The SSS-rank Guide Doesn't Need Saving novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76: Arrived at the Annulment Ceremony with an SS-rank Sentinel

Holding an annulment ceremony in the middle of the year was not surprising. It happens on the most ordinary and unique days. And the number wasn’t limited to how many couples decided to separate and break off their marriages and engagements. However, its relevance can always vary. Like Prince Soren’s annulment ceremony.

For a prince to dissolve an engagement that had been written even before his birth wasn’t just rare. It was unheard of. He hadn’t even married, yet he had already shown his dissatisfaction towards his soon-to-be bride. And he had done so publicly.

Though people were wondering what could have brought this result, what they were more curious about was whether they would have a good show while attending.

After all... the lady Prince Soren was engaged to was quite well-known for all the right and wrong reasons.

There were only a few minutes before the ceremony began, but the star of the show hadn’t appeared yet. Everyone eagerly anticipated Lady Aisha Novalis’s arrival. But since she wasn’t there yet, they entertained themselves by taking the opportunity to get connected with their peers.

As the discussions grew louder, they suddenly heard the herald announce the awaited star’s arrival.

"Lady Aisha Novalis has arrived!"

Soon after these words landed in their ears, all voices stopped, and all heads turned toward the door, watching in anticipation of what Aisha Novalis would look like entering through that door.

Would she have dark circles under her eyes from not being able to sleep?

Will she trip and fall under everyone’s watch?

Or will she walk down the aisle with sorrowful tears streaming down her face?

They’d already imagined the discarded to-be-consort of Prince Soren when she entered the hall.

Yet, they weren’t ready for what they were about to see.

The door creaked open as two guards pulled it inward. The gap that slowly widened the moment the door was pulled let the daylight outside through the inside of the hall. And at the center of it, a woman stood, while bathe in blinding light as though she was given a halo all over her.

They had long known that Prince Soren was engaged to someone who didn’t come from a noble lineage, but a merchant family. It caused quite an uproar when it was announced. Aside from that, they’d known her for possessing a beautiful appearance that had become the talk ever since she appeared in public.

Aisha Novalis instantly became a darling in front of everyone’s eyes. Men and Women admired her beautiful face, while they also felt greed and envy because of it.

Now that they’re seeing her again, they were both shocked and disappointed. The imagined disgraceful entrance where she would walk down the aisle in tears and looking like she’d been aged ten years older didn’t come into their sights. Rather, they hatefully couldn’t believe that she had become even more beautiful than when they first saw her.

And even though she was caught in countless rumors before the publicity their annulment ceremony had garnered, she didn’t look gaunt or forlorn.

"Is that her?"

"I can’t see clearly because of the light from outside."

"She’s finally here!"

As the murmurs began to trickle once again, they saw Aisha take a step forward.

After being disappointed by being unable to see her make a joke of herself in front of everyone, they were soon shocked by what they saw. In fact, they hadn’t taken notice of it because of the light covering her around like a veil.

But now that they were getting a clearer view, they finally caught the color of what she was wearing.

"How scandalous of her!"

"How could she wear that color at her own annulment ceremony?"

"Did not one tell her not to wear red, or did she do this on purpose?"

"Hmph! Even if she wore that, who in their right mind would respond? Obviously, she’s trying to seduce the prince!"

"To think she’d be so bold to come here wearing that... she must have completely lost her mind!"

At this moment, Soren was standing below the throne. He had also heard the commotion and saw Aisha take a step inside the hall. He had been waiting for the ceremony to begin since earlier.
