The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 1030

Zayn looked visibly displeased. He had never seen Felix before, but he trusted the reports from his subordinates. Felix had definitely entered Echo Cavern, so what was going on now?

After separating from Nerissa, Felix turned to Wilson, clasping his hands in respect. "Mr. Xavier, I greet you. I've come today to formally propose marriage and to select the best date to marry Nerissa."

Wilson was momentarily stunned, struggling to process what was happening. He even began to wonder if all the talk about Echo Cavern was a joke. Otherwise, how could Felix still be alive?

"So, you're the Felix mentioned in the marriage contract?"

Felix nodded with a smile. "That's correct. I've come to honor that prenuptial agreement."

Before anyone could respond, Zayn's voice cut through. "Westley Xavier, who arranged that prenuptial agreement, hasn't been seen in quite some time. Do you really think that agreement still holds? Even if you miraculously survived Echo Cavern, do you think you're worthy of Nerissa?"

Felix frowned and asked plainly, "And who are you?"

Zayn's expression darkened instantly.

One of his subordinates barked, "Impudent! This is the sixth prince of the royal family! How dare you disrespect him?"

Felix was caught off guard. He hadn't expected this person to be a member of the royal family. But what of it?

"A refined lady is admired by noblemen, and in matters of love, everyone stands as equals. You have your rights, just as I have mine. If Nerissa wishes to go with you, I'll have nothing more to say," Felix said.

Nerissa's reply, however, left no room for doubt. "My fiancé has returned, so this matter no longer concerns you, Your Highness. I'm sorry."
