Chapter 168 The Princess Of C Island
Nina lowered her eyes, her long lashes concealing the emotions in her eyes. She held the coffee cup with one hand and stirred the contents with the spoon she held in the other hand.
She affected an air of nonchalance.
"I'm from C Island, but I am not aware that the princess has escaped." Nina looked up at Noah.
The two people looked calmly at each other.
Noah averted his eyes and said in a level tone, "The royal family of C Island sent someone to Spring City in the hopes that the director of the police station could send people to secretly look for her. The director sent people to search the city for her, but failed. He presumed that she had left the city. He then contacted all the major police stations in the country and given orders for them to look for her secretly. This matter has already been relayed to the chief of police, who has deemed this matter to be of utmost importance."
Nina listened quietly. "So...Director Shen gave you this order?"
"Yes. Director Shen wants me to find her as soon as possible and then notify C Island of her whereabouts so that they could bring her back," Noah said calmly. He took out a photo from his pocket and placed it on the table in front of Nina.
"Nina, you are the princess of C Island." Noah tried his best to calm himself down, but his voice was tremb
and's royal family, which had full control of its economic power, was even more influential and richer by comparison.
Nina was a member of this illustrious clan.
Bruce Lu, her father, was the king of C Island, and her mother, the former international actress Anne, was its queen. Her brother, Leon Lu, was the future heir.
Therefore, Nina's status was extremely lofty, and she was brought up as befitting her birthright.
However, she had been placed under tremendous pressure ever since she was a child.
For as long as she could remember, she was seldom in the company of her parents; instead, she was constantly accompanied by a small army of educators—five language teachers, one martial arts master, one vocal coach, three dance instructors, piano tutors, and etiquette trainers, as well as different teachers for painting and calligraphy.
All in all, Nina had so many teachers that could barely keep track of all of them.
The teachers were only doing their jobs and earning their salaries. Her brother, Leon, was the only person who treated her with a warmth that family could give, but he was also very busy himself.
When she was eighteen years old, her father told her that she would be engaged to the new count of the Nangong family upon her coming of age.
That night, she ran away from home.
