When Richard saw Charlie, who was yellow-skinned and had black eyes, he immediately guessed that Charlie was from the Wade family even though he had never seen him before. So, he smiled and said, "I believe that this gentleman is from the Wade family?"
"Yes." Charlie nodded slightly and smiled as he asked, "I've heard a general idea of what was going on when I came in just now. Did you want to talk to me about something?"
Olivia, who was aside, immediately said, "Charlie, this i s my father, Prince Richard of the Northern Europe royal family!”
Charlie nodded and smiled as he said, "Prince Richard, I wonder what advice you have for me?”
Richard adjusted the knot of his tie, and he had an arrogant look on his face as he said, "When we decided on the marriage contract with the Wade family, we did not know that the Wade family was involved with a mercenary organization such as Ten Thousand Armies! The Northern European royal family has always been very clean and self-conscious, and we have never had any involvement with such gray organizations! Therefore, in order to maintain the royal family's reputation, we naturally cannot continue to fulfill the marriage contract with the Wade family. I hope that you can bring my words to
the head of the Wade family when you return."
Upon saying that, Richard glanced at Helena and added, "As for Helena, since she has already returned, she will stay directly with the royal family this time, and she will not return to Oskia with you anymore."
Charlie laughed and said, "Prince Richard, are you unilaterally backing out of the marriage contract just because you saw that the Wade family has lost its power? You should just say so if that’s the case! Why d o you need to go around in circles and bring Ten Thousand Armies into this matter?"
"What if Ten Thousand Armies were to find out that you're using them as a shield to withdraw from this marriage contract, or what if you annoy Porter Waldron, and he decides to kill you when he loses his temper? What will you do, then?"
The expression on Richard's face instantly changed, and he became flustered.
He had originally wanted to look for a reason to back out of the marriage contract with the Wade family. However, if he were to directly say that the royal family would not want to continue with the marriage contract because the Wade family was now out of power, everyone would be able to see that the royal family was not credible and would go back on their words as soon as word about this matter got out to the public.
