People initially thought they would see a rustic servant ignorant of gestures and actions, perhaps even causing a commotion. However, they were surprised to see a beautiful and graceful young lady, so the stark contrast melted away the elegance and beauty of Felicia, shifting everyone's attention to Emma.Regardless, this third daughter was genuinely legendary. Initially, She was not favored and sent to the countryside, but after returning, she stood firmly within the Seldom clan. She even earned the title of a princess through the recognition of King Lycan. This was a rare occurrence in the history of the Blue Moon pack, a feat almost unheard of since its foundation – a true miracle!Facing everyone's curious or admiring gazes, Emma maintained a gentle and elegant demeanor, capturing Alpha Jeffn's unwavering attention as he entered the room. Emma was indeed a brave servant girl. Her words from earlier demonstrated that. But the moment she stepped into the banquet, she transformed int
Seeing everyone's unanimous response, Beta Henry reluctantly nodded and said, "So be it, everyone, let's go."Inside Luna Sandra's heart, she was seething with frustration. She quickly exchanged a glance with Nanny Jane beside her, instructing her to take a step ahead and immediately investigate what was under the plum tree. They had to deal with the unexpected appearance of the body before everyone arrived. However, as Nanny Jane approached the door, she found that everyone was already rushing outside. At that moment, she was detained at the doorway, unable to exit.Emma observed all this and revealed a calm smile.Seventh, Prince Edward noticed this fleeting smile and suddenly grew intrigued, raising an eyebrow. This third young Lady was genuinely mysterious."Seventh Brother, aren't you going to join the commotion?" Alpha Jeffn's voice suddenly interrupted his intense gaze.Edward turned his head and smiled lightly, saying, "Of course, I want to see what's happening as well. Elder
Emma was taken aback, unsure of how to respond. The Grand Chamber was always desiring the wealth of the Third Palace. When the Third Lady was unwell in the past, Luna Sandra took action. Now, the Third Lady was returning everything, which seemed appropriate, but Draco was still just a child. Could he truly understand?"Draco, this matter isn't something your younger brother should worry about. Come home quickly, and don't catch a cold," she said as she tried to pull him away.He still refused to budge, only furrowing his brow and saying, "I want to sit here a little longer.""What happened to you tonight, in the end?" Emma's face turned pale with anger. "Aren't you coming back home?""I'm not coming back!" Draco suddenly raised his voice, and Emma's gaze grew colder. She wasn't without reason for wanting to be a good person. If not for this period where she and Draco supported each other, she wouldn't have bothered to keep him company, risking catching a cold here."Fine, if you don't
Since Luna Sandra's arrival and her conversation with Jadeite, followed by her advice to Felicia, Emma noticed that not only did the news of the First Young Master skipping meals not reach the streets, but Felicia's demeanor had returned to normal, appearing much more composed. Moreover, she saw that this eldest daughter had become even more attentive to dressing and grooming. Emma had a vague sense that Luna Sandra was preparing to deal with her and that Felicia might want to leverage her beauty as a weapon for some significant purpose.A month later, Jadeite was released from his imprisonment. His face no longer resented Emma, but beneath his calm exterior, a strong undercurrent of hostility still flowed.The civil unrest among the commoners was swiftly quelled, and gradually, Blue Moon Pack regained its tranquility. However, this calm didn't last long. Every time a natural disaster occurred, an epidemic would follow. Especially among the commoners, they buried all the sick humans,
Emma said, "You two should act as if nothing has happened. If she is innocent, that's good. But if there's a problem, you must gather solid evidence."Emma didn't wish for another incident like Ori's to happen in the household. However, in life, things often worked out in such a way that the more you wished to avoid something, the more likely it could become a reality.Compared to Ori, who came from a distant place, Hasya grew up within the Seldom clan and was more cautious and meticulous due to her upbringing. She could be considered an intelligent maid. However, the smarter one was, the more susceptible they might become to overconfidence and negligence. Emma wouldn't have noticed if Hasya hadn't been wearing that necklace. Yet, in this world, when women saw beautiful and valuable jewelry, they couldn't resist putting it on, even if they had to hide it under their clothes. Hasya, being a woman, couldn't resist the allure of such beautiful jewelry. Thus, she decided to take the risk.
Emma chuckled softly, her eyes now gleaming with a chilling light. "Even if you go, making the other party believe is difficult."Luther's eyes shifted upward. "What if Miracle accidentally leaks information?"Emma lightly tapped the teacup with her finger and calmly said, "Last time, she failed. She would have been discarded if not for the weaknesses I hold in my hands now. If she betrays me..." She trailed off, her lips curling into a faint smile."And there's one thing I still don't understand," Luther hesitated. "How did the maid know to impersonate the stepmother?"Emma looked at the sky with a heavy expression. Her deep eyes had no bottom. "A true birth mother would love her daughter like a precious gem. That day, the continuous heavy rain prompted a letter demanding a meeting. This isn't something a true mother would do."Suddenly, Luther understood and said, "The Third Miss is indeed cautious."Having died once, it would be deserved if one didn't learn from the experience and
Emily turned her head back, having just finished applying makeup, making her scar appear less prominent. She smiled and said, "Elder sister has arrived. Please have a seat."Felicia chuckled and said, "I have something to discuss with you." Then, she turned to Omega Olivia and added, "Stepmother, you may leave."Omega Olivia seemed hesitant for quite a while, pacing back and forth as if she didn't want to leave, fearing Emily might say something inadvertently. Felicia noticed this and grew even more curious.Emily, completely clueless, asked, "Stepmother, is there something else?"With a stern look, Omega Olivia gave her a pointed glare and left.Felicia carefully examined the wound on Emily's face and commented, "It seems your complexion has improved greatly."Instinctively, Emily touched the scar on her face. It wasn't significantly better, just somewhat improved compared to its initial state. She replied, "It's somewhat better, thanks to Step... I mean, Stepmother's help." She stop
Luna Sandra smiled to ease the tension and said, "Madam, if it weren't urgent, I wouldn't have disturbed you. Here's the situation: my husband has been having constant nightmares for the past few days, and I've been deeply concerned. So, I invited the most renowned mage in the Capital to assess the situation. He suspects that there might be evil energies disturbing our household."The senior lady gave a cold laugh, "Malevolent energies? Where could such things be?"Luna Sandra's expression cooled slightly, her gaze filled with pressure sweeping across everyone. She continued, "I would like Madam's approval to investigate our estates."The senior lady's brows furrowed again. Her eyes emitted a sad, faded look in the candlelight, "What are you talking about? You want to investigate at this time of night?"Luna Sandra calmly replied, "That's correct."The senior lady's brows furrowed more tightly. Just as she was about to speak, Beta Henry furrowed his brows and interjected, "Madam, rece
The second stepmother’s eyes swelled like peaches. If anyone who looked at her would think she was so compassionate.Only she knew how much effort it took to put on this facade, even using the best perfumes layered six or seven times just to make her complexion appear slightly paler.When she saw Felicia dressed in vibrant red, she was initially surprised, but then a bitter smile appeared in her eyes, and she determined not to give her time to change clothes.She grabbed her hand and said, “Quickly come in, senior lady is waiting for you!”Felicia misunderstood the meaning behind these words, becoming even more convinced that her maternal grandmother had passed away.Overwhelmed with joy, she tried to restrain her expression of happiness, intending to brush off the woman’s hand.However, unable to avoid the onlookers, she was forcefully dragged into the main hall by the woman. As soon as she stepped inside, she heard the second stepmother exclaim, “Senior lady, Felicia has returned!”
Emma estimated it to be three months, but in reality, Luna Sandra passed away just a short month after the mourning was announced at Alpha Goode Manor.On that day, before dawn had even broken, representatives from the Goreng family were already knocking on the grand doors of the Seldom family mansion.Carol received the news first and hurriedly came to report, “Luna Sandra has passed away!”Although prepared for it beforehand, upon hearing those words ringing in her ears, she still felt surprised.“Why so soon?” Luther beside her couldn’t help but remark.Carol’s face carried a hint of sarcasm as she replied, “After the Goreng family brought her back, just as the young lady said, they invited the Imperial Physician from the palace to examine her, but the lady’s condition had already deteriorated critically. She refused to take her medicine. The Goreng family tried everything, even inviting a renowned healer from the south, but before that person could arrive in the Capital, Luna Sand
Luna Sandra despised this second maid, her eyes darting around, wide open with surprise. It turned out that every flower, every blade of grass, every door and window, every piece of furniture, and even the mountainside, the dining hall, everything was plastered with yellow talismans.This bizarre scene left Luna Sandra dumbfounded.Miona exclaimed, “This is—”She turned back to look at Luna Sandra, her eyes questioning, but Luna Sandra seemed bewildered, unable to say anything. Nanny Marry breathed a sigh of relief; currently, Luna Sandra was confined to her room, though she ate and took her medicine three times a day as usual. However, the third young lady had quietly instructed that no one be allowed to talk to her. Over time, Luna Sandra seemed to forget how to communicate, spending her days in a daze, her nerves gradually deteriorating. Now she even refused to take her medication, constantly claiming to see spirits and sometimes even rolling off the bed. At this moment, her breath
Luna Sandra’s grandmother observed Emma from afar, clad in simple attire, with a graceful figure and gentle footsteps. Her eyes carried a hint of a smile as she appeared, lacking the ostentatious beauty of a moonflower, yet her gentle smile and serene demeanor, with tranquil eyebrows, exuded a rustic elegance, akin to a proud white orchid.Luna Sandra glanced, immediately recognizing Emma’s subtle strength. Such a girl lacked the captivating beauty of Felicia, but concealed her own power and charm. While she seemed plain at first glance, she stood out among a myriad of blooming flowers, inadvertently dominating the room.Emma acknowledged Luna Sandra’s assessing gaze with a calm smile, sincerely addressing her, “Emma pays respects to the maternal grandmother, the first sister-in-law.”Luna Sandra remained silent, her maid Miona astute, stepping forward to support Emma’s hand, carefully assessing her from head to toe, remarking, “The third cousin is exquisite, pure and gentle, generous
He suddenly remembered something, his face darkening. “Has someone angered you?” The words had barely left his mouth when he immediately felt regret. Tentatively, he reached out, lifting her face, a tear as cold as ice falling onto his hand without warning. Clearly cold as it was, the young man’s heart felt as if it had been scorched in an instant, a pain inexplicable.Emma raised her head, her eyes devoid of tears, as if the tear in his hand was merely an illusion. She smiled gently, whispering to the confused young man, “Younger brother...”Now, the only person she could fully rely on was him.If possible, she hoped, he would not change throughout his life.“I won’t let anyone bully you.” The young man reached out, stroking her soft hair.Emma was stunned, then immediately smiled. At this moment, she thought the young man was joking, but later discovered she had been mistaken.Today, Dan rode a horse straight to the Seldom family’s residence.Dan hurried to Emma’s side, kneeling dow
The king, very suspicious. So everything that happened today was within Emma’s calculations.Emma turned away, and the distant fire cast an uncertain flickering light on her face. Her voice was calm, so ordinary that nobody could sense the unprecedented fatigue beneath it. She said, “I did this for the Seventh Prince’s own good.”Edward looked at her in surprise.Emma continued, “Today’s events, on the surface, Luna Daisy, were reprimanded by King Lycan. However, King Lycan knows he wronged Luna Daisy and even contemplated assassination. King Lycan will conclude that someone overwhelmed with jealousy against his beloved consorts plotted against Luna Daisy, always so gentle. Tell me, who will think King Lycan is a threat and resort to taking action against her?”“You intentionally chose Luna Meria?” Edward looked at her in disbelief.“That’s right, Luna Meria’s second son, who is also my Second Elder Brother, was married into the Alpha Male’s household. He has a legitimate daughter who
King Lycan’s face turned purple with anger, and he ordered an investigation. The result of the investigation found a wooden nameplate hanging from the waist of one of the palace maids, used for distinguishing the maids. This nameplate was traced back to Luna Daisy’s palace.At that moment, the expressions of everyone present changed dramatically.Luna Daisy had always been highly favored by King Lycan and had remained unshaken in her position for many years. But now, King Lycan was furious as he held up the wooden nameplate meant to distinguish the palace maids and threw it strongly in Luna Daisy’s direction, saying, “Luna Daisy, is this the good deed you’ve done?”Luna Daisy’s face suddenly turned pale. She had been in the palace for many years and had seen her fair share of such situations, but she had never witnessed King Lycan this furious. Overwhelmed by the sudden catastrophe, she was so frightened that she almost collapsed on the ground. Her usually sharp mind went blank, and s
Luna Meria, upon hearing these words, displayed anger and bitterness on her face, saying, “Emma, if it weren’t for your desire to compete with Naomi, how could she end up in this state? Everything is because of you...”Monami looked at Luna Meria with sympathy and believed that this had nothing to do with Emma. If it weren’t for Naomi’s haughty attitude, Emma wouldn’t have wanted to compete with her. Furthermore, her injury was an unfortunate accident. Just as Monami was about to speak, Emma gently interrupted, saying, “Miss Monami, I have a few words to speak with my aunt. Could you step out for a moment?”Monami was a wise and tactful young lady who understood human nature. She believed Emma wanted to explain things to Luna Meria, so she smiled and said, “Of course I’ll leave for now. I’ll find you later.” As she observed the behavior of many young noble ladies who were often haughty, Monami, with her martial family background, admired Emma’s straightforward, intelligent, and courag
“Carol, present your treasure to the Seventh Prince,” Emma gestured.Carol approached Emma with a stony face and retrieved a bronze mirror from within her clothes, and Edward quickly understood.“I asked Carol to pay attention to the surroundings. When that person shot the arrow, she signaled me,” Emma explained simply. Many complex details, such as how Carol had detected Samuel, how she had chosen the perfect moment, and how they had communicated, remained unspoken, but Edward still understood.It was all part of a carefully orchestrated plan.Emma invited Naomi to the horse race, but in reality, she had intended for Naomi to die in her place.Edward asked, puzzled, “Why did you choose Naomi? From what I know, you are ruthless and wouldn’t spare the innocent.”Emma chuckled and replied, “Some people have been noticing Luna Meria and Naomi coming to Luna Daisy’s camp the past few days. They wondered why they were so concerned about me. I thought I should repay their kindness in some w
