Capítulo 496: Chapter 496 We Are True Love
“He deserves it, doesn’t he? He wanted love, he wanted freedom, and this is the price. It’s ridiculous that he was once an Imperial Commander, and yet, as a high-level general, he mercilessly killed a group of Military Academy Students.”
No, Lin Fu just couldn’t breathe whenever she thought about it.
Fu Xing, somewhat reluctantly, made Lin Fu sit down next to him, holding her hand, “Don’t be angry, you can take revenge however you want.”
Clasping his hand in return, she felt the safety of his sturdy palm and couldn’t resist relying on it to draw more strength.
“That kind of person… That kind of person is simply insane.” She simply couldn’t comprehend Clive’s actions.
If not for remembering everything herself, she wouldn’t have believed it.
“When did you remember this?” Fu Xing asked curiously.
“Just now,” Lin Fu sarcastically said, “His face may have changed since then, but the events, even if deliberately erased, are still remembered by some. I just didn’t expect that Clive would hide you here and give you the title of Earl, which is already quite noble.”
Fu Xing frowned displeasedly, “Really lost his mind.”
At this moment, Theresa’s look towards Ingrid no longer contained the respect of the past but turned into disdain and contempt. She might not know as much about the Royal Family secrets as Flora did, but that didn’t stop her from knowing the story of the Civilian Girl Lillith’s love.
For Theresa, it was acceptable for her to pursue a civilian girl’s man, but for a lowly civilian girl to dare pursue her man was simply suicidal.
Disgraceful.
It must be said, her views completely differed from Lin Fu’s, but on the matter of Ingrid, they found common ground.
“So it was you. Clive should have taken you away. I can’t believe he left you behind,” Xia Huangyu said furiously, having to restrain himself fiercely to prevent killing Ingrid on the spot.
A hundred years ago, Prince Clive fell in love with a civilian girl, breaking off his engagement with Xia Family’s eldest daughter, shattering what should have been a perfect union, and humiliating the Xia Family into becoming a joke among the nobles.
Even after many years, the people of Xia Family still remembered it.
The love story of Civilian Girl Lillith was built upon the downfall of Xia Family’s eldest daughter.
In the story, Lillith was the heroine chasing true, pure love, while the proud and noble eldest daughter of the Xia Family became a despicable villain who tried to destroy a great love.
The Mecklenburg Royal Family had seen many romantic figures, but only a few had caused as much sensation as Clive.
Ingrid, now void of her usual poise and grace, indignantly questioned, “Clive and I shared true love. We loved each other, and he even voluntarily gave up his right to the Imperial Throne, continuously striving for accomplishments, doing so much for the Empire, just for the desire for freedom? What’s wrong with wanting to be with the person he loves?”
The crowd listened, finding some sense in her words.
But Fu Xing spoke up, his tone chilly, “First of all, the Imperial Throne was not voluntarily abandoned by him, there’s no such thing. From the moment he became infatuated with you, he lost his qualifications to compete for the Imperial Throne.”
Ingrid felt as if she had been punched.
“Furthermore, doing deeds for the Empire, achieving accomplishments, isn’t that expected? It is the duty of every citizen of the Empire, and as a member of the Royal Family, he should be even more committed. Instead, he betrayed his promises and oaths, which is a grave mistake.”
