Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1696

Chapter 1696 

I can understand the first three criteria as they showcase a woman's virtue, culture, and the embroidery skills that the women of this tribe must learn.

But, fortune-telling? That is a little hard to believe.

I mean, that's literally sorcery! Are the women of this royal family so hardcore that they even need to know how to tell fortunes? The thought of that piqued Riley's curiosity, and she dedicated all of her attention to what was going on at the top of the altar.

The high priest then walked up to the three girls and handed them a large, red handkerchief.

Judging by how thin the handkerchief looked, it was most probably made of high-quality silk.

"This is your first test.You will use this handkerchief during your wedding ceremony after being chosen, so please put your training to good use.You may begin."

Having received the instructions from the high priest, the girls quickly took the handkerchief over and started stitching away.

The crowd looked even more nervous than the girls as they watched on from below the altar.

For the most part, Riley's attention was focused on Lucy because of her extreme hatred toward her.

A mischievous grin formed on Riley's face when she saw that Lucy clearly wasn't performing as well as the other two girls.

Surely enough, the girl from the Cyanian tribe was the one who performed the best on the test.

She had managed to sew a beautiful lotus on the handkerchief in just half an hour.

D*mn, this girl sure is talented! Riley thought to herself in awe as she complimented the girl from the bottom of her heart.

"Look at how amazing our representative is! That woman doesn't stand a chance against her!"

"I know, right?"

The two Cyanian women began mocking Lucy disdainfully.

Although Riley was laughing along with them, she couldn't help but notice something rather strange about Lucy.

Huh...

Lucey doesn't seem to be panicking in the slightest even after failing her first test so miserably...

If anything, she looks like she’s just calmly waiting for the next test! Does she think she stands a chance in the following tests? The mere thought of that made Riley hate her even more.

Kurt, on the other hand, didn't show any emotion as he watched on from his seat next to the king.

Despite wearing an elegant crown that the high priest had personally put on his head, he had an icy- cold look in his eyes and kept quiet the whole time.
