Chapter 485

作者: Laughing Riot
Sebastian said nothing. Looking back now, he didn't even fully understand how things had come to this between him and Lilia.

It all began the day he rushed into the flames to save her. After that, Lilia seemed to have claimed him as her own. She demanded his constant attention, refused her medicine if she couldn't see him, and eventually insisted she would marry him.

But in truth, what did any of this have to do with love between a man and a woman? They had never spoken of love or shared any real feelings. He didn't love Lilia, nor did he love Sally. He truly didn't have feelings for anyone at all.

"My lord, Princess Lilia wants to marry you to improve your reputation. But I want to be with you for your health," Sally said, stepping forward.

Sebastian's first instinct was to stop her. But this time, Sally didn't hesitate. She walked slowly to the edge of the bed and sat down, then lifted her hands to her waist and began to undo her clothes.

  • Provoking a Graceful Bloom   Chapter 564

    After all the eating and drinking, the banquet finally drew to a close.Wilfred left, along with Adelaide and a few of the other concubines. Isolde hadn't said a word to Nathaniel, and even left without sparing him a single glance. Her exit was brisk and decisive.Selena knew that mother and son still didn't see eye to eye. Whatever plans Isolde and the Whitmore family had set in motion, the Demon Lord wasn't necessarily inclined to follow.Tonight, his mother had forced him to reveal his face in front of his father. From now on, no matter whether he obeyed her and the Whitmore family or followed Wilfred's wishes, the path ahead for Nathaniel could never be as calm as it once was.Despite having already drunk more than usual tonight, the prince was still drinking. His mask had fallen somewhere, completely discarded. Likely discarded as well was the calm, quiet life he had once known.With so many people and so much chatter at the banquet, Selena couldn't say much to him. If he kep

  • Provoking a Graceful Bloom   Chapter 563

    Nathaniel revealing his face was undoubtedly the most shocking moment of the evening for all the young ladies. They had assumed that Selena being with him was unfair to the stunning woman, but no one had expected that the prince was a man of unparalleled beauty.Seeing Nathaniel now, it was clear that he and Selena were a match made in heaven. The way they complemented each other outshone even the previous pairing of Frederick and Selena.Frederick had been the center of attention at the banquet, the one every lady's gaze had followed. But now, with the Obsidian Monarch's face revealed, Frederick faded into the background.The shock that had left the men wide-eyed and the women gasping finally softened with a gentle cough from Isolde.She smiled at Wilfred and said, "There were still a few scars, but they were quite minor. Nate simply wanted everything to be perfect before removing the mask."Her voice was soft and gentle. To Wilfred, it sounded more comforting than ever before.

  • Provoking a Graceful Bloom   Chapter 562

    Wilfred suddenly rose to his feet. He stared at Nathaniel's face, his expression betraying his excitement. "If it's already healed, why do you still wear the mask?"Nathaniel said nothing. Selena felt the chill radiating off him, stronger than ever. She was powerless to do more than secretly tug at his coat. Isolde clearly intended for him to stand before everyone again and was already setting her plans in motion."Nate wanted to surprise you, Your Majesty. So, he didn't remove the mask ahead of time," Isolde said, rising as well. She looked at Nathaniel and smiled. "Nate, aren't you going to take it off?"Since even Wilfred had risen to his feet, no one dared remain seated. Everyone around them stood. After a brief moment of silence, Nathaniel rose as well, and Selena quickly stood beside him.Now that Nathaniel was upright, everyone could see him clearly. He was tall, easily a head above Selena and taller than most of the men nearby. He moved with effortless grace, his build so f

  • Provoking a Graceful Bloom   Chapter 561

    It wasn't hard to understand why the young ladies felt so conflicted about Nathaniel.His build was truly rare—tall, broad-shouldered, and striking. If anything, he was even more imposing than Frederick.In short, if one didn't look at his face and judged only by his figure, Nathaniel had the most perfect and captivating physique any of them had ever seen. But he wore a half-mask at all times. The black, cold mask gave him an almost fearsome air, like some legendary warrior.No one truly knew what he looked like. After his face was ruined, were there scars? Had his features been completely altered? Imagine waking up in the dead of night and seeing your husband's face completely ruined. Who wouldn't be frightened?"Lady Campbell really had no choice. She broke off the engagement with Prince Frederick. No son of the capital's high society would dare marry her now. You don't expect her not to marry at all, right?"For Selena, the disfigured prince was already her best option. In truth

  • Provoking a Graceful Bloom   Chapter 560

    What caused the excitement at tonight's banquet to reach its peak was indeed a betrothal announcement, yet it wasn't Sebastian and Lilia's, but Frederick and Mira's.Wilfred had also decreed that Mira would be wed to Frederick!As Andrew finished reading the royal edict, the hush that had settled over the hall quickly fell apart. Whispers and murmurs spread through the crowd. Though no one spoke loudly, the room buzzed with lively chatter.No wonder Mira had been with Frederick all evening. They had even just returned from the garden together. The Luminous Monarch and Frederick seemed unusually friendly too, drinking side by side and sharing easy conversation. It was clear this marriage had long been planned.Selena sipped her fruit wine, her expression calm and betraying nothing. Beside her, Nathaniel lowered his gaze and glanced at her quietly.Selena leaned in and whispered, "What is it? Afraid I have thoughts about it? If I told you that Prince Frederick just said to me that t

    "Going to leave it at that? Not going to chase after her? This is your last chance."The voice came from behind, sudden and laced with a teasing, almost mocking tone. Frederick felt a sharp pang in his chest.He whipped around, eyes blazing. "You'd better understand the nature of your relationship with me. Meddling in matters that don't concern you won't bring you any good."Mira stepped forward slowly, the corner of her mouth curved in a smile that carried an unmistakable edge of sarcasm. "Your Highness, you know full well that your actions just now threatened our plans. That is why I'm reminding you. It is not meant as any form of disrespect."She claimed it wasn't disrespect, yet the chill in her manner said otherwise. Frederick felt anger rise in his chest.Mira sighed softly, and the smirk on her lips faded. "Very well. I understand your feelings, Your Highness. I only feel it's a shame for you.""Whether it's a shame is mine to decide, not yours," Frederick snapped."Your
