I look to where everyone is looking and spot a lady in a bridal dress. Her dress is white with sequins all over, it sits as a heart cut over her breasts and has off-shoulder puffy sleeves, the lace drapes from her waist and leaves a trail behind her.

" Yuan teased, to see Beatrice roll her eyes. "I think it's time I leave. I'll be back when the Lord arrives." The Duke of Nalish said, as he stood up. "You're leaving?" Melinda asked, her brows knitting to a frown as the man nodded. Grabbing Melinda's hand, Beatrice dragged the woman through the hallway. "What are you doing? Wait, let me say goodbye to the Duke."
