Chapter 217: His Chapter 217: His To Carl, Nnenna’s engagement was never going to happen.

He turned slightly, scanning the crowd until his eyes landed on her.

She stood still, her face blank, but he knew better.

He had spent enough time around her to recognize the restrained anger in the tight press of her lips, the stiffness in her posture.

She was furious.

Of course, she would be.

Carl sighed.

He did not know what everyone was thinking, assuming he had come all this way just to be engaged to Nnenna.

That had never been his intention.

Not even once.

But they wouldn’t understand.

They would twist the story however they pleased.

Still, this situation was ridiculous.

Alexei?

His gaze drifted to the first prince of Haran, and his expression darkened.

Carl knew Alexei wasn’t thrilled about this either, but that wasn’t the issue.

The issue was that Nnenna didn’t want him.

She was meant for someone better.

The engagement was temporary.

He was sure of it.

He would take her away eventually, giving her a better engagement at the right time.

That was what she deserved.

So for now, there was no need for her to be burdened with someone unworthy.

His decision settled in his mind.

He would not allow this engagement to stand.

For now, he wouldn’t say anything.

He wouldn’t embarrass her father, and he wouldn’t cause unnecessary commotion.
