The Medallion

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in confusion. They were struck dumb, as they had thought that Shirley would agree to marry Alston. Even if she didn't agree, they didn't know she would do it as harshly as she did. None of them expected that Shirley would refuse Alston outright and in front of so many people too! It would undoubtedly bring great shame to him.

"I'm sorry, Chief Bryant, but I think I misheard her." Alston's face was red with anger, and his veins looked like they were about to pop from his head.

"Your Majesty, Shirley should have made it clear," Bryant replied with a morose expression on his face.

"Miss Shirley, why are you rejecting me? You should at least give me a reason," Alston protested vehemently.

"It is because I am already engaged to someone else before you asked..." Shirley explained matter-of-factly.

When everyone present heard this, they were also shocked, as none of them knew that Shirley was already engaged. Of course, they all forgot that Shirley and Prince Basil were engaged in the past.

"What?! Miss Shirley, when did you get engaged to someone else?" Alston's eyes almost bugged out of their sockets in his surprise.

"Have you forgotten already, Your Majesty? I was engaged to Prince Basil," Shirley replied.

"Ha! Basil? That man has been dead for a long time now. Your engagement doesn't count anymore." Upon hearing Shirley's answer, Alston was exasperated. He didn't expect Basil, who was already dead, to get in the way of his excellent plan. Of course, he knew that Shirley must only be using Basil as an excuse.

"The engagement between Prince Basil and me was issued by the former emperor in person. And even though Prince Basil had already died for the sake of our country, the previous emperor hasn't abolished the engagement between him and me, so the engagement is still valid," Shirley replied with a gleam shining in her eyes.
