Arabella Attratcs Attention

The next step, retreated to push Concubine Rose.

"Ah, is that so, Concubine Rose?" Arabella muttered in a weak tone.

"Then, forgive me, Father. If Concubine Rose who is well acquainted with the trend of high-class society says that, I might be wrong."

Rose smiled haughtily, looking pleased that Arabella had given up so easily.

'You can't fight me, little lady,' Rose thought.

Unlike Arabella, she secretly refrained from laughing at Rose. Arabella was deliberately pretending to retreat for now to make Rose move forward.

"Of course, I know very well about high-class trends. I'm sure My Lord will be the main topic in the meeting of heads of noble families this time," said Rose confidently.

' It will be the main topic, but in a different sense. Because Father will only be a mockery of everyone' Arabella thought.

"Okay, if Concubine Rose has said that. At least, I've reminded her because I care about Father," Arabella said. She purposely said that to provoke Concubine Rose's anger.

"You're reminding because you care about My Lord? Then, do you think I don't care about him? Is that what you mean, Lady Arabella?" asked Concubine Rose in a bitter tone. She called Arabella Lady because Vivaldi had repeatedly reminded her to respect Arabella more.

Vivaldi felt that Rose's question was too cynical for his daughter, "There's no need to be so cynical about the official Lady of this residence, Rose. If anyone hears, people might think you don't like Arabella," Vivaldi scolded.

A smile lingered on Arabella's thin cherry red lips, 'She doesn't like me, Father. And you too, right? The proof is, in my last life I died because of all of you ' said Arabella in her heart.

"No, Concubine Rose. You are misunderstanding, and in my sentence, it didn't even say that you didn't care about Father, did you?" replied Arabella. Her teary eyes looked at Vivaldi, "Father, I didn't mean it like that, I just wanted you to know that I care about you" Arabella whispered.

Vivaldi the arrogant man with an empty head of course believed, "See, Rose? You make my daughter sad! Arabella didn't say anything about you she agreed to your suggestion out of respect for you who know more about trends. Don't accuse Arabella carelessly " Vivaldi hissed.

' How dare this lowly woman hurt Arabella's heart, what if after she married the Minister's son and instead expressed her pain while living here? My plans to take advantage of it will be ruined,' Vivaldi growled in his heart.

Orchidia—the second concubine with a kind heart cleared her throat softly, "My Lord, sorry to interrupt. But.. the meeting of the heads of noble families will start soon" Orchidia reminded.

"Ah, that's right. Let's just start breakfast, Arabella doesn't take it to heart about Rose's words. She's just talking nonsense," said Vivaldi.

Finally, they started their breakfast quietly. Arabella ate gracefully, just as she had learned in a past life. Everything, Arabella learned and did over and over again since she woke up in this life so that she could become the perfect person to take her revenge.

Vivaldi got off the Falzen family's carriage with a straight posture, he couldn't wait to be the main topic of today's family heads meeting.

"Good morning, Marquess Falzen," said Count Brown, the father of Concubine Orchidia.

"Good morning, Count Brown. How are you?" Vivaldi replied while shaking his father-in-law's hand.

"Fine, how about your family? Especially, my daughter Orchidia. Is she okay?" asked Count Brown.

" Orchidia is doing well, and now it seems like she is happy because my official daughter is back. They are quite close," said Vivaldi proudly. In a way, the support from the Brown family thanks to his marriage to Orchidia is enough to affect the prosperity of the Falzen family.

"I'm grateful to hear that. I've always been worried about her because she hasn't had children yet, and luckily you have a daughter now. What's her name?"

" Arabella Fay Falzen, she is my daughter with Marchioness Arina Falzen. A sweet child, full of manners, and her words are very pleased to hear " Vivaldi praised Arabella.

"Who did you say?" said a man in a cold tone.

All the heads of families who had just arrived and were still in the courtyard of the palace meeting hall turned their heads, Julian Malven Kingston stood tall with a cold face looking at Vivaldi.

He just asked like that, and everyone was frozen. Julian's aura is not kidding.

"Who do you ask, Grand Duke?" replied Vivaldi in a polite tone full of respect.

Julian Malven Kingston, first son of Duke Kingston or Minister of Security. His mother is the younger brother of King Felicio Malven, that's why the name Julian uses the name of the royal family as well as the Duke's family. The man has the highest power after the King. He was supposed to be the successor of the Duke family, but His Majesty the King did not want his nephew to fight over the inheritance rights with his younger brother so he gave the title of Grand Duke to Julian who did have a lot of achievements.

Even the nobles could not protest, Julian's mounting achievements in guarding and strengthening the kingdom were too much to make all the nobles silent.

"To you, Marquess Falzen," Julian said.

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't realize it. The name of my daughter who just arrived in the capital is Arabella Fay Falzen, Grand Duke," Vivaldi replied.

"I invite Lady Arabella to my residence tomorrow at 3 pm, I'm waiting," said Julian in a cold tone and then walked away. Not waiting for Vivaldi's answer, because it is certain that Vivaldi who is only a Marquess cannot refuse the request of Julian who is a Grand Duke.

The whispers of the nobles were heard, all this time Julian, who was 21 years old, had entered adulthood and was able to get married. However, he always rejects any woman who approaches him. Julian was never really interested in women.

But what is this? Julian even invited Arabella.

Vivaldi's lips pulled into a satisfied smile, Arabella had already caught the attention of the Grand Duke. Compared to the second son, Julian was far more powerful and the super-rich. In fact, it's rumored that Julian often pours out funds to help the Kingdom become more stable.

' Arabella, Arina's daughter... is truly the most precious piece of diamond in this kingdom. I'm sure all men will be fascinated by Arabella, my daughter will be the flower of this kingdom' thought Vivaldi.

Count Brown also looked equally surprised, "Wow, it seems your daughter is indeed very attractive until a Grand Duke who was nicknamed the Bloodthirsty Devil invited her. Congratulations, Marquess Falzen," he said.
