The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Capítulo 1151: Chapter 1151: A Little Horn (Part 5)

“Truly a pair of star-crossed lovers.” The young girl smiled playfully, “This princess can give you both an opportunity.”

She pouted, “That bow, very few people can draw the string, but it’s said you are born with great strength. If you can draw the string, this princess will bless your union.”

Lady Wan was already prepared to face death, who would have thought there’d be a twist of fate?

Lady Wan quickly ran over, picked up the bow, and reached to pull.

At first, she couldn’t pull it. She took a deep breath and tried several times, but still couldn’t draw the string.

The Little Palace Maid laughed out loud, “Looks like the top scholar was lying!”

“I can do it!” Lady Wan assumed the Horse Stance and tried to pull with all her might again.

The bowstring moved, little by little… it was being pulled open.

Very reluctantly, it wasn’t fully drawn.

“You can’t do it, can you?” The Little Palace Maid teased her.

Lady Wan’s face was flushed red, she tried pulling with all her strength once more.

Seeing her palms bleed, the young girl said indifferently, “That’s enough.”

“Her Royal Highness Princess, I can do it, please give me a little more time…” Lady Wan pleaded in her voice.

The young girl yawned lazily, “This princess said if you could move the bowstring, your union would be blessed, never said it had to be fully drawn.”

Upon hearing this, Wan Nian froze, released her hand, and the bowstring returned to position, stepping back several steps, full of disbelief, “It’s… that simple?”

The young girl chuckled lightly, “Not simple, even among the Imperial Guards in this palace, not many can draw the bowstring. Your strength is quite impressive.”

“Then I…”

“Go, have someone release the top scholar.” The young girl tossed a Token to the Little Palace Maid.

The Little Palace Maid stomped her foot angrily, “Too easy for them!”

The young girl glanced lazily at her, the Little Palace Maid didn’t dare delay and hurriedly left.

Lady Wan kneeled on the ground, sincerely kowtowing, “Thank you, Her Royal Highness, for your blessing, thank you, Her Royal Highness…”

The young girl waved her hand, dismissing those around.

When Lady Wan, kneeling on the ground, calmed down, the young girl then lazily spoke, “Would you be willing to follow this princess?”

“Ah?” Lady Wan looked up, a face full of confusion, somewhat naive.

The young girl asked indifferently, “Have you heard, this princess has outlived five fiancés?”

“This…” Lady Wan didn’t know how to respond.

On the way to the Imperial City, she had heard about it. At that time, she resented the royal family because her beloved was imprisoned, maliciously thinking it was karma!

But now, seeing this princess as beautiful as a Goddess, she felt sorry for her.

Such a beautiful princess, why couldn’t she find happiness?

“Seeing your expression, you must be aware?”

“Yes, I heard the rumors on my way to the capital.”

The young girl said lightly, “My father is not a foolish man, the reason he was so furious was because the top scholar was this princess’s last chance.”

“Last chance?” Lady Wan looked puzzled.

“After the imperial examination, envoys from foreign lands will arrive, by then, they will surely propose marriage alliances.”

Lady Wan began to comprehend and stammered, “If the princess cannot marry the top scholar, then she would have to marry into a foreign land?”

“Almost exactly so.”

Lady Wan suddenly prostrated herself on the ground, “It’s my fault for harming the princess…”

Such a beautiful person, how could she be forcefully married off to another country, ending with no proper outcome!

Lady Wan wept, “Her Royal Highness, if…if there is no other candidate, I will discuss with him…”

The young girl found it amusing, “You want to persuade the top scholar to marry me? What about you then? Become a concubine?”

“I… I am willing to be a concubine.” Lady Wan said timidly.

“Tsk!” The young girl waved her hand, “You might be willing, but this princess is not!”

The young girl sat up straight, exuding noble demeanour, her gaze calm, her voice cold and low, “A man of this princess can only have this princess alone.”

Lady Wan bit her lip and shyly spoke, “Then… then put on a play, once the envoys leave…”

“Avoidance is also not this princess’s choice.”

The young girl looked down at Lady Wan, her voice resonant, “Marriage alliances only exchange for momentary peace, it is ultimately no solution. Those Barbarian Tribes, once taking advantage once, will only become more aggressive. Now it’s this princess, in a few years it will be the Little Princess, or perhaps the daughter of the eldest prince. If you use the marital affairs of young women to exchange for fleeting peace, the Great Xia won’t last twenty years before it falls!”

Lady Wan covered her mouth, a face full of terror.

Twenty years, does Great Xia only have twenty years of prosperity left?

The young girl’s calm gaze met Lady Wan’s terrified eyes, she smiled with an enthralling charm, “Lady Wan, this princess will not exchange a mere twenty years of national peace and prosperity through marriage alliance. As long as this princess lives a day, I will see that Great Xia thrives and prospers for a day! Are you willing to follow this princess into battle, to ensure the prosperity of the Great Xia for a hundred years?”

In her daze, Wan Nian saw the young girl pick up the bow she couldn’t fully draw.

Under Lady Wan’s astonished gaze, the young girl effortlessly, with just a flick of a finger as casually as brushing a strand of hair, fully drew the bow!

Wan Nian, who considered herself born with great strength, realized she had witnessed true Divine Power!

Wan Nian’s eyes were filled with admiration, she prostrated herself on the ground, “Lady Wan is willing to follow Her Royal Highness the Princess and swear allegiance unto death!”
