“Since that’s the case, why don’t we stick around and enjoy the show? It might just turn into a good story for the future, don’t you all agree?” Seeing that things were spiraling beyond control, someone called out loudly, hoping to use the crowd’s presence to settle the marriage quickly and move on to the next phase of the plan.“Yeah, absolutely!” Who wouldn’t want to watch the drama unfold? The crowd eagerly agreed.Watching the instigators stirring up trouble, Lord Fitzroy sneered inwardly. He leaned down and instructed his steward to take note of these agitators and follow them closely after the situation was resolved, making sure to deal with them one by one.Everyone was excitedly preparing to witness the scene when suddenly, a woman’s voice rang out from the crowd: “Is that Lord Steven of Jasendale up ahead?” A gray-clad elderly woman, dragging along a young woman in a blue dress with her face covered by a light veil, pushed her way through the crowd and came right up to the fr

In front of Fitzroy Manor, the crowd surged with suspicion and accusations. Sweat beaded down Steven's forehead—what he thought was a flawless setup had been effortlessly dismantled. That woman in green was clearly determined to expose him, and her talk of facing off in court was nothing more than a diversion to buy time and shift the crowd's attention. If this continued, his master’s grand scheme would surely fall apart.He needed to act quickly to turn the situation around!The woman in green pressed on relentlessly. "Clearing up this matter is actually very simple. We only need to wait two more months for evidence from Jasendale. Once the proof is here, it will be crystal clear who is innocent and who is guilty. Lord Steven, why are you so afraid to wait? What secrets are you hiding?"Wait two months? Nonsense! By then, not only would their engagement be proven false, but his impersonation of Steven would be exposed as well. More importantly, Fitzroy, that sly old fox, would likely

This girl, she actually suspects he wants to kill someone?If he were to kill someone, she’d be the first!Noticing Reginald’s clear irritation, Miranda stuck out her tongue. Just then, Molly brought in tea, and Miranda eagerly took it, handing it to him personally. She said, “It was small-minded of me to think that way about you, Lord Reginald. Rest assured, both Fitzroy and Croyso are capable enough to keep someone hidden without letting her ruin things.”Seeing that she still worried he might kill the old woman to keep her quiet, Reginald sneered but didn’t argue, nor did he take the tea. He merely looked at her with a distant gaze.“Lord Reginald?” Miranda called softly, testing his mood.Reginald seemed to realize his anger was somewhat unwarranted. He let out a cold snort, abruptly stood, turned away, and said icily, “Do whatever you like, as long as it doesn’t mess things up.” Without using the main exit, he leapt out of the open window in one swift move, leaving the inn behind

In the evening, upon returning to the quiet comfort of his study, Lord Croyso received a letter bearing the familiar seal of Lady Langley. He paused, turning it over thoughtfully before breaking the wax seal and reading her message. She conveyed Lady Fitzroy’s words, raising the topic of Miranda’s marriage. Lord Croyso pondered for a moment before writing, “I’ve actually been thinking about Miranda’s marriage for some time now. I have my eye on Earl Sheffield’s son, Fulton. He has a good temperament, is ambitious, and, from what I can see, he seems quite taken with Miranda. Sheffield and I have a close friendship, and he’s straightforward and trustworthy. For my sake, he’d surely treat Miranda well. I think it’s a promising match, but I’m still considering it.”Since Lady Langley mentioned Miranda’s marriage, Lord Croyso realized he should also start considering Selena’s future.***As the light from her candle flickered across the walls, Lady Langley sat quietly, deep in thought. "Th

Easter was the liveliest day of the year in town. Children darted about, hunting for colorful eggs, while the streets overflowed with people celebrating. Stalls displayed painted eggs and holiday trinkets, creating a vibrant market. For young noblewomen like those of the Croyso family, this day offered a rare opportunity to step outside the confines of their usual restraints, to experience the festive energy freely. It was a chance to mingle, to showcase their grace, and perhaps even to catch a few admiring glances.The Croyso household bustled from dawn, and, after everyone was dressed and ready, they boarded the carriage. With a flick of the reins, the driver set them toward the market, escorted by four family guards. The festivities had drawn throngs, and the streets were packed. Not only the Croyso carriage but several others were also at a standstill along the crowded route.Realizing the delay, Selena lifted the carriage curtain, glanced at the bustling crowds, and suggested, “S
