A Step Towards Revenge

The following day, the entire palace had been adorned with stunning decorations and was prepared to receive the guests. Since the engagement had been arranged hastily, only guests from the capital city were invited, including numerous noble and prestigious families.

By early noon, everything was in place, and guests began arriving at the palace. The second Prince, Lenard, and his wife, Miera, were present to personally welcome the guests, representing the royal family.

It raised concerns among the servants, but they could only follow the orders from the Oak Palace, coming directly from the King.
