Chapter 905: 905 The Direction of the Public’s Heart—Ye Wanlan! [1 more update]

At first, Princess Meivis didn’t pay any attention to Ye Wanlan. Even though Ye Wanlan showed great strength, she still wasn’t afraid.

It wasn’t until those ministers jointly petitioned King Beirut to make Ye Wanlan the Crown Prince that she started to panic.

Princess Meivis had always been good at reading people. She could see that King Beirut also wanted to get rid of Ye Wanlan.

She had been secretly investigating Ye Wanlan and finally caught some evidence!

King Beirut frowned and said coldly, "Little Mei, this is no small matter. You say Princess Wanlan is treasonous, what evidence do you have? You absolutely cannot make wild accusations without evidence!"

"Grandfather, I am not speaking nonsense." Princess Meivis exclaimed, "I saw her heading to the Land through a secret passage, and I’ve already ordered the guards to lie in wait."

As soon as her words fell, footsteps sounded, and the royal palace guards filed in, with Ye Wanlan walking in the middle.

Her pace was unhurried and leisurely, showing no sign of panic.

"Your Majesty." The Guard Commander stepped forward, "As Princess Meivis stated, we indeed captured Princess Wanlan at the passage, awaiting Your Majesty’s decision."

King Beirut’s eyes turned, concealing a smile, then he abruptly shouted, "Well, colluding with humans and treason—do you realize your crime!"

Ye Wanlan’s expression was calm: "Innocent. Why acknowledge guilt if there is none?"

"You’re still arguing! Grandfather, she must be a spy!" Princess Meivis shouted angrily, "Why else would she return to the Land?"

King Beirut could barely suppress his excitement, yet he still feigned composure: "Do you have anything else to say?"

"I went to the Land to discuss cooperation." Ye Wanlan smiled lightly, "For the benefit of Cangyuan and for the future of Atlantis."

Princess Meivis widened her eyes: "You’re lying!"

The smile disappeared from King Beirut’s face, and before he could speak, a voice echoed.

"Your Majesty, it seems clear that Princess Wanlan is thinking for the sake of our Cangyuan!" The old minister stepped out again, "Although Princess Wanlan has been in the human world for over a decade, she has not harmed Cangyuan’s interests and has been devoted to Cangyuan. Your Majesty, you should appoint Princess Wanlan as the Crown Prince; this is in line with destiny!"

"..."

Princess Meivis was flabbergasted, unable to believe her ears.

After enduring countless provocations, King Beirut finally lost his patience. He shouted angrily: "Oleg Ortega!"

Oleg appeared quite calm as he stroked his beard and sighed: "Ah, I’ve lived too long. If not for Your Majesty remembering this old minister’s name, I would have forgotten. Thank you for the reminder, Your Majesty."

This comment infuriated King Beirut, and he spoke coldly: "Oleg, don’t forget that when the previous king was in power, you strongly opposed any communication between Cangyuan and the Land. Why are you now supporting it?"

"Your Majesty, people must keep up with the times." Oleg argued confidently, "I believe that if we can join hands with humans, it might be a good solution."

"You... you..." King Beirut pointed at him, his hand trembling, "Oleg, how dare you!"

He truly had no idea what kind of seductive spell this Ye Wanlan had cast on Oleg.

Oleg not only proposed making her the Crown Prince but also believed her tale of uniting with humans.

However, as Oleg spoke, other royal ministers also chimed in.

"Makes sense, if cooperation can benefit both sides."

"We can’t leave, and humans can’t come in. Only Princess Wanlan can travel between the two worlds."

"In this way, Princess Wanlan becomes the peace envoy between Cangyuan and the Land!"

They discussed animatedly, nearly causing King Beirut to faint from anger.

King Beirut took two deep, heavy breaths and could no longer contain his emotions. He swept everything off the table: "Get out! All of you!"

He then stormed off, flicking his sleeves.

Oleg sighed again: "Your Majesty’s temper still needs to improve. Anger harms the body, and frustration affects the heart and lungs. It’s not good this way."

And so, a tempest settled quietly.

Ye Wanlan turned and left.

"You mustn’t leave! Stop!" Princess Meivis hastily followed, "You’re lying, and I will find irrefutable evidence!"

Ye Wanlan did not stop until she reached the garden, and then finally halted.

Her stop was so abrupt that Princess Meivis couldn’t brake in time and bumped into her with a "bang."

Princess Meivis clutched her nose, tears springing to her eyes: "Didn’t you hear?!"

"You and I have no conflicting interests, Beirut treats you as a tool to be discarded at will. Are you truly willing?" Ye Wanlan spoke softly, "As an Alpha Level Divine Bloodline, you can certainly achieve more, why would you confine yourself to the title of a token princess?"

Princess Meivis was dumbfounded: "What are you talking about? I’m a princess, and a princess should stay in the palace to serve her parents..."

"Oh? A princess can’t become a Crown Prince or go to battle?" Ye Wanlan chuckled, "Is that what Beirut taught you? He taught you only to be a fragile princess but not how to build your character and become a full independent person?"

As another king, Ning Zhaozong didn’t teach her this way.

Ning Zhaozong told her to do whatever she wanted, to become whoever she wished to be.

Ning Zhaozong also said she need not be bound because she’s female, she’s not inferior to anyone.

Ning Zhaozong even said she could walk across the land majestically.

Ye Wanlan glanced at Princess Meivis: "A princess can also overturn traditions and break free from constraints."

With a "boom," Princess Meivis’s mind went blank.

She stood there, staring at Ye Wanlan’s back, overwhelmed and lost.

Since her birth, she had been told she’s the most cherished princess, destined to live a carefree life, never needing to worry about anything, only needing to act spoiled to get everything she wanted.

Both her parents and uncles and aunts told her she only needed to please King Beirut.

"Your Highness, even with Beitang Queen and numerous ministers backing her, how can she say such things to you?" The maid said angrily, "It’s utterly nonsensical, even Lord Oleg was bewitched by her!"

"No..." Princess Meivis shook her head, murmuring, "I think... she’s right."

The maid was startled: "Your Highness!"

"Let me walk alone." Princess Meivis dismissed the maid.

The maid stared at her, eyes flickering, and returned to report everything to King Beirut.

"Your Majesty, Princess Meivis... cannot be kept."
