After three rounds of toasts, Adrian and the apprentices from the Pathfinders Guild stood up to offer their own. It wasn’t just Adrian whom people were impressed by–even if only Kyle were present, their presence commanded respect. When they came to make toasts, even the prime minister stood up to reciprocate.
Trevor was the one who had initially secured this marriage, so Adrian toasted him. Adrian drank the entire cup, while Trevor only took a small sip, which was enough to show his respect as the royal chancellor. Also, considering his health, excessive drinking wouldn’t be advisable.
Carissa’s eyes reddened as she watched the Pathfinders Guild members rise to make toasts.
They were undoubtedly there to support her. Even though the occasion was hosted by Rafael’s household, the Pathfinders Guild members wanted to show everyone that this place would also be Carissa’s in the future.
Though such customs were not typically observed in high–society marriages, they were martial artists. Who would dare to challenge their traditions?
Moreover, Adrian came from a noble background, and Kyle was also present.
Who would refuse them?
Who would dare criticize their actions?
As for Eleanor and Jessica, their expressions were dark throughout the event. Even when they weren’t frowning, their demeanors were cold and sarcastic.
Taking the opportunity, Eleanor sat next to Helen and sighed softly. “Helen, I’m concerned about your future. With such a powerful daughter–in–law, you, as the mother- in–law, might find it hard to enforce any rules.
“She might even refuse to perform the post–wedding ritual tomorrow. You’ll need to be careful in your interactions with her. If your words cause offense, you might face retaliation.”
Helen’s emotions today were too complex for her to fully understand Eleanor’s words.
Certainly, Hell Monarch Estate was the center of attention today, and she was pleased by Carissa’s extensive dowry and connections. She felt happy for the benefits it brought. However, this fortune fell to Rafael, not directly to her.
Now, with Eleanor’s provocation, Helen felt an even deeper, more indescribable turmoil.
Would she really have to live under her daughter–in–law’s shadow in the future? Was there even such a rule? If a daughter–in–law showed any disrespect, the ethical officials monitoring and enforcing moral and ethical conduct would be quick to come after her.
But how could today’s scene be judged by ordinary standards?
