Luna Sandra let out a light sigh of relief. She knew that while the old lady currently disliked Felicia, the fact remained that Felicia was still a member of the Seldom family. In front of outsiders, the old lady wouldn't be too harsh on her. Smiling at Felicia, she said, "Let's go in."Felicia's joy was evident as she gently stepped forward beside Luna Sandra. Of course, along the way, her presence drew numerous admiring glances. Felicia's beauty had been the talk of the royal court for a long time, and although many had seen her before, each time felt like the first. Standing there now, she seemed to radiate light, illuminating the entire garden. However, everyone's attention was divided between Felicia and Beta Henry's third daughter, Emma. With her status as the third princess Emma, Emma had been granted the title of Duchess Emma by King Lycan. This was quite surprising to many, and now the fact that the third princess was being specially brought to the banquet by the dowager of t
The noble ladies glanced at each other, sensing this was a great opportunity. Under normal circumstances, if the young ladies of prestigious families were to reveal themselves, it might not be favorable. However, in this case – it was an intimate banquet. There was no need to impress the noble sons and even the princes who were present. If they gained favor here, they could rise higher. Moreover, this was a chance for fame only once in a millennium. If they missed it, there would be no second chances!Only Emma, her smile carrying a hint of malice, looked at Jacky with amusement. The fifth prince's actions were indeed not without reason. He had accurately assessed Felicia's proficiency in art and poetry and believed she would shine brightly. This would allow him to turn the tables on the image of defeat in front of the princess and the others. Jacky, who grew up in the countryside and possessed far less talent than the refined young ladies, couldn't show off casually. Otherwise, he wo
As soon as she finished speaking, the expressions on everyone's faces changed. Although Princess Christina had experienced the pain of losing her husband, her personality had always been composed and gentle, never uttering such harsh words.Christina snorted coldly, "The first daughter of the Seldom family is skilled in playing the instrument. She must have spent quite some time practicing. All her time has been devoted to this, so she had no time to learn the moral principles of society. Unsurprisingly, she would intentionally cause trouble for the country and the people."Everyone fell silent as if struck dumb. Felicia felt like someone had poured cold water over her, her face paling.Seeing the innocent woman being wrongly accused, the fifth prince hurriedly spoke, "Miss Seldom is a young lady of the noble families. Her consideration for the well-being of the common people is indeed rare. His Majesty has already pardoned her, so there's no need to blame her."Princess Christina lau
At this moment, Prince Eighth suddenly stood up, his eyes widened in astonishment, and he exclaimed, "Everyone, look!"Everyone turned their attention, and a black dot suddenly appeared in the middle of the pure white folding screen. Then, it transformed into three flowers. The music became slightly faster, and the subsequent flower grew larger and larger. What surprised everyone the most was that, following the movement of Emma's wrist, the just-drawn flower seemed to awaken from a deep sleep. It slowly bloomed outward, unfolding and expanding until it was fully open... Such a blooming process, under the focused gaze of everyone, was quickly completed.Faintly like dancing clouds in the high sky; Faintly like dewdrops condensing into tears;Faintly like an eagle soaring out of a vast forest, like a small rabbit escaping from a sturdy cage.Emma's dance was gentle, graceful, and flowing. With her dance, small and large flowers intertwined, petals overlapping, some petals shyly closing
Luna Sandra gave a chilly look, her voice low and composed, "Hmph, I don't think so. He's always been adept at hiding his archery skills. I'm afraid he's employing cunning strategies!" Ultimately, she always disliked Third Prince's humble background. No matter what he did, she felt uneasy about it. However, Felicia beside her transformed from a dispirited expression to a radiant one.Emma glanced over, her smile turning cold, and she resumed biting into the apple.At this moment, Alpha Jeffn turned around and chuckled as he addressed Edward, "Seventh younger brother, it's your turn."The apples pierced by the arrows were laid out before him. Edward gazed briefly, then smiled, "Indeed, the Third older brother is truly skilled in archery."Edward took hold of the bow and arrows. Before anyone could react, a hand had already pierced the first apple. Just as everyone tensed up, suddenly, everything halted. Then, a crisp sound echoed as all the apples burst into pieces. Swiftly, the icy ar
Ninth Princess withdrew from her thoughts and said, "I once asked Father for this chessboard, but he didn't grant it. I didn't expect it to be gifted to you, older sister!"Jacky chuckled, "Father treats you exceptionally."Just then, Ninth Princess gestured and said, "Linda, bring me some refreshments."A graceful maidservant, as supple as a willow branch in the breeze, elegantly brought the refreshments over. Jacky was engrossed in the chess game, but his eyes suddenly caught sight of a hand as white as jade slowly placing refreshments on the table. His surprise followed the arm's movement, and he was struck as if by lightning, his body momentarily paralyzed, and his consciousness seemed to soar into the sky.This maidservant was indeed exceptionally beautiful!Seeing Jacky's unblinking gaze, the maidservant responded with a charming smile, her face radiant as a blooming flower, utterly captivating. At this moment, Jacky realized he was entranced, he cleared his throat with an awkwa
After the seventh prince finished speaking, the young girl's smooth skin immediately blushed: "When the seventh prince mentioned it, my father also mentioned it to Her Majesty about it when I was young...""Is it that your father said that the seventh prince was very clever and willful when you were young?" Suddenly, a clear voice sounded in the hall. Edward looked up and saw Emma standing on the steps with a smile.Edward raised an eyebrow, surprised that the maid had come before him. Indeed, it was unexpected.Because attending the party, Emma wore a dress adorned with hundreds of daisies, intentionally choosing simple colors that complemented her healthy and rosy complexion, making her look radiant and captivating. At this moment, her bright eyes were looking at him.Suddenly, Edward saw Emma's beautiful and smiling face, he was mesmerized, and a spark of interest flickered in his eyes.This sudden kindness felt like stealing without any apparent reason, and he didn't believe this
At this moment, Elly was unaware that she was being observed by someone else. She carefully won Edward's favor, saying, "Seventh Prince, I am proficient in Sourire. I can translate for you."Edward raised an eyebrow and glanced at Elly; her bright and charming smile appeared innocent, not giving any clues. However, he knew that Emma wouldn't casually bring up these matters; she wasn't someone who idled away her time without reason."Oh? Translate for me? You're quite attentive," Edward's cheerful tone had a touch of coldness.Elly sensed the change in his tone. Her eyes teared up, her gaze misty, revealing an enchanting and alluring beauty that could make anyone's heart race. "Seventh Prince, has your servant done something wrong?"Edward touched the rosary and spoke slowly, "It's a family heirloom. Why offer it to me?"Elly, tremblingly, explained, "Our ancestors were traditionalists. They didn't even consider passing on this formation, even in times of poverty. But I'm just a lowly
