Chapter 459: The Grand Prince Has Arrived
Charlie shook his head and said, “There’s no need for that. Acting may not fool those people, but it might drive away those who are genuinely interested in supporting me. It could end up being counterproductive. Right now, we need to unite, but we must act low-key, just like Little Hai and Zhan. Regardless of what happens, we must help each other.” Everyone nodded in agreement.
Charlie turned to look at the sky and said in a solemn voice, “Alright, let’s head to the front. The people we’re expecting should be arriving soon.”
Just as Charlie was getting up, a series of hurried footsteps echoed from outside the door. The footsteps were urgent but not heavy.
Charlie’s expression darkened involuntarily. He had instructed his servants not to allow anyone to disturb him during this time, and those guarding outside were all his trusted subordinates. He was very familiar with the footsteps of those few people and immediately recognized that none of them belonged to his usual servants.
Seeing the change in Charlie’s expression, Zhao Hai immediately knew something was wrong. He quickly stood up and drew his staff. The other members looked at Zhao Hai's demeanor and then at Charlie's face, realizing that there was indeed a problem, and they quickly sprang into action.
At that moment, a voice called out from outside, “Third Brother, Third Brother, are you in there? The guests have nearly arrived, yet the host is nowhere to be seen! Hurry out.”
Hearing this voice, Charlie couldn’t help but smile wryly, “Alright, don’t be so tense; it’s just my ninth sister who has arrived.”
Zhan, upon hearing Charlie’s words, was momentarily stunned, “Ninth sister? Your Highness, are you referring to Princess Lily?” Charlie nodded, forced a smile, and stood up, raising his voice, “Come in, Little Sister!”
Upon hearing Charlie’s words, Zhao Hai and the others also relaxed. Just as they did, the living room door was pushed open, and a person in a princess dress walked in.
The first thought that crossed Zhao Hai's mind upon seeing the princess was that she had a great figure. Indeed, Princess Lily's physique was remarkable, standing about 1.7 meters tall, and her figure could only be described as stunning. She was the most beautiful woman Zhao Hai had ever seen.
Looking at Princess Lily's face, Zhao Hai was momentarily stunned. She had big eyes, a small and straight nose, full yet very attractive lips, and skin as smooth as oil with a golden-brown hue. Her long light brown hair and light green eyes could easily be described as captivating.
However, the reason Zhao Hai was taken aback wasn’t just her beauty but because Princess Lily bore a resemblance to someone he wasn’t very familiar with but knew of.
Gillian Hazel, the soccer sweetheart of the English Premier League, a blend of sensuality and elegance, was a goddess of beauty. Even the globally recognized sex symbol Angelina couldn’t compare to this English Premier League darling on the list of the world’s sexiest women, highlighting her allure.
And now, Charlie’s sister was named Lily, Gillian, Lily—while the names may be reversed, the resemblance was uncanny. This was quite unexpected.
Zhao Hai increasingly felt that the Ark Continent might be connected to Earth; otherwise, why would beautiful women who looked just like those from Earth keep appearing one after another?
Princess Lily was clearly taken aback by the number of people in the room. She paused for a moment, but Zhao Hai and the others had already reacted, and they all bowed in unison, “We pay our respects to Your Highness the Princess.”
Lily quickly regained her composure and adopted a princess-like demeanor, slightly bowing her head to the group, “Please, there’s no need for formalities.”
Only then did they stand up. Charlie looked at Lily and asked, “Little Sister, why didn’t you wait for me at the front? What are you doing here?”
Lily glanced at Zhao Hai and the others, feigning a cool princess demeanor, “Since the guests have almost all arrived and you had yet to appear, I came to check on you.”
