Fourth Prince's Debauchery - Chapter 6

Chapter 6


The hall where the ball was organized was brightly illuminated .

I smiled elegantly and walked forward accompanied by Lena . She was grabbing my arm and smiling politely to the surroundings, but from time in time, she would look at me from a corner of her eyes and curve her lips happily .

All the people inside the hall clapped loudly when we entered . It was nothing more than a courtesy due to my birthday, but I enjoyed it regardless .

After walking until my father's location, I bowed slightly and Lena grabbed the hem of her dress and curtsied .

"Your majesty . " "Father . " Both of us greeted politely .

My father nodded with a gratifying smiled . "Mm, you are very beautiful today, Lena . You too, son . "

Lena grinned happily but I simply nodded . I knew that father's words were nothing more than a formality . The truth is, father probably hates me more than anyone .

He probably considers me the one that killed his beloved .

. . . Maybe, that is part of the reason that he never did anything despite the bullying Dina and I went through in the palace .

After that, I had to greet all the guest that came to the ball . It was something very tiring, and one of the things I hate the most about being a noble, but I finished it with an elegant smiled and refreshing face despite my disgust for them .

Most of the nobles in this hall are disgusting people . The only reason that they are here is to curry favor with my father, and none of them could care less about me . After all, it's a well-known secret that I have not a chance of getting the throne .

Afterward, it was time for the ball .

As the main character of the ball, I had the responsibility for the first dance . Normally, this dance is done together with the mother or the fiancée, but my mother is dead, and my relationship with my fiancée is… a bit bad? Either way, Lena insisted on being my first dance partner and I agreed .

Under the warmhearted gazes of the guest, and the displeased gaze of the empress, we began to dance .

Both Lena and I are pretty good at dancing, so we did it without much problem . Lena was smiling the entire way, and I smiled too while following her rhythm and helping her when she lost the rhythm .

Once the dance finished, Lena reluctantly released my hands and gave way to my next partner .


After that, I danced with Dina and some other distinguished guests . My stepmother never danced with me, citing that she felt a bit sick, but our bad relationship was not a secret for anyone so nobody found it strange .

What they found strange was that my fiancée did not come to the ball .

I could hear some people talking softly behind my back And pointing to me while gossiping about the reason because she did not come to the ball, but I decided to ignore them .



At that moment, my father stood up and raised a cup of wine .

"I have a few words to say . " He spoke in a dignified tone and the entire hall quieted down . He then looked at me . "Today we are celebrating the 18th birthday of my fourth son . I'm pleased by your presence here on this happy day .

"I want to take advantage of this opportunity to make some announcements . Firstly, I want to announce that the first prince, Alan Quintin, will be the crown prince from today onwards . "

Instantly, the hall went completely silent .

Big sister Dina paled when she heard those words, and I frowned deeply . Father's words had a deep meaning . Not because he chose the eldest son as the crown prince, after all, it was something that everybody could see coming . Instead, it was because he chose this moment, the celebration of my birthday, to announce it .

I could not avoid but have a bad premonition about father's next words .

And as I thought, it was not something good for me .

"Secondly, Claus will begin to attend the imperial institute next week . Now that he is eighteen, he will take the courses required for nobles and use the opportunity to socialize with other youngsters of his age .

"Finally, once he finishes his five years of study, he will be sent to the Boread Region to take the position of governor . "

Once my father finished his words, a commotion spread in the surroundings .



At the same time, Dina and Lena paled completely .

Although the position of governor sounds nice, the Boread Region is a poor place in the far south of the empire . It's a cursed place filled with beasts, barbarians, and demons . Few humans live there, and the people in charge of that place die every few years .

Sending a prince there is the same as exiling him .

Moreover, he announced the exile on the day of my birthday .

Yes… It was a humiliation .

I always knew that father, no, the emperor, hated me, but I never thought that it would be at this degree .

Moreover, despite his hatred, he never took action against me or showed it before . The only reason I knew he hated me was due to the experience I accumulated during my many lifetimes

Is there a hidden reason behind the exile? I could not help but try to think of a reason .

But no matter what the reason is, the cold truth is that he exiled and humiliated me .

What a joke .



I could hear the gloating laughs and snickers coming from the surroundings . Bryan was looking at me with an expression of delight, and the empress Lilia was smirking in my direction .

It was obvious that they already knew about it beforehand .

Nevertheless, while others were laughing at my misfortune, and while father looked at me with an unfathomable expression, I kept my expressionless face .

I stared at father calmly . None of the laughs or insults could enter my ears, no malicious gaze could change my expression .

In the end, I simply bowed .

"I understand . "

Then, I left the hall .

I, Claus Quintin, am a reincarnated individual, and this is my 708th reincarnation .

And something that 708 lifetimes taught me, is that revenge tastes sweeter when it's served cold .
