Provoking a Graceful Bloom Chapter 140
Stanley's temper flared the moment Aurora stopped."What do you think you're doing? Strike that whelp down at once! And if anyone dares bar my way, throw them aside! I'm here to see my brother, and I will not have these outsiders interfering!"Emily shrieked in agreement, "Exactly! Aurora, do something! Do you not hear him? He's your late husband's father, as good as your own father!"Besides, the Duke of Blackmoor's household has no heir now. Soon, the duke will adopt our family into his household. My husband will be recognized as the duke's legitimate son, and I shall be his rightful eldest daughter-in-law! Do you refuse to heed both me and Father, Aurora?"Aurora felt a dull roar in her ears, her irritation rising. She calmly looked at Selena and said, "My lady, my lord merely wishes to see his brother. It is no evil deed, I assure you. I beg you, allow him passage."She and her late husband had always held Thomas and Lara in the highest regard. From childhood, they had liked S

Of course, Aurora had no intention of actually breaking Yuvan's legs. But with Stanley present, she had no choice but to subdue him.With a resigned sigh, she struck with full force, aiming to knock Yuvan to the ground. She had no wish to prolong the struggle. The longer it dragged on, the more he would be injured. He was simply no match for her.After parrying two of her attacks, Yuvan had barely begun to regain his breath when Aurora's spear descended once more. This time, it carried such overwhelming inner energy that it pressed down upon him like a mountain, leaving him gasping for air.Yuvan's own skill was formidable, yet it was clear that Aurora's mastery was far beyond his. He raised his sword to block, but even his strength was crushed beneath hers. Soon, he fell to one knee, unable to rise and entirely overpowered."Yuvan!"Sally and two other guards instinctively rushed forward, but Aurora moved with effortless precision. A mere flick of her arm sent the guards flying b

A chill ran through Yuvan.Though he had never faced Aurora in combat, he had often heard of her exploits. She was renowned as a master of mounted archery, formidable in all martial arts skills. He instinctively knew he was no match for her.Moreover, she was a woman of remarkable courage and character. Yuvan held her in the highest esteem and would never dare raise a hand against her.Since Zane had fallen on the battlefield, Aurora seldom appeared in public. It was said that she lived a life of quiet devotion, rarely leaving her chambers, content in a world of contemplation and simplicity. But since she remained a member of Stanley's household, she couldn't refuse when he demanded her presence.As Aurora approached, Yuvan inclined his head respectfully. "My lady, I hope this day finds you well."He had seen her before, though in those days he had been but a boy.Aurora had spent many years in seclusion, living quietly, away from the world. Yet now, seeing someone salute her wit

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
