“Oh? I heard Miss Paige Sawyer is a fan of the famous music legend, Luna,” Connor said, walking forward in his deep navy suit, swirling the wine in his glass with elegance. “And your piano skills are said to be the best in Avenlith. Might we have the honor of hearing you play tonight?”

The surrounding guests began to gather around, intrigued.

Paige smiled graciously and dipped her head slightly.

“To perform for such esteemed guests is my privilege,” she replied with poise. “I shall not refuse.”

With that, she set down her wine glass and gracefully lifted her gown as she walked toward the grand piano across the room.

Her slender fingers landed lightly on the black and white keys, dancing smoothly in an elegant rhythm.

Under the bright lights, the piano lid reflected a soft, luxurious sheen. The melody floated gently through the air, instantly quieting the crowd.

    Dangerous TrustAfter the press conference ended, Jules collapsed onto the sofa in exhaustion.With a lazy flick of his wrist, he sighed in relief.Finally, he’d managed to escape those overzealous elders.Then something crossed his mind, and his brows furrowed. His voice turned cold as he ordered his assistant,“Find out where that reporter got his intel.”“Yes, sir.”Meanwhile, in AvenlithBriella had no idea what had just unfolded at Jules’s press conference.She rested her delicate chin on one hand, the other still gently holding the small black box.Her gaze was distant, fixed on the window, as the sky outside dimmed with the slow crawl of dusk.Storm clouds rolled in, heavy and low, threatening a downpour.Ding.A soft chime came fro

    “Come, come, Little Briella, take a look at Grandpa’s treasure—you’re going to love it!”Roman accepted the black velvet case from his assistant, his expression smug as he shot a look at Dutton.Dutton’s face remained impassive, though the subtle twitch in his brow said it all.Briella covered her mouth with a hand, trying to stifle a smile.Roman flipped the latch and opened the case. Inside lay a heavy gold medallion, its surface engraved with an intricate crest. Under the morning light, it gleamed with a quiet, dignified luster.He held it with both hands, reverently. Only then did everyone catch a clear view of it.One side bore the emblem of a laurel crown; the other, the delicate engraving of a teacup wreathed in vines.Even the usually composed Dutton couldn’t help a flicker of surprise.“This was a gift from my mentor,” Roman explai

    Early that morning, Briella arrived at the Mortensen family estate, black invitation card in hand.She took a long look at the legendary residence, nodding in quiet approval.No wonder they’re the top among the noble families.Unhurried, she stepped up to the grand, antiquated gates.Presenting the card, she watched as the guard inspected it with great care. Once verified, he returned it respectfully with both hands.“This way, Miss. Please wait in the banquet hall. Someone will inform the masters.”Briella nodded without a word and followed the guard through a side path that led to the grand hall.Once alone, she chose a sofa and sat down casually.Before long, a servant approached with a gentle bow. “May I offer you something to drink, Miss?”“I’m not picky. Just bring me any floral tea you prefer,” she replied with effortless poise.The servant nodded and

    “Koa… Koa, it’s Mommy. What’s wrong, sweetheart? Can you open your eyes and tell Mommy where it hurts?”Briella pressed a gentle palm to his forehead.Burning hot.Her heart skipped a beat.Panic flared inside her as she reached down to feel his wrist, checking his pulse with practiced fingers.Moa stood beside her, wide-eyed and worried.She could sense it—this wasn’t an ordinary fever. Something deeper was wrong.“Mommy… what’s wrong with Koa?” Moa’s voice was soft, her eyes brimming with concern.Briella turned to her with a mother’s instinct, cupping her small face.“Do you feel sick, baby? If anything hurts, you must tell Mommy, okay?”“I’m fine,” Moa said, voice low. “Just a little dizzy earlier… but I feel okay now.”She gently moved Briella’s hand off her forehead an

    Diego withdrew his hand nonchalantly and sat back down.Even from a lower position, his aura remained undiminished—if anything, it seemed even more imposing.“It’s fine. You can change bit by bit, as long as you stay by my side.”His thin lips pressed lightly together, his gaze unusually deep. One hand rested on the desk as he studied her steadily.Briella’s pupils dilated slightly, as if she couldn’t quite comprehend his words.Her voice wavered. “Minister… what do you mean by that?”“What do I mean? Just the literal meaning. I need a woman.”He said it flatly, without the slightest ripple of emot

    “You two rest well tomorrow. I’ll see you the day after.”Briella waved at the car with a serene smile.Alan stuck his head out the window, a grin tugging at his boyish face.“Okay, Skye… Bye!”The car rolled away, his gaze lingering on her figure until it disappeared.Only then did he sink back into his seat, the warm smile fading as that quiet, aloof air returned.“What do you want for dinner tonight?” Princess Winona broke the silence, trying for casual conversation.But Alan, for once, grew stubborn.“Whatever.”Winona slowly tu
