Chapter 927 Alexander's Consort- Camelia (Part-4)

Before coming to the party, Philips had thanked his lucky stars a million times that Alexander was such an understanding lord.

Any other man in his place would have surely blown up and broken the engagement right then and there, and then heavily punished the woman as well as her family.

But he didn't.

So he had spent the whole night admonishing his sister Camelia for her actions, giving examples of how generous Alexander was, and urging her to play ball, all to capitalize on the good nature of this man.

But it seemed that had been all for naught.

'To hell with her.' So Philips decided to cut the toxic part out as he wished to hand the reins to this unruly daughter.

But strangely enough, such a drastic action did not get too great a reaction from the princess.

Because not only she had already expected this, but in fact she had expected worse.

In this time period, it was not unheard of for fathers to heavily punish and even directly kill their daughters for disobedience.

And in his absence, the power got passed down to the brothers.

Thus in princess Camelia's eyes, she was getting off lightly and hence only glared defiantly with no fear.

"Sorry. I'm afraid that would make the whole point moot." But regardless of the other party's thoughts, Alexander's reply seemed to indicate he was not excited by the offer.

Although handed the rein, he was not in the mood to tame this wild horse, especially one that was so high maintenance and low reward as this one.

What was the point of him catering to this defeated yet foolish princess?

If this was someone like Mikaya, or someone by marrying whom Alexander could get a critical ally perhaps he put in the effort.

But not here.

So with a wave of his hand, Alexander said, "I wanted to take a concubine as a way to form a kinship of blood with you. But since your family has proven incapable of offering me a suitable candidate, then let's forget it."

"Let us be only lord and retainer. And I will simply send this unruly girl to the capital to be properly educated."This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Alexander might not have shown it in his speech, but he was certainly quite upset with the drama unfolding in front of him.

'What a waste of time, *tsk*.' He even ruefully commented.

"No! Please, Lord Pasha...I beg you...!" However hearing the dreadful fate Alexander wanted for his sister, Philips once again interjected with a plea, clearly showing that although the man said the fate of his sister was Alexander's to decide, in reality, he yet much cared for her.

More than even his other sister it seemed, as Philips then quickly posed, "Lord Pasha what about Amelia? We can ..."

" Watch yourself! You will 'not' humiliate my general Philips!!" However, long before Philips could finish, he was ruthlessly stopped on that line of thought as Alexander almost shouted this, putting a particular emphasis on 'not'.

The fifth princess had already been promised to Menes and although fully within his power, Alexander was never going to snatch something that he had already bestowed.

And the mere fact that Philips would suggest this irritated him.

So in a fit of frustration, Alexander decided to end the meeting there, waing his hands dismissively.

"I'm tired of all this. Leave! We are done here!"

"I will support you on that punishment regarding those nobles my lord! Please accept Camelia!" However, Philips, instead of leaving, shouted this, his voice sounding desperate.

His promise here was of course alluding to the nobles who had deserted Alexander and the ones the CP had helped to protect.

Thus she woodily turned to face the man.

Placing her limpid eyes on Alexander, Princess Camelia found the face quite handsome, to be honest.

Clean shaven, with bright eyes, a strong nose, and a muscular square jaw with short hair neatly brushed back, the girl even thought for a second she would not mind calling such a man husband.

'No! He is a scoundrel. He is the one who killed daddy! I will never forgive him!' But just as those positive thoughts started to bubble up, it was instantly douched by this great wave of hatred.

For as it was said, Camelia was really loved by Perseus and she really loved him back.

So to see him go, or at least sink into a coma, really broke her heart.

And there was the man sitting right there who did all that.

Smiling, laughing, cheering?

How could Camelia bear to like him?

Could you do it?

To smile and nod to a man who took everything from you?

Could you do it at the tender age of fourteen?

Camelia was not an unruly girl by nature.

Otherwise, she would not be so loved by Perseus, and her rebellion would not have come as such a surprise to the rest of them.

But the loss of her father really hit her hard.

And it was in ways her family seemed to miss.

For instance, many times, unbeknownst to them, Camelia would sit beside Perseus's sleeping body for hours and simply cry her heart out.

While at other times she would make one side conversations with her unconscious father,

The reasons for her doing so were twofold.

One because she terribly missed her father.

And two because to her, it seemed that the rest of her family had simply forgotten about this patriarch of the family and she felt it was up to her to keep him in her mind.

This was of course wrong as Queen Parthia too very much cared about her husband.

But to Camelia, that claim rang hollow.

For she was horrified seeing just how easily her older brother whom she had once idolized so much, and the mother whom she saw as a role model both simply roll over their back and bow their head to this tyrant without an ouch of shame, the same tyrant who had destroyed her family's legacy and put her father into eternal sleep.

It both shattered her heart and made her lose all respect for them.

And it was because of that Princess Camelia was being so unruly.
