On the other side, not long after the palace banquet ended, Daisy walked out of the palace with an angry face and left in frustration.
That damn Martha stole Ducasse's attention as soon as she appeared! She wouldn't let this bitch get away with it!
Martha, on the other hand, walked out of the palace together with Louis, with her red lips tightly pursed, looking at the man in front of her with a somewhat alienated gaze.
She didn't expect things to develop to this point.
However, she won't just compromise like that.
Once outside of the palace gates, Louis stood by his car looking at Martha with mixed emotions on his face.
"I have something I need to take care of first; you can go back to the Lucas Family."
"Louis," Martha called out and stopped him from leaving; her eyes filled with complexity as he turned around towards her.
Louis was slightly stiff, and after a moment of hesitation, he turned and looked at Martha standing behind him.
"You don't want to go back?"
Martha pursed her red lips and shook her head slightly.
Now that she was here, she wouldn't leave easily.
However, staying did not mean marrying King Ducasse.
After a moment of silence, she looked at the man standing in front of her with determination and spoke coldly.
"I will not marry King Ducasse, let alone become the queen of Z Country."
Louis stiffened upon hearing this and his gaze deepened.
This matter was not as simple as Martha thought. Sometimes, even if she didn't want to, she had to marry a nobleman.
Martha waited for a long time without getting an answer. She took a deep breath and continued speaking.
"I don't know why you're doing this or what benefits I would get from marrying King Ducasse. But I can tell you one thing for sure: I will never marry him."
When she said this, she paused, and when she recalled what had happened in C Country, her eyes unconsciously showed a little bit of bitterness.
"I trusted you before because I thought you would not lie to me."
But... I know now that even you are lying to me.
Once trust is broken, it is not so easy to rebuild.
Louis understood exactly what was going on with Martha right now. In their eyes, Martha had to marry the new King Ducasse; otherwise there would be no turning point in this matter.
With lowered eyes and after pondering for a while Louis explained solemnly.
"My mother has her reasons for doing this."
"What reasons?" asked Martha impatiently but didn't receive the answer she wanted.
