Chapter 1418 You Think You Can Control Elisa? He sent people to investigate but found nothing.
While pondering the matter, a subordinate suddenly knocked on his door.
He furrowed his brow and said, "Cin." The subordinate entered and looked at Eden before saying respectfully, "Prince Eden, Irene wishes to see you and is waiting outside." Eden's gaze darkened. He answered indifferently. "Let her in." "Yes." In less than two minutes, Irene appeared before him.
She wore a blue dress with a plunging v-neckline. Her hair curled like waves and rested on her shoulders. Moreover, she wore jewelry that gleamed and glittered under the light.

Eden's expression turned cold as he thought about it. "What is it?" He asked rudely and stood up to put more distance between him and Irene.
Irene had no idea what he was thinking and smiled charmingly at him. "I have to attend a ball soon. Since | acted as your date previously, can you return the favor and be my date this time?" Irene pretended not to notice Eden's cold indifference.
But Eden replied without pausing to consider, "No." Irene's smile stiffened instantly.
She thought Eden would agree to go with her if she requested him that way. Unexpectedly, he refused without giving it a thought.
Her expression darkened further as she thought about it. She looked at Eden and frowned. "You reject my invite but try to get close to the one who won't invite you. What's the point of this?" She tried to appeal to him despite his cold indifference.
Although Irene did not express her feelings through words, her eyes displayed her true feelings.
Eden's expression turned fierce.
He raised his hand, prompting Irene to widen her eyes and retreat from him speedily.
Unfortunately, her skirt was too long and caused her to trip.

Irene's eyes burned with fury as she said, "Eden, aren't you afraid that doing this will lead to a war between our countries?" Eden sneered and was not bothered by her threat. "What makes you think our countries will go to war over people like us? What kind of joke is this?" Even if they had a pure royal lineage, public opinions and the royal families’ dignity did not allow any royals to go to war over such a matter.
Furthermore, the ministers would not support a war.
Eden's words were sharp as daggers. They pierced Irene's heart, leaving her wounds exposed. It felt like all her hard work was for nothing.
Irene sneered, "Since we have no pure royal lineage, we should make a nfor ourselves. This is also why we collaborated previously and why | am here now. Eden, are you only here because you wanted to support Elisa? Do you think you can control her after only a few meetings?" Her tone was filled with mockery.
She understood Eden's ambition at this moment.
However, it was unachievable.
Elisa was unaware of this yet. Even if she knew, why would she choose Eden? If Eden had any effect on her, why would her relationship with Gareth flourish after their divorce?
