"I, the Crown Prince of the Xenon Kingdom, Marvel Lockwood, am declaring the official annulment of our engagement!" A handsome man with golden hair exclaimed as he strongly glared at the woman across him.

Cladded with an expensive suit laced with golden embroidery, the handsome man revealed a charming and aristocratic demeanor. His golden hair was neatly brushed back, revealing the green eyes that seemed to captivate anyone at first glance. His tall and strong body hid a petite woman behind him, protectively guarding her from any danger.

The moment the man spoke, several gasps resonated across the room. Surprised and loud exclamations came from the noble families that attended the ballroom party today.

The young noble ladies who were watching from the sidelines snickered as they watched the Crown Prince publicly humiliated the eldest daughter of the Rosamund Family, their expressions were a mixture of delight and scorn.

For them, a lower ranking noble, to see a higher ranking noble like the Rosamund Family be dragged down to the mud, was a once in a lifetime experience — simply an exhilarating feeling.

"From the testimonies I have stated before, the misdeeds that Lady Alvira has done to a commoner student was cruel to the point it was inhumane!" The Crown Prince narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"You are not fit to become the Crown Princess!"

As several gasps rose up again from the crowd, several young lords stepped out, speaking up their thoughts regarding the matter.

"Alvira Rosamund, for you, a noble, to abuse your power!" The eldest son of Count Philip, James, chimed in. "..and for you to harass a lovely young lady like Lily Edkins..!"

"Simply unforgivable!"

"I'm disappointed in you, Alvira Rosamund. I didn't know until today that such a diligent and capable student of mine could harbor such malicious intentions behind that mask of yours..." The young and handsome teacher, Max lamented.

"I shall talk to your father after this, Lady Alvira. Don't even mention becoming a Crown Princess, you're not even fit to become the successor of the Rosamund Family." The apprentice knight, Jacob Williams stated as he stared down at the woman in black strap dress.

Sharp and malicious murmurs directed at the woman continued as she received the brunt of the mockery coming from the noble young lords and ladies.

She suddenly became the centre of the attention as fingers were pointed at her. Derisive taunts and slanderous gossips rang in her ears like bees buzzing around.

Alvira Rosamund, the subject of such condemnation, calmly watched with sharp eyes, her gaze directed to the woman in her fiancée.. no, ex-fiancée's arms.

"My deeds?" Her cold and steady voice rang out.

The ballroom was immediately hushed into silence.

Their eyes were trained on her, watching and judging her every move.

"Yes, I admit I did them." The woman sneered, her lips curving in a mocking smile.

"But so what?"

"You..!" Veins bulge on Marvel's forehead, his penetrating green eyes bears hatred and malice.

"How foolish for you to admit your wrongdoings! Guards take her away!"

"Wait!" Alvira shouted, "I haven't even finished speaking, yet you dare to interrupt this lady's words?"

"Where are your manners as the Crown Prince?"

Getting ridiculed by the woman he hated the most, the man gritted his teeth, his cold eyes boring down on her.
