteel demeanor stepped forward and said with a smile.

“She maliciously provoked me, asking for a beating,” Areina still showed no sign of backing down, she didn’t think there was anything wrong with her actions just now at all.

This cousin, who was only related to her by blood, repeatedly humiliated her brother and her brother’s lover, indeed deserved a beating.

“Please do me the honor and let this be the end of it. What do you say?”

“Whatever, I was planning to leave anyway. This banquet is so boring, filled with bragging wastes; not a single one worth my attention,” the girl commented, and without caring how many nobles her words would offend, she left.

…

“The 32nd time, Areina. Since you turned 14, I have allowed you to choose on your own, but you have offended 57 nobles in a row, insulting them and causing them to sever ties with our Frankel Family, resulting in a great loss to the clan,” the man dealing with clan affairs said as he lifted his head from his desk and looked at the girl who was looking around aimlessly in front of his desk.

“My patience has its limits. You must find a noble that satisfies you before you turn 15, or else I will make the arrangements for you, and by then, you will have no right to refuse,” he said.

“Is this what you brought me here to say? Is the focus of today’s conversation that remark about causing the clan to suffer losses? Otherwise, would you have time to see me?”

“Watch your tone, I am your father.”

“Oh.”

“Answer my question, what kind of partner are you looking for? Do you want to do like your brother, find a commoner?”

“If that commoner is as outstanding as Sister Lucia, that wouldn’t be too bad,” the girl pondered before giving an answer that made her father tremble with anger.

“Can’t you just give me some peace of mind?”

“I can’t help it, I do want to find a partner, but those nobles I meet at banquets you send me to are just too disappointing; not one of them catches my eye,” she replied.
