Political Marriage Trap

Soon, Princess Quinn Xiao arrived.

Lily Bai invited her to sit.

"Is there something you want?" Princess Quinn Xiao asked coldly.

Lily Bai replied, "Of course there's something. Otherwise, how would I dare invite Your Highness to grace us with your presence?"

"If you have something to say, say it." Quinn stared at her.

"Princess, you know the Nora Clan, right?" Lily Bai asked.

"Who doesn't know the Nora Clan?" Quinn said. "In recent years, they've become one of the most prosperous divine clans in the Immortal Wilds."

Lily Bai nodded. "Recently, the Nora Clan Chief came to Drake Abyss to propose marriage for his son Evan Nora, hoping to marry the princess. What do you think, Princess?"

"Hmph!" Quinn sneered. "A mere lower-realm divine clan wants to marry me?"

"The Nora Clan's bloodline is nobler than any other divine clan," Lily Bai said coolly. "Besides, the Crown Prince wants some cooperation with the Nora Clan, so he hopes the princess will consider this alliance."

"No need to consider. Just refuse!" Quinn stood up to leave.

"Maybe you haven't figured out the situation," Lily Bai said, calm and certain. "The Crown Prince has already decided."

"Decided what?" Quinn spun around suddenly.

"Decided that you'll be marrying into their clan," Lily Bai said. "As a princess of Drake Abyss, you should do your part for the realm! Besides, Evan Nora is quite the catch—you'll definitely like him!"

"Who do you think you are? Who gave you the right to decide who I marry?" Quinn snapped.

"The Crown Prince now commands the Three Realms and Ten Wilds. There's nothing he can't decide," Lily Bai said loftily. "You'd better face reality, Princess."

"Don't even think about it!" Quinn stormed off.

After she left, Adrian Drake asked, puzzled, "Did the Nora Clan actually propose to her? And what cooperation do we have with them? How come I never heard about this?"

"Of course it's fake," Lily Bai said. "But this princess never bothers to figure out what's real or not. She just gets angry and throws a fit."

Adrian Drake: "So what exactly are you trying to do?"

Lily Bai said, "To find out who's really behind the Demon Bug incident."

"How?" Both of them looked at her.

"Internal cracking."

...

Not far from Radiant Dawn Palace, Princess Quinn Xiao overheard two little immortals chatting.

They were talking about the princess's political marriage.

The Crown Prince has already decided to marry the princess to the Nora Clan. They'll be busy preparing for the wedding...

Furious, Quinn stormed out of the palace and flew straight to the King Tree.

What kind of life has she had these past twenty years?

Her mother, the Divine Empress, hides away and refuses to see anyone.

Her eldest brother, Brandon Xiao, also hides away and refuses to see anyone.

Her second, third, and fourth brothers are all stuck in the lower realms, unable to return without a summons.

Not only is she all alone, now Sean Shaw wants to use her as a bargaining chip in a political marriage!

She is the most exalted princess in Drake Abyss, yet she’s ended up in such a miserable state...

"Xuanmiao..." she murmured.

"Is Darren Xuan really not dead?" Suddenly, Lily Bai's voice came from above.

Startled, Quinn immediately hid herself and looked up.

She saw Lily Bai and Sean Shaw sitting up on a huge tree root above.

Sean Shaw was half-reclining on the tree root, while Lily Bai used his thigh as a pillow. The two were openly flirting, seemingly unaware anyone was nearby.

"Not just Darren Xuan—Jenna Stormscar and Liam Leshan are alive too," Sean said. "The Nora Clan chief promised that if I marry off the princess, they'll help me find them."
