The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 285
Ren looked at the video closely. He did not expect that someone as evil as Alaric Rhionen would have a family. He also seemed very fond of his wife and children.
If Ren didn’t know who Alaric really was, he would have been fooled, just like all the guests attending the event at the Hotel St. Laurent ballroom who admired the happy little family.
Ren felt sick to his stomach when he saw the public display of affection by that monster, Alaric Rhionen, toward his family.
“Uncle … so, you are saying, you want me to wait for his daughter to get older, seduce her… and then get her to marry me? Is that so?” asked Ren without taking his eyes off the video.
“That’s right. By the time she is twenty, you will be thirty. You both are still compatible. I think that they would never imagine we have plotted this kind of plan. We will enter the Alchemist clan through marriage. All outsiders who marry into the clan members will be gifted with the elixir of immortality,” said Charles excitedly.
This handsome man in his late 30s had thought about entering the Alchemist clan and getting the potion of immortality by marrying Sophia. He had been watching the Meier girl for several weeks and he was so sure he could win over Sophia.
But then he changed his mind. Sophia had absolutely no significant position in the clan. She would not be able to break through the circle of Alchemists and got the formula for the immortality potion as well as taking revenge on everyone.
According to him, the best way was to get a daughter from an important family in the clan just like Alaric’s daughter. That way, they would get two benefits at once.
By taking Alaric’s daughter, they would be able to make him feel the loss. It would be sweet revenge for Charles.
Alaric had made so many people lose their families and loved ones. It was the perfect time to give him a taste of what it was like to lose someone you dearly loved.
It was time for Alaric to feel the loss himself.
Charles realized that as the daughter of the world’s wealthiest man, Alaric Rhionen or Elios Linden, and the granddaughter of the clan leader, Caspar Schneider, Vega was the best target.
However, it also made Vega the most difficult target to get. No man would be good enough for her. She was a girl who had everything and she was always protected by everyone.
Charles and Ren had to figure out how to make Vega fall in love with Ren … marry him, and bring Ren into her family as her husband. If the plan worked out, Ren would get the wedding gift of the elixir and the trust of Vega’s family.
The only way to get the princess to fall for Ren was to uproot her from her family and strip her of her status and everything she had.
“This can only work if you don’t have any romantic feelings for the girl,” Charles said explaining his plan. “If you fall in love with her, then all our plans will fall apart.”
Ren shrugged. “I can’t fall in love, anyway.”
“Good,” said Charles. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Ren observed the ten-year-old girl and rolled his eyes. He could never have any romantic feelings toward a mature and sexy woman, let alone a child like her.
He only used women to warm his bed. He couldn’t love them or spend any good time with them. However, for some reason, the girls did not give up. They always swarmed around him like flies.
Even though he treated them badly, they were not angry, and always came back to him. One of the girls who were so devoted to him was Amelia Genevieve, the daughter of his mother’s best friend.
Amelia was an extraordinarily beautiful, very smart, educated, and classy girl. But even such a perfect girl could not attract his heart. Then of course … this little kid was never going to affect him even a bit, Ren thought.
“So … we have to wait for ten years?” asked Ren finally.
“That’s right,” said Charles. “We have to be patient and do it right. After she is kidnapped, you will ‘save her’ and make her fall in love with you. After she becomes your wife, we will give you some time together. We have to make sure she really falls in love with you to death. … until she can’t live without you.’
“How many years should we spend time together then?” Ren asked decisively.
“Five years. Once she gets used to living with you and loves you so deeply, we reveal her true identity and return her to her parents, and then she would definitely never want to part ways with you,” Charles explained.
“That’s the goal we are pursuing. You have to treat her well and make sure she falls in love with you, deeply and sincerely. Later when we enter the Alchemist clan, you can find out the whereabouts of Aldebar who keeps the formula for immortality elixir. We’ll take it from Aldebar and make our own elixir. If this works out, we can rule the world.”
Ren gripped his chair until his fingers turned white when he heard about the elixir of immortality. In the past, if only his father got that potion, his genius father could be saved and he did not have to die young.
However, Caspar Schneider, the Alchemists clan leader denied him of that elixir. Someone as talented and genius as Friedrich Neumann who could do so much for the world.
Yet, they would just give it to any random man who married into the clan.
It was unimaginable what kind of contribution Friedrich Neumann would be able to give for humanity today if he did not die at the age of 23.
Ren himself, at the age of 20 years had done and achieved so many great things. He continued his father’s dream to take humans to explore outer space.
He became the director in SpaceLab at the age of 20 after previously teaching at the university for two years.
“If we had the elixir of immortality, then we can determine the precious human beings who deserve to be given eternal life so that they can make a major contribution to the world,” said Charles. “Now, it feels like the elixir of immortality is wasted in the hands of the Alchemists who hid in the shadows and gave the potion to just anyone who married their clan members. What a waste.”
Ren agreed with his uncle. There were so many injustices in this world. There were people who were very kind, smart, and could bring enormous benefits to the world but have to die earlier than those who didn’t contribute anything to humanity.
Ren thought it was so unfair that things had to run like this.
“I guess, it would be hard to win over that girl if you don’t have any added value to yourself,” said Charles after thinking for a moment.
He glanced at a book in the cupboard and saw its title. It was a book called The Little Prince. He then remembered that Ren was the son of a Moravian royal princess.
He was even almost adopted by his uncle, Hannah’s brother who was a prince. That was why until now Ren still bore the last name Hanenberg.
“What are you thinking, Uncle?” asked Ren.
“We have to make you a prince,” said Charles firmly. “If you become a prince, I’m sure, no girl will be able to reject you. Not even Vega Linden.”
“But, I’m not a prince,” said Ren. “King Gustave never acknowledged me as his grandson.”
“We’ll force him to recognize you as a prince of the royal line of Moravia,” said Charles. “Furthermore, we will take the Moravian throne for you. We will give a lesson to that proud royal family!”
Ren frowned. He really hated his mother’s family, who seemed to throw Princess Hannah away after she refused to be married to a prince from Spain.
Hannah and the man had been engaged since they were children as a means of strengthening the relationship between the two royal families.
However, the Spanish prince named Valentino was very mean to Hannah and he made her try to run away many times until Hannah met Friedrich, Ren’s father.
The Moravian royal family did not want to recognize Hannah’s marriage to a commoner like Friedrich. Even until now, they also did not recognize Ren as a grandson. Ren hated them so much because of how they treated his parents.
Now, when he heard of his uncle Charles’s plan to teach a lesson to the Moravian royal family, his pair of honey eyes were beaming.
That’s right … the Moravian owed something to his family. Ren would collect it until it was paid off, complete with its interest.
“I want to take revenge on them and take Moravia out of their hands,” Ren said to Charles in a stern voice. “What must we do so that I can become the ruler of Moravia?”
“We have to get rid of the next king candidate. If all of their male heirs are gone … then they have no other choice but to call you home and make you the heir to the throne,” said Charles.
Ren nodded in understanding. He liked the idea. Today, the crown prince of Moravia was his cousin named Prince Heinrich. He was appointed heir to the throne after his father died in an accident.
If Ren could get rid of Heinrich and made sure that all of his cousins had no sons, then he would be the Hanenberg family’s only hope.
“I like the plan,” said Ren, smiling faintly.
“We have to do it very slowly and not attract attention. Right now, you can focus on your work at SpaceLab, let me take care of everything in Moravia,” said Charles. “You have to coordinate with some hackers who can help us find some information.”
“Hackers?” Ren seemed to be smiling faintly. “I happen to be a hacker too.”
Charles frowned. He didn’t think there were still things about his nephew that he didn’t know about.
“Are you a good hacker?” asked Charles. He was also studying information technology and he had a decent amount of skills, but he wouldn’t want to rely on himself to do all the hacking work. He was better off hiring an expert hacker.
Ren nodded. “I’m pretty good. Until now, I am still unbeatable in the Darknet.”
“What’s your name on the Darknet?” asked Charles curiously.
“Skia,” replied Ren.
Skia means Shadow. He chose that name because he liked to lurk in the dark and never showed himself openly in the community. Not many people knew him.
Charles shrugged. He didn’t know that name, which meant that Skia was not a tough hacker.
“Hmmm … I guess we still have to hire someone else to do the job for us. Maybe it’s good to hire Wolf. Right now, he’s the world’s best hacker,” said Charles.
Ren shook his head. “I beat Wolf once and I know who he is.”
“What did you say?” Charles couldn’t believe what he just heard.

If you read the book synopsis, I put this quote:
“When did you know you will marry me?”
“Ten years ago. When I first saw you.”
Now you know, what that means.. Oh, poor, poor Vega. T_T
