The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 1364

Chapter 1364

James was at a loss for words.

Hearing Yelena’s complaint, he nodded and replied reasonably, “I agree with the princess.

At her age, studies should be her priority. I’ve always regretted not being able to learn enough in school. As a result, I come before you as uneducated and uncultured as I am.”

James deliberately lowered his status and praised Yelena, successfully resolving the awkward situation.

However, Yelena was displeased with his answer.

She was the royal princess of Durandal. Although she was only in her early 20s, countless nobles have proposed to her.

Princes from other countries have also sent her marriage proposals.

She rejected all of them.

Yet, this man from Sol was the one rejecting her this time.

She thought it was normal for her to reject others, but she could not accept other people rejecting her instead.

“What do you mean, James? Are you implying that I’m not worthy of you?” Yelena’s fair features were full of anger as she glared at James sitting beside her.

James smiled awkwardly and replied, “Princess, I’m afraid you’ve misconstrued my words.

Firstly, I already have a wife. Secondly, I’m much beneath you as I’m just an uneducated and uncultured man. Lastly, your focus should be on your studies right now.”

“So what if you’re married? You can just get a divorce.”

Yelena pouted and demanded petulantly, “Divorce your wife this instant and marry me.”

“I’m afraid that’s not possible.” James shook his head in response to her demands.

“You…!”

Yelena was practically frothing at the mouth with anger.

She simply spouted some nonsense in order to save face and did not actually intend to marry James.

Yet, James was here disrespecting her.

“Mother…” Yelena turned to the Queen while pouting.

The Queen raised her hand to cut her off. “That’s enough, Yelena. You shouldn’t pressure him into doing something he’s unwilling to.”

Sitting beside James, Henry lowered his head. He was desperately trying to hold back his laughter.

It was fortunate that his skin was slightly darker than James’.

Otherwise, his face would have been flushed bright red from holding in his laughter for too long.

James did not waste any more time on the topic and quickly brought up some essential national affairs with the Queen, skipping over what was essentially an extremely personal matter.

The whole meal lasted for more than an hour.
