ARBE Chapter 2

Chapter 2

---

Although Kris had not explicitly broken off the engagement, she had clearly expressed this intention.

Their marriage was arranged by Kris’ great-grandfather on his deathbed. Back then, Kris had just been born and the protagonist’s family was still one of the most powerful mage families in the Olay Empire, with the protagonist's great-grandfather being the president of the Empire’s Mage Guild at that time.

However, the protagonist’s great-grandfather soon passed away after Kris’ great-grandfather’s passing.

The protagonist’s grandfather, a powerful mage, lost his life to a magic explosion in the laboratory.

The protagonist’s father—an honest and sincere man—however, did not inherit the outstanding talent in magic like his ancestors so he could only become an ordinary knight. Subsequently, under the suppression and division by the other three major families of the empire, the protagonist’s family underwent a rapid decline and became a third-rate noble. Although they still had some wealth and history, it was not enough to be a match for a princess.

Kris took advantage of this and proposed to annul their engagement. The protagonist’s father was seriously ill at that time, so when she successfully called off the engagement, it sent him into a fit of rage that ultimately took his life. This caused the protagonist to hate Kris; he felt disgusted by her, even.

If there’s anything that sounds illogical, please remember that "Other World Royal Odyssey" is a novel that flopped.

Behind every spoiled female character of a broken engagement trope story was an accomplice who would help her call it off with all their might.

Kris’ accomplice was her brother, her biological brother, the Empire’s only prince—Stuart.

Ding Sheng felt that the first thing he needed to do was to dissolve this "Engagement Breakup Alliance"; the first step to that was getting his brother to withdraw from it. So, he went to find Stuart in his elaborate court attire.

He shyly expressed the reason for his visit.

Stuart looked at Ding Sheng with a troubled expression, gazing at him with his melancholic grey eyes as he asked, all confused, "What’s wrong, Dear? You have to get out of this engagement; don’t forget that you’re a man.”
