Chapter 433: Regret
Such an outcome might indeed be the best course of action, and the brothers of the two ladies had no objections whatsoever.
To become in-laws with His Highness the Crown Prince was a dream realized by few. They had undoubtedly benefited greatly from this unexpected turn of events.
While the Crown Prince hadn’t explicitly promised any specific position for their sister, his assurance to welcome her into the royal residence was more than sufficient.
It was worth noting that the mere fact that their younger sisters had the opportunity to travel alongside the fifth princess and the others was due to the fifth princess exercising her special privileges. Given their family’s relatively modest standing, becoming part of the Crown Prince’s household was already a remarkable prospect.
In the future, when the Crown Prince ascended the throne, titles would be conferred upon all his women. Those who received his favor might even be elevated to the esteemed rank of Noble Consort.
The prospect of bearing a son and a daughter would further enhance their standing, with the son being a prince and the daughter a princess, granting them the prestigious status of imperial uncle-in-law. This would not only ensure wealth and privilege for their sister but would also bring substantial benefits to the brothers.
However, only the two ladies themselves were aware that entering the Crown Prince’s residence might mark the beginning of a challenging Chapter in their lives.
The royal residence was home to a multitude of beauties, and they themselves hailed from unremarkable backgrounds and lacked striking beauty. Standing out among the crowd of glamorous women would be a formidable challenge.
Moreover, their initial mission had failed. Fearing the exposure of his own scheme, the Crown Prince had opted to marry them into his household as a means to secure their silence.
Upon entering the Crown Prince’s residence, the grim reality was that they might not even have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the Crown Prince.
There was also the unsettling possibility that the Crown Prince, having fulfilled his purpose with them, would disregard their presence and leave them to fend for themselves within the sprawling royal household. The mere contemplation of this scenario brought even more profound sorrow to the two ladies.
