Provoking a Graceful Bloom Chapter 470
"Decision about what?" Sebastian asked, genuinely puzzled.Selena could only sigh in exasperation. Not everyone seemed to have a heart tuned to matters of love. Some people were naturally oblivious, it seemed. In her brother's mind, affairs of the heart were apparently optional. If he remained clueless, what were the two young women supposed to do?Sebastian didn't linger on the thought. Seeing Sally calling them, he hurried over.Though there was a slight rift between the two of them, neither let it distract them for a moment when it came to work. Everyone at Blackmoor Estate threw themselves into preparing for the banquet. Who had the mind to worry about liking or loving anyone?By evening, the banquet arrangements were nearly complete. Nathaniel arrived first, and even he looked surprised at the decorations in the courtyard."So, you'd already planned for this day and prepared everything in advance?" he asked, impressed.He thought to himself that his future wife was truly cle

Sally turned and left at once. The situation was urgent, and every moment counted. For three hundred guests, at least forty tables would be needed. Distinguished officials and nobles would be in attendance, so the seating couldn't be cramped. Eight guests per table, with a few extra tables set aside in case families brought additional members.When Sally mentioned three hundred, she meant that Selena should review the guest list. Of course, there was some flexibility. Adjustments of twenty or so were acceptable.Selena and Sebastian went immediately to the study to draft the invitations, with Yuvan ready to deliver them in batches. Suddenly, the entire Blackmoor Estate was in a whirlwind of activity. Even Lilia joined in, offering advice on the menu. Though she couldn't see, she and Sally worked well together, producing surprisingly good suggestions.Sebastian and Selena drafted the guest list carefully. Princes and high-ranking nobles were invited first, while the concubines of the

Most marquises held third-rank titles, and even then, they usually started at the lower tier of that rank, except in rare cases of extraordinary merit. When Sebastian and Selena's father, Thomas, was made Marquis of Whitgrave for his brilliant military exploits, he had been elevated to the second rank. Even then, he still started at its lower tier.But today, Sebastian's own title as Marquis of Northwatch was full second rank, a distinction that broke with tradition. As Sally said, it was truly unprecedented, the very first of its kind. Such a title certainly justified marrying a princess of Dawnmere.It was clear that Wilfred viewed the Duke of Blackmoor's household in a very special light."Greetings, Mr. Smith," Selena said, entering the hall.Whenever anyone saw her, her figure was always breathtakingly graceful.Andrew smiled warmly. "Lady Campbell, you're well, I hope.""I am. Thank you for making the trip, Mr. Smith. My brother and I are truly grateful," Selena replied, st

Although Nathaniel commanded immense power at the Northern Frontier, this was the capital. His greatest support here came from Isolde's family, especially since he hadn't brought much of an army with him at all.Every prince had at least thirty thousand troops stationed around the city. By contrast, the Obsidian Monarch only had three thousand personal guards. To put it bluntly, Nathaniel could hardly protect himself if anything serious happened.If news that he had attacked his own brother reached Wilfred, Nathaniel would surely face punishment, as the king despised any bloodshed between siblings.So, why had the Obsidian Monarch kidnapped Theodore, merely to strike him? What could he possibly hope to gain? Emma couldn't fathom it."The other person..." Theodore hesitated, frowning more deeply with each passing moment. "I'm not sure who it was, but I think it was a woman."The sound of the footsteps had been light and delicate, almost like a girl's. There had even been a faint, s

"Mother, I was truly set up."Theodore recounted every detail of the previous night to Emma, leaving nothing out. The more she heard, the tighter she clutched the handkerchief in her hand. In other words, someone powerful was targeting her son."Two people?" she asked, hardly able to believe it.They had even dared to attack her son. Whoever those two were, they must have nerves of steel!"Are you certain you don't know who it was?" she questioned.Her son was no weakling, and Tranquil Estate was heavily guarded. It wasn't easy for anyone to break in, let alone carry him off. Those two were definitely exceptional fighters, their skills far beyond what anyone could estimate."I… I just have a feeling…" Theodore hesitated."You know who it was?" Emma's heart skipped. So, he did know something. "Then, why didn't you tell your father?""I… I dared not.""Dared not? Who could make you fear speaking?"Emma's mind spun. He was a high-ranking prince, for heaven's sake!"I… I really

"Sebastian Campbell, you hypocrite! Why must you put on airs in front of me?" Theodore snapped.At that moment, the prince wished he could tear the seemingly righteous expression from Sebastian's face. He was nothing but a fraud!"You gave Princess Lilia that disguise and made her look ugly on purpose. Surely that was you and your sister's idea! Do you really think I'm so blind I won't see through it?"Sebastian wanted to respond, but ultimately said nothing. There was no need to argue with someone like Theodore. They had already achieved what they wanted. What anyone else thought or felt was no concern of theirs.However, Lilia couldn't bear to see Sebastian slighted in any way.She snorted. "Sebastian had nothing to do with it. He isn't scheming or cunning like that."A schemer like Theodore actually dared to call Sebastian hypocritical? What a joke!"So, you were in on it too?" Theodore glared at Lilia, gritting his teeth. "You really don't want to marry me?""Of course I do
