A bad premonition like the dark clouds before the summer rainstorm quickly condensed in Caspian’s heart.
When he saw the slender: figure behind the gauze move, Caspian felt his scalp tingling, and he blurted out almost subconsciously, “No!”
At the exact moment, a clear and melodious sound like a pearl falling on a jade plate was heard from behind the gauze curtain.
“Casper Montgomery!”
Perhaps Princess Charlotte’s voice was like the sound of nature, too beautiful, or because everyone’s attention was on the princess, wanting to hear who she chooses, Caspian’ s objection was like a small splash in a big wave, almost going unnoticed.
In an instant, Caspian felt his mind was blank.
In the past, he never had such a reaction, even in the most dangerous situation.
Jessica’s face also turned pale in the blink of an eye.
Her breathing became stagnant as she covered her chest, staggering two steps back while staring at the gauze curtain.
Bowen, who was almost unnoticeable in the crowd, looked at Caspian with sympathy, mouthing, “I knew it!”
Nonetheless, no matter how the crowd reacted, the words, Casper Montgomery, were extremely clear and reached everyone’s ears.
Moreover, the Spiritual Master‘s divine consciousness in the bronze mirror also changed, and a golden ripple oscillated out as if to show that he knew the choice made by Princess Charlotte.
Caspian took a deep breath, came back to his senses, stepped forward, and shouted, “Princess Charlotte, I have something to say.
I…”
However, before Caspian could say a word, Keanu suddenly interrupted, casting a stern look at Caspian to stop him from speaking anymore.
Then, Keanu bowed to Emperor Earlington of Efrax, saying, “The Heavenly Stars Sect would like to thank Princess Charlotte for her love.
I’ll definitely urge Casper to practice harder, respect and care for Princess Charlotte, and never let down the painstaking efforts of the Spiritual Master, His Majesty, and Her Royal Highness.”
Caspian’s breathing became rapid, and he looked at Jessica.
The glistening tears flashing in Jessica’s eyes were like thousands of steel needles, making Caspian feel a pain in his heart.
Then, Caspian turned around quickly and was about to speak again.
Caspian thought, ‘I already have the most important person in my heart.
How can I accept a person I have never seen before!’
As if immediately seeing through what Caspian was about to do, Terry’s voice suddenly exploded in Caspian’s ears.
“Casper, don’t be ridiculous! This is the princess’s choice, and the Spiritual Master and so many people are witnessing.
Do you know what will happen if you refuse! Not only is the Heavenly Stars Sect unable to protect you, but the sect might also even suffer from your act! Are you going to let your teacher and the entire Heavenly Stars Sect fall from the state religion into the abyss overnight because of you!”
Caspian trembled when he heard those words.
If Terry said that Caspian’s refusal would have severe consequences for himself, Caspian would still not hesitate to make his point clear.
However, Terry put Hadley and the entire Heavenly Stars Sect: on the same boat as Caspian, bounding together for all or nothing.
The Spiritual Master could do everything.
If he found out the disciple he selected was rejected by others and was even done so openly, then it was no different from hitting the Spiritual Master in the face in public.
At that time, Caspian would anger the entire Heavenly Stars Sect…
Caspian finally realized that his situation turned out to be unprecedentedly tricky.
Just when Caspian hesitated for a moment, he suddenly found himself unable to move.
He wanted to open his mouth, but he found that he could not speak.
Caspian’s body turned stiff as if invisible ropes bound him.
