After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

What would happen if Chris heard this?

Wouldn't you cry, make a scene, and even threaten to hang yourself to go with me, and then never come back?

Wouldn't that give Aize another headache?

He lowered his voice and said:

"Got it, I'll go, but don't let the one inside know!"

Chapter 41 People's joys and sorrows are not the same, and neither is their IQ

Aize thought that if he could persuade Heidi to leave, he would have a few days of peace.

Unexpectedly, this was just the beginning.

"Aize, Viscount Edgar told me about some beautiful places. Now is the season when flowers bloom. Do you want to go and see them together?"

"Aize, I found a nice cafe. You've been working too hard lately. Do you want to go have afternoon tea together?"

"Aize, a local antique dealer seems to have collected a lot of interesting items. He invited me to visit and said he would give me a few as gifts. Would you like to come with him?"

……

For two days, Heidi kept coming to the house with various excuses, just to ask Aize out, and she even came several times a day from morning to night.

Aize had nothing else to do all day long but just reject Heidi.

If I count again, it’s even more than the number of times he has asked me out in the past two years combined.

It's so deliberate that it's almost as if his intentions are written all over his face.

Even so, he still had to act hard with a flattering face. I don’t know if Heidi was embarrassed or not, but Aize was quite embarrassed.

On the evening of the third day, Heidi came to the door again and handed the invitation to Aize.

"The Tafia Chamber of Commerce is organizing a banquet tonight and has sent me an invitation. But it's not very nice for a lady to attend alone. Can you come with me?"

"..."

Aize's face twitched, his patience almost exhausted:

"Heidi, I've told you many times that I'm not going. I'm not going anywhere these days."

"Is it because of Viscount Edgar's request? That's fine, Viscount Edgar himself will be attending tonight, along with many other distinguished guests. It's going to be a grand affair, no less grand than the banquets of the past few days."

“…No, I won’t go no matter what.”

For Heidi, a grand banquet is a plus, meaning more attention and flattery.

But for Aize, the situation was completely the opposite.

A grand banquet attended by nobles is enough to trigger PTSD for Aize.

The result of saying this was that Aize's face became even uglier than before, and his mood was even worse.

In two years, Heidi didn't even know what Aize liked or disliked - it would be strange if she knew, because apart from treating him as a useful tool, Heidi herself had never really tried to understand Aize.

Being rejected again, Heidi became angry.

The first day's contact made her believe that Aize still had feelings for her and could still be controlled, so she was full of confidence in the future development.

As a result, after a few days, no matter how attentive he was, Aize remained unmoved.

Originally, this was not a problem.

As the saying goes, good things take time. Heidi is still confident about her plan, but the current situation does not allow her to delay any further.

Most of the week that Leah gave herself has passed. If there is no result by then, who knows how that crazy woman will take her out on herself.

On the other hand, because his attempts to lure the tiger away from the mountain had not been successful, Roderick became more and more impatient. Worried about his life, he even ordered his men to take forceful action several times. Fortunately, Heidi discovered and stopped them.

There is no time.

Heidi didn't understand what this guy Aize was doing or what he was thinking.

Since he likes me and values me, shouldn't he just come over here without hesitation at my request? What on earth is he trying to do by making all these excuses?

It's really shameless.

Or was it that I was just giving him too much face?

Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you are my fiancé?

That's 100% the case!

Annoyed, Heidi slammed the table and said:

"Aize, don't go too far!!! I invited you out of respect! What's your reason for being so reluctant? Is it just because of your engagement to me?!"

The next second after Heidi blurted out the angry words, she realized her loss of composure and froze there.

How could you say what was in your heart?!

But it was impossible to swallow what she had said, so she could only quickly change her expression and apologize:

"I'm sorry, I... I said too much - you haven't been around for the past few days, and my mind has been a little abnormal..."

While apologizing, he also shifted the blame, saying that the princess would never take the blame.

Heidi pretended to feel guilty and sat back in her seat, curled up in a ball, and secretly observed Aize's reaction out of the corner of her eye.

Unexpectedly, Aize was not angry or sad. He just sighed helplessly and shook his head.

This took Heidi by surprise.

What I said was a bit harsh, but since Aize still liked me and valued me, how could he not react at all after hearing this?

Before Heidi could react, Aize, having made up his mind, said calmly:

"Heidi... No, Your Highness, if that's what you really want, then it's easy. Just cancel our engagement."

It is really a luxury to expect Heidi to realize it herself.

Realizing this, Aize didn't plan to continue dragging the issue. Seeing the opportunity for her to reveal the truth, he directly blurted out the truth.

As for Heidi, her brain completely froze at this moment.

For a full minute after Aize finished speaking, she just opened her mouth and stared, unable to utter a word.

Even his mind was blank, without a single thought or emotion.

By the time she finally understood what had happened, he had already collapsed in his seat, his voice so weak that it seemed as if he would die at any moment, as thin as a thread:

“…What did you say?”

"I say, cancel the engagement."

"Our engagement?"

"if not?"

There was another long silence, and then—

"...No, it's impossible. You, you can't say that. Impossible... You can't..."

The unexpected development made Heidi completely panic.

His eyes were blank and his lips were pale. He just kept talking to himself as if he was trying to brainwash and hypnotize himself.

Then, he suddenly raised his head, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, a gleam in his eyes, and his helpless mood instantly turned into anger.

"This... this isn't true. You're just saying this out of anger, right? You're mad at what I just said, so you're deliberately saying this to piss me off, right?"

"I'm serious..."

"No, you're not—"

Heidi screamed hysterically, staggered to her feet, pointed at Aize and yelled:

"I know, I know everything!!! You are mad at me, you are deliberately mad at me... Yes, you are not really going to cancel the engagement, you are just mad at me!!!"

At this moment, I can’t remember any of the routines and calculations I used to do in my daily life. All that’s left is a simple emotional release.

Heidi knew with her remaining sanity that she was making things worse and worse, but from the inside out and from top to bottom, she had lost control at this moment.

In contrast to Heidi's excitement, Aize just shook his head calmly.

It was not known whether the stimulation of the situation was too strong, or whether some self-protection mechanism in Her Royal Highness's brain kicked in, but she calmed down instead.

That’s right, how could Aize really leave me?

Even if he really left me, he had liked me for two years after all. How could he be so calm when he left?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!!!

So there is only one answer.

This is acting, this is a stunt, this is a trap that Aize sets for himself in order to gain an advantage!

With this thought in mind, Heidi's mood quickly recovered.

And Aize, who was sitting opposite her, covered his face deeply.

Chapter 42: I don't understand, but I'm shocked

Ever since Heidi first came to harass him three days ago and even became more aggressive, Aize has been considering a showdown.

He had anticipated many situations. Whether Heidi was angry, autistic, or even rushed up to kill him, he was prepared to deal with it.

However, things went far beyond expectations.

After a period of madness, Aize watched Heidi quickly return to normal, and even became inexplicably excited. His eyes almost popped out.

I couldn't understand it, but I was shocked.

At this moment, Heidi was 100% sure that Aize was playing hard to get.

While feeling ashamed of her recent misconduct, she even gathered her strength again and decided to fight Aize.

"You said you want to cancel the engagement? But Aize, royal engagements are very serious and can't be canceled just like that."

Indeed, according to general rules, such a marriage requires both parties to be of equal social status, and must be seriously discussed by their parents and certified by the church.

But the problem is, Heidi’s parents and even her older brothers and sisters have already sent everything?

I just casually ordered it then, and now it's just a matter of a word between me and Heidi, right?

While Aize was still confused, Heidi suppressed the corners of her mouth that kept rising, pretended to be sad, and then said:

"And Aize, why did you cancel the engagement? It's not really because of what I said in anger, right?"

"No, that's..."

"That was really just anger! I've already apologized. If you're not satisfied, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I can keep apologizing until you're satisfied. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"

Heidi's calculations were working at high speed at this moment.

Now that we've confirmed that Aize is faking a breakup, and that it was just a small matter, then it's easy to deal with. Let's arrange the moral kidnapping!

You, Aize, can disregard two years of relationship because of one sentence, but I can let go of the past grudges and not care about right or wrong. As long as you can stay, anything is fine.

Isn't it obvious who is higher and who is lower?

Although this may seem a bit licking, it doesn't matter since there is no one else around anyway.

I'll get back at you later.

With this thought in mind, Heidi squeezed out a few tears, raised her head slightly, and tried her best to look aggrieved and pitiful.

said:

"So, please forgive me, okay? I won't say such angry words again. I... I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

"..."

The acting is good, but unfortunately Aize is speechless now.

After two years of being together, this was the first time he couldn't understand what Heidi was thinking.

Crazy?

Is this crazy?

No, no, no, even if he was crazy, he wouldn't react like this after the hysteria just now, right?
