Reincarnated As The Villainess's Son

Chapter 311  Heart Of Yggrisial [7].

"Heir Himmel may marry the First Princess of the Solace Kingdom instead."

"Wait, what?"

I frowned, trying to process Hayes' words, my mind struggling to catch up.

"You heard me correctly, Heir Himmel," Hayes replied with a small, calculated smile. "You should consider yourself lucky—"

"I refuse." I cut him off mid-sentence, and his smug expression faltered for the first time. "I have no intention of marrying—"

"Are you even hearing yourself?" One of the elders chimed in, looking at me. "You are rejecting a princess of the Zmeior race."

"So what?" I scoffed, turning a glare toward her. "I couldn't care less about some random princess I've never even met—"

"You can't insult our princess in front of me," Hayes snapped, his tone venomous as his composure cracked.

"You think I care—"

"Is this the heir you have chosen, Lady Mariam?" one of the elders scoffed, looking at her.

 "Does he not understand how much the Solace Kingdom can help in restoring the Segyal Highbloods—"

"How exactly?" I asked with a cold smile, cutting through his words.

"Segyal doesn't need political power, and I'm an outsider. Even if I had a dozen children, they wouldn't inherit the Segyal bloodline."

Fucking stupid old shit.

The room froze, and everyone looked at me weirdly.

"What?" I frowned, genuinely confused by their reaction.

"I don't understand," Mariam said softly, her gaze shifting to Hayes. "What benefit does the Solace Kingdom gain by marrying their First Princess to Himmel?"

Hayes just smiled, refusing to answer her query.

"It doesn't make sense," Nerissa chimed in, her sharp gaze fixed on him. "Unless, of course, you have ulterior motives for getting closer to the Segyal Highbloods."

Hayes stood silent, neither confirming nor denying her accusation.

'This isn't good.'
