1523 You Have No Right to Reject

Chu Nan was stunned again.

“What do you mean?”

“Do you think the Elder Council will definitely acquit you if you successfully pass the test? This can at most prove that you might have used this method to master a portion of the Exterminating Heart Technique and not secretly learn it from Pamela. However… this is only a possibility.”

“In other words, even if I pass the test, the Elder Council will still think that I might have secretly learned the Exterminating Heart Technique from Princess Pamela and might still convict me?” Chu Nan asked.

“That’s right.” Prince Lekas’s expression was serious, “I’m warning you to give up on your unrealistic fantasies. The Exterminating Heart Technique is extremely important to our Declan royal family. As long as there’s any possibility of it being leaked, the Elder Council will think of all ways to completely eliminate this possibility. You have no way to make the Elder Council believe that you’re completely innocent, so don’t naively think that they’ll easily pardon you. If you want to survive, the only possibility is to admit your engagement to Viennelle. Only when you become a member of our Declan royal family will the crime of secretly learning the Exterminating Heart Technique not be established. Do you understand?”

Chu Nan frowned, “Do you want to say that everything I do is meaningless?”

“It’s not meaningless.” Prince Lekas shook his head, “If you can pass the test and let the Elder Council reduce their suspicion of you, at the very least, they won’t be wary of you at all times in the future. Most importantly, this test has already obtained the attention of the entire royal family. If you can perform well in the test, it will be easier for our clansmen to accept you marrying Viennelle and accepting you to join our entire large family. It will be very helpful for you to integrate into the family in the future. Remember, although our Declan royal family has hundreds or thousands of rules, there’s only one thing that’s really useful, and that’s strength. If you’re strong enough, you can obtain the respect of everyone. Do you understand what I mean?”

Chu Nan silently looked at Prince Lekas for a while before suddenly asking, “Your Highness, you seem to be certain that I’ll marry Princess Viennelle?”

“What? You’re still not giving up?” Prince Lekas’s expression sank again, “I’ve already said that if you’re unwilling to marry Viennelle, waiting for you will be a direct execution. Could it be that you think you have the ability to escape under such tight surveillance? Don’t be wishful thinking. I know your ability, but I want to tell you that there are three Star-Grade Martial Artists in charge of guarding you at any time. Moreover, even if you escape, you’ll face the endless pursuit of the Elder Council in the future. Although the Milky Way is very large, there’s definitely no place for you.”

Chu Nan immediately smiled bitterly.

Of course, he knew that what Prince Lekas said was the truth.

Although through these few days of cultivation, he had a deeper understanding of building a teleportation door through the spatial energy in his body and was already confident that he could open the teleportation door out of thin air and enter the alternate space to escape, he would naturally face an extremely intense pursuit. Not to mention returning to his normal life, he would not even have any stable days.

Such an outcome was naturally not what he wanted.

“Chu Nan, you disappoint me.” Looking at the silent and bitter Chu Nan, Prince Lekas suddenly sighed and shook his head.

“Hmm?” Chu Nan was stunned.

Disappoint Prince Lekas? What was he disappointed about?

“I originally thought that you were a responsible, trustworthy, and outstanding man, but your current performance disappoints me. When you were considering what to do, didn’t you realize that you had forgotten to consider someone from the beginning to the end?”

Chu Nan frowned in confusion, “Who?”

Prince Lekas sighed again. He suddenly raised his head and shouted into the corner of the room, “Let go of the signal shield for the time being. I want to show this kid something.”

A moment later, a voice sounded.

“Your Highness, the signal shield has been released. You can use it as you please.”

Prince Lekas nodded before opening the personal terminal on his wrist. He pulled out the virtual screen and opened the interface that President Anduin had seen.

“Let’s see.”

Chu Nan looked at the virtual screen adjusted by Prince Lekas in confusion and quickly discovered that it was the largest video website on the Milky Way Network. When he saw the situation that happened in the trial hall completely displayed in this video, he could not help but turn to look at Prince Lekas in surprise.

What happened in that trial hall was clearly only a trial in the Declan royal family. Logically speaking, it was impossible for it to be leaked. However, now that it was posted on this largest website, wouldn’t anyone be able to see it?

From the number of viewers indicated behind this video, the number of people who had seen this video already exceeded 10 billion!

“This…”

“Continue watching.” Prince Lekas interrupted Chu Nan and made a slight adjustment to show the comments related to the video.

With this video so popular, the number of comments was naturally even more shocking. It was naturally impossible to watch them all. Prince Lekas only chose the comments that received the most likes and replies.

Chu Nan roughly glanced at it and discovered that these comments were mainly focused on a few points.

First: Did Chu Nan secretly learn the Exterminating Heart Technique?

Second: Was Chu Nan’s engagement with Princess Viennelle true?

Third: Did Chu Nan really have the ability to learn the other party’s cultivation method through battle?

Discussions about these three problems were varied and varied. Among them, there were countless conspiracy theories, indicating that everyone was extremely concerned about these problems.

Chu Nan did not care what those comments were saying. He only frowned slightly when he saw one of the comments with the same number of replies.

The theme of this comment was, “Will Chu Nan really marry Princess Viennelle?”

In this long comment, the commentator listed a pile of personal information he knew about Chu Nan and Princess Viennelle. Then, he concluded that it was very difficult to confirm the authenticity of the marriage agreement between the two of them, but it was certain that the two of them wanted to get married.

The reason was very simple. To Chu Nan, if he did not marry Princess Viennelle, the result would be death. To her, since she had already publicly admitted that she was engaged to Chu Nan, if they could not get married, her face as the noble princess of the Declan Empire would be gone. It would even affect the face of the family behind her and even embarrass the entire Declan royal family.

Therefore, no matter how one looked at it, Chu Nan and Princess Viennelle would definitely get married.

There were all kinds of comments after that. Some supported and some opposed, but in short, most of them agreed with the entire comment.

Chu Nan’s gaze stopped on the entire comment and he seriously read every reply before raising his head to look at Prince Lekas.

“Is this what you plan to let me see?”

“No, I just want you to see that everyone in the Milky Way knows that Viennelle is honest and has an engagement with you. If you reject her, she will definitely become the laughingstock of the entire Milky Way. Do you think this is really good for her? Don’t forget that she sacrificed a lot of courage to save you.”

Facing Prince Lekas’ serious gaze, Chu Nan could only be silent.

Prince Lekas stood up and reached out to pat Chu Nan’s shoulder.

“There’s still a day. Think carefully.”

After saying that, Prince Lekas walked out.

Chu Nan raised his head and watched as Prince Lekas walked to the door before suddenly speaking.

“Your Highness, did you arrange all this?”

Prince Lekas paused for a moment and turned to look at Chu Nan with a smile.

“It’s not important if I arranged it. What’s important is what you should choose.”

After saying that, Prince Lekas left.

Chu Nan sat on the bed with a deep frown. He looked at the wall that had already closed the door and turned into an entire wall in a daze.
