Provoking a Graceful Bloom Chapter 137
Selena had warned that tomorrow would be eventful, and sure enough, Blackmoor Estate was in an uproar the following day.The Earl of Greymoor's family had arrived once more. This time, every member was present, except the youngest son, who had perished in battle. The two elder sons and their wives, as well as the youngest son's widow, were all present.Today, they were halted at a distance from Lustre Pavilion, not allowed even a step closer to its doors."Impudence!" Stanley roared, slapping the arms of his wheelchair in fury. "You dare bar even me? Who has given you such audacity?"The one blocking their way was Sally.She bowed slightly to each family member before speaking swiftly, "Lord Stanley, you may not know, but the duke has been unwell of late. Physician Klein has seen him and strictly instructed that no visitors disturb his rest. We beg for your understanding.""You insolent girl!" Stanley barked. "Do not dare use Physician Klein to frighten me! I am Gideon's brother,

Selena felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude. What had she done in her life to deserve such a brother? It was for that very reason she vowed to keep him safe, whatever the cost."I know you are a good man, Seb. But it is true that I ruined Freya's body. Even if she bears a child in the future, she will never be able to nurse it as a mother should," she said.At those words, a flush crept over Sebastian's handsome face. Even Sally and Yuvan felt their cheeks burn with embarrassment. Selena herself remained composed, her expression betraying little emotion."Prince Frederick may not have intended to hurt you, but he was complicit nonetheless. And with Lady Ruth watching us so closely, we have reached a point where if we don't resist, we will not survive," she added with calm severity."What do you intend to do?" Sebastian asked uneasily.Selena's eyes darkened for a fleeting moment, then her lips curved into a faint smile. "Nothing much. I am simply thinking that we must find a so

Adelaide escorted Selena to the gates of Serenity Palace."It is late into the night, and I dare not accompany you further lest I trouble you. Besides, my health has been somewhat delicate of late. You have read so many medical texts, so you must remember to visit often, if only to share your knowledge of preserving one's health with me," said the queen.Selena hurriedly inclined her head. "Of course, I shall remember to do so, Your Majesty."Once Selena departed, Layla helped Adelaide back to her chambers.She couldn't help but murmur, "Lady Ruth and Prince Frederick are truly foolish. To have such a remarkable future princess consort, and yet they do not know how to value her!"Adelaide's lips curved faintly. "I suspect Lady Ruth cherishes her well enough, but Prince Frederick is utterly worthless. To forsake Selena for an unruly girl is a mistake he will live to regret."After dismissing the attendants, Layla asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, are you truly resolved to do th

Adelaide remained silent for some time, her heart gradually finding its rhythm again. She understood perfectly what Selena had implied.No matter how talented Benjamin might be, it was a pity he was far too young. And though Wilfred was king, he had a fragile constitution and might not even live to appoint an heir ten years hence.Selena had spoken in a way she dared not make explicit, yet anyone with ears could understand. Such words were perilous indeed. Could she truly be so bold?The queen exhaled slowly, and only after a long pause did she ask, "Lena, has Lady Ruth driven you into a corner?""Partly, yes, but not entirely," Selena replied calmly, meeting her gaze. "There are always paths to try, if one is willing to seek them out."Adelaide pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment.Selena was only seventeen, yet her courage was remarkable. Still, it seemed likely that Ruth had truly cornered her, leaving her no choice but to resist."I have heard that when Prince Fr

What would Ruth do? Of course, she offered no answer to such a question.Selena's mood was plainly sour as she departed.Watching her retreating figure, Anna murmured, "My lady, she carries heavy resentment in her heart. Is there truly any hope for her and Prince Frederick?"However, Ruth appeared in high spirits and was smiling brightly. "If she bore no resentment, then it would truly be impossible. It's precisely because she still harbors some grievance and feels wronged that she still thinks of Fred."Anna's eyes brightened immediately. "I see now! You're so perceptive, my lady. Such insight comes so easily to you!"Ruth lifted her teacup, a glint of sharpness in her eyes. "But the girl remains far too proud. That pride must be tempered by my hand. Otherwise, I will find it quite impossible to keep her in line if she ever enters our household."-As Selena left Harmony Palace, Sally was faithfully waiting at the gate. Seeing her emerge, the young maid hurried to keep pace. Af

"Do you think the title of 'Desert Rose' came to me for no reason?" Freya shot the prince a glare, her eyes full of disdain. "Shall we see how your skill measures up against mine?""Fey, you were injured today. Best not to push yourself," Frederick said, trusting her entirely.Her brother's mastery of mounted archery had been extraordinary, so if she surpassed him, then her own skills were formidable indeed. At last, he would need no one else's aid.The thought of asking Selena for help now was simply unbearable. But if Sebastian didn't join Frederick's team, would he truly side with Theodore? Or perhaps, take an unexpected turn and join the Obsidian Monarch's team?-Selena had spent quite some time at Harmony Palace. At first, Ruth merely made idle conversation, keeping her own concerns private. Meanwhile, Selena merely sipped her tea without pressing for any answers.After at least half an hour of tea and quiet conversation, Ruth finally smiled and said, "You're far steadier a
