Such an outcome might indeed be the best course of action, and the brothers of the two ladies had no objections whatsoever.

To become in-laws with His Highness the Crown Prince was a dream realized by few. They had undoubtedly benefited greatly from this unexpected turn of events.

While the Crown Prince hadnt explicitly promised any specific position for their sister, his a.s.surance to welcome her into the royal residence was more than sufficient.

It was worth noting that the mere fact that their younger sisters had the opportunity to travel alongside the fifth princess and the others was due to the fifth princess exercising her special privileges. Given their familys relatively modest standing, becoming part of the Crown Princes household was already a remarkable prospect.

In the future, when the Crown Prince ascended the throne, t.i.tles would be conferred upon all his women. Those who received his favor might even be elevated to the esteemed rank of n.o.ble Consort.

The prospect of bearing a son and a daughter would further enhance their standing, with the son being a prince and the daughter a princess, granting them the prestigious status of imperial uncle-in-law. This would not only ensure wealth and privilege for their sister but would also bring substantial benefits to the brothers.

However, only the two ladies themselves were aware that entering the Crown Princes residence might mark the beginning of a challenging chapter in their lives.

The royal residence was home to a mult.i.tude of beauties, and they themselves hailed from unremarkable backgrounds and lacked striking beauty. Standing out among the crowd of glamorous women would be a formidable challenge.

Moreover, their initial mission had failed. Fearing the exposure of his own scheme, the Crown Prince had opted to marry them into his household as a means to secure their silence.

Upon entering the Crown Princes residence, the grim reality was that they might not even have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the Crown Prince.

There was also the unsettling possibility that the Crown Prince, having fulfilled his purpose with them, would disregard their presence and leave them to fend for themselves within the sprawling royal household. The mere contemplation of this scenario brought even more profound sorrow to the two ladies.

Their misfortune was almost unbearable. Among the numerous young ladies hailing from humble backgrounds, why had the fifth princess chosen them as her p.a.w.ns?

Back when the fifth princess had approached them, they had briefly considered resisting her advances. However, the fear of her potential revenge coupled with the irresistible allure of the rewards she dangled before them made them feel powerless to refuse.

The fifth princess had promised that after accomplis.h.i.+ng her objectives, she would seek her Imperial Fathers blessing for their marriages. She had guaranteed that they would be able to marry the men of their choosing.

Coerced and tempted by her offers, they had felt there was no room to resist. Fate had dictated their path, leaving them with no alternative.

Are you not willing to become residents of the Crown Princes household? The Crown Prince frowned, evidently displeased.

Given their unremarkable appearances and modest backgrounds, these two young ladies should have been elated to hear of his intention to marry them into the royal residence. Why were they crying? What did this signify?

Could it be that they believed he was forcing them into a situation they resented?

The two ladies quickly regained their composure and wiped away their tears, feigning shyness.

Your Highness, we we are genuinely eager to become part of the Crown Princes residence.

These tears, one of them stammered, theyre tears of joy.

At this juncture, there was no alternative. They had to agree to enter the Crown Princes residence and employ every means possible to secure even a fraction of the Crown Princes affection.

The thought that could potentially change their fate was if, by some stroke of fortune, they became pregnant with the child of His Highness the Crown Prince.

Its fortunate that you are content with this decision. Return to your residence and take some rest, the Crown Prince said calmly.

In a few days, I shall arrange for a suitable day to have you formally wed into the Crown Princes household.

The Crown Princes words were devoid of any discernible emotion, and he didnt even cast a glance in the direction of the two ladies..
