The SSS-rank Guide Doesn't Need Saving novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6: A Sentinel’s Pressure

Aisha didn’t know why he was hesitating. But she didn’t rush him.

For as long as he needed her to sign, he would surely agree to her terms. She didn’t even consider the prince going to the emperor to seek his approval.

If she was right, Soren couldn’t easily get the emperor’s approval. One, an engagement was a matter the royal family took seriously. If a royal family member must annul their marriage or engagement, one must come up with an irrefutable and justified reason.

Aisha’s rank as a guide didn’t put the royal family to shame. Rather, it didn’t matter what rank she was, as long as she turned out to be a guide. The Gaia Empire had quite a number of guides he could ask for assistance. So, this alone won’t disqualify Aisha’s eligibility as his betrothed.

Two, breaking off an engagement would be akin to turning back on one’s words. The royal family wouldn’t want to paint themselves as those who do not commit to their promises.

Three, annulling a marriage or engagement would be too long a process. And it would involve a lot of parties.

Soren won’t have any choice but to give her 30 million.

"Alright," he resigned. "I will give you 30 million in exchange for you signing the annulment papers."

As a prince, Soren was not lacking in money either. However, he had spent a lot over the past two months to meet and gift some nobles who agreed to align themselves with him. And he had also given Irene, Aisha’s younger sister, an expensive gift on her birthday—a bug jade he bought at an auction.

The royal family members’ bank accounts are often checked. It was to ensure no one in the family dared to have any thought of rebelling and funding their own army.

Naturally, he and the royal family member have their own private accounts outside what can be checked regularly. But Soren’s mother, Consort Gabriel, controlled most of her son’s treasury. He had to get her permission to take 30 million from it.

Fortunately, he still has over 25-million-star credits in his bank account.

He took out his terminal, and under Aisha’s gaze, he directly sent the money to her account. He felt a little dejected parting with his money, and not just a small amount. It was 30 million! However, he couldn’t hesitate any longer and refuse this.

Who knows when Aisha will become so agreeable?

"I’ve sent you 25 million," Soren announced. "As for the rest, you can have the 5 million after we officially break up." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Aisha nodded.

She didn’t care that he didn’t send her the full 30 million. Since he was worried that she might renege, he held her 5 million hostage.

If this were the former Aisha Novalis, she might go back on her promise and tell him that, since they were going to be husband and wife in the future, his money would be hers as well.

But Aisha wouldn’t do that.

If there was one thing that she and Prince Soren were similar in, it was that they both genuinely wanted out of this engagement. Just thinking about being tied to someone she didn’t like and had indirectly caused someone to die and yet so unrepentant... Aisha didn’t want to have anything to do with him.

Signing the annulment papers was easy.

Though a little different from what she used to.
