Quick Wear: The Bad Female Supporting Character Is an Evil Cultivator

Chapter 237 The Villain Lady Arrives 65

The third prince looked at Alice's thin figure and felt an inexplicable sense of guilt in his heart.

These days, he was indeed too busy to ignore her feelings. He took a deep breath and said softly:

"Alice, I'm sorry, I've neglected you these days."

Alice raised her head, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect that the Third Prince would take the initiative to apologize to her. Looking at the Third Prince's sincere eyes, the resentment in her heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a warm current.

"Third Prince, I..." Alice didn't know what to say, but she knew that what she needed at this moment was understanding and support.

"I have indeed been a little too busy recently. It is not my intention to ignore you." The third prince continued, "But I promise that I will make more time to accompany you in the future."

Alice smiled softly. She knew how heavy the burden was on the Third Prince as the future heir of the kingdom. She said sympathetically, "It's okay. I understand. You go about your business. I'll be here waiting for you."

After hearing this, the Third Prince felt even more guilty. He held Alice's hand tightly and said affectionately: "Thank you, Alice. Having you by my side is my greatest happiness."

The relationship between the two became more stable because of this frank communication. Alice also gradually came out of the previous shadow and regained her confidence and smile.

The rumors on campus gradually faded away because of the Third Prince's attitude. Although the students still talked about it in private, they no longer dared to ridicule Alice in person. They could only use eye contact or communicate secretly, for fear of angering the Third Prince.

As time went by, the relationship between Alice and the Third Prince became closer. The Third Prince would not only take time out of his busy schedule to accompany Alice, but also support her at critical moments, making her life in the academy smoother.

The Third Prince looked at the knight in front of him, and a sense of inexplicable uneasiness surged in his heart. This knight was a close confidant of his father, and he rarely left the palace. He came to the academy in a hurry this time, so there must be something important.

"Did something happen in the palace?" the third prince asked in a deep voice, his brows furrowed, revealing his inner anxiety.

The knight took a deep breath, his eyes showing a trace of barely perceptible worry. "Third Prince, Miss Vivian and her father, the Duke, are already waiting in the palace."

Hearing the name "Vivian", the Third Prince was in a trance for a moment. He was once very familiar with this name, but now it felt distant and strange. Vivian, his fiancée, a person he had almost forgotten.

Alice stood aside and keenly caught the change in the Third Prince's eyes. A complex emotion surged in her heart, but she chose to remain silent and just observed quietly.

"I see. I'll be back right away." The Third Prince said, turning to look at Alice, "I have some things to take care of. You should go back to the dormitory first."

Alice nodded without asking any more questions. She trusted the Third Prince and believed that he would handle everything.

The third prince rode on a fast horse and hurried back to the palace with the knights. He was full of doubts and uneasiness. What did Vivian's sudden return to the palace mean?

When they arrived at the palace, Vivian and her father had been waiting in the hall for a long time. Seeing the third prince coming in, Vivian's eyes flashed with contempt, but she quickly concealed it.

"Third Prince, you are finally here." The Duke said, with a hint of majesty in his tone.

"I wonder what important matter has brought His Majesty the Duke and Miss Vivian to visit suddenly?" The third prince tried his best to make his tone sound calm.

"We are here to discuss your marriage with Vivian." The Duke said bluntly.

The Third Prince was stunned for a moment. He did not expect the Duke to mention the marriage so directly. He subconsciously looked at Vivian, but found that her eyes were full of contempt.

"Marriage?" The third prince repeated, feeling mixed emotions.

The third prince was stunned for a moment, and his thoughts were instantly pulled back to the past.

As far as he could remember, Vivian had indeed asked him to cancel the engagement more than once, but at the time he always thought it was nonsense and didn't take it to heart. Now, looking back, those ignored details and warnings pierced his heart like thorns.

He remembered that Vivian had once told him seriously about the relationship between her and Alice, and he had only lightly assured her that he and Alice were just ordinary friends. But now, not only did he fail to maintain the boundary of the so-called "ordinary friends", but he also got together with Alice.

A deep sense of guilt surged in his heart. The third prince knew that he had let Vivian down. But what made him even more miserable was that he found that he could not give up his feelings for Alice. He could not let history repeat itself and hurt a woman who loved him deeply again.

"Vivian, I..." The third prince started to speak, but he didn't know what to say. He wanted to say sorry, but these three words seemed too pale and powerless to make up for the mistake he had made.

Vivian looked at him coldly, waiting for his next words. The Duke had a serious expression on his face, obviously dissatisfied with the Third Prince's hesitation.

"I didn't take your words to heart at the beginning. I was wrong." The third prince finally spoke out his guilt. "I know that nothing I say now can make up for my mistake, but I hope you can give me a chance and let me try my best to make up for it."

Weiwei's face flashed with surprise. She didn't expect the Third Prince to be so shameless. But her eyes were still cold, as if she could see through the Third Prince.

"How do you make it up to me?" she asked. "You've already fallen in love with another woman, how can you make it up to me?"

The Third Prince was silent for a moment, knowing that his answer would determine everything. He took a deep breath, raised his head and looked directly into Vivian's eyes.

"I admit that I'm in love with Alice, and this is a fact I cannot deny," he said, "but I also understand that my commitment and responsibility to you are equally important. I am willing to do my best to make up for the harm I have done to you, and I will try my best to satisfy whatever you need."

A hint of sneer flashed in Vivian's eyes.

The Third Prince looked at the Duke, took a deep breath and continued, "My Lord, I know I am sorry to Vivian and to you. But I hope you can understand that feelings cannot be forced. I am willing to bear all the consequences and responsibilities, and I only hope that you can give me a chance to make amends."

The Duke looked at the Third Prince in front of him, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

"How do you plan to make amends?" the Duke asked, "Cancel the engagement? Or where will you put my daughter?"
