Chapter 503 : (Extra) The Dethroned Crown Prince (3)
One by one, they came like arrows flying toward their targets, hoping to pierce his defenses and win his acceptance. Unfortunately, their conversations all followed a predictable path of destruction. The Golden Dragon Palace specifically took note of the particularly disastrous meeting between Xie Jianshen and Prince Zhou Yanghuan from Qingyuan Palace.
On the day they first met, a pristine morning unfolded before them. A clear sky, bathed in sunshine, seemed to echo the auspicious hope for a successful match between the alpha and the omega.
"Most certainly, Prince Xie. If you do not want to give birth or attend to the marital duties, no one can force you to," Prince Zhou Yanghuan adopted a conciliatory approach, initiating the conversation in a friendly manner. Coming from a clan that gave rise to suave alphas who knew how to manipulate omegas’ hearts, he understood that acquiescing to Xie Jianshen’s demands, at least initially, was the most effective strategy to draw him into a more cooperative dialogue.
Xie Jianshen’s lips curled up into a smile.
"I am glad that Prince Zhou understands."
"In fact, this is more than a reasonable demand. Prince Xie, you do not need to concern yourself with such trivial tasks at all. I will have my concubines take care of them."
A glacial chill overtook Xie Jianshen’s eyes, faster than winter icing a still lake.
"What concubines?"
"The... The side wives?" Prince Zhou cocked his head to the side. Surely Xie Jianshen knew what concubines meant?
Xie Jianshen scoffed in disdain.
"I do not marry men who take side wives."
