After the engagement party, I went to my office to think about some things.
"Stella, bring me the invitee list from the party today," I ordered.
"Here is the list," Stella said as she speedily handed me the documents.
When I looked up the name Sherry, her name did not show up but the name Sharon Wilburn did. She had brought in an uninvited guest to a private engagement party under her father Baron Wilburn's name. Her father was allowed two guests of his choosing, one of whom was his wife and the other being his daughter. Even if it was a festive occasion, it was still disrespectful to bring another guest without informing the hosts especially if they were of a higher rank than them.
"Sharon Wilburn will be ostracized from all public social events," I ordered.
"Is there a reason why?" Stella asked.
"She let in a dubious person not on the invitee list who came and disrespected me," I said coldly.
"...This person who disrespected My Lady?" Stella asked.
"Nevel Pillar...had courted me at my own engagement ceremony and asked that I entertain him alone. Please make Sharon Wilburn and other women who get close with him an example of what happens when people disrespect me," I told Stella.
"Understood, My Lady," Stella said as she bowed her head and left.
Being excluded from the social circles is almost equivalent to death...
Once she cuts off all ties with Nevel Pillar, I will consider letting her return, but she will now be an example of what happens to women who get close to Nevel Pillar. Cutting off his supply in women will also help those women into coming to their senses that Nevel Pillar is just a worthless man. The only person worth mentioning is his father for his many years of service on the frontline, but he had tossed away his title of an honorable man to let such an unhinged man go by his watch.
I walked over to my coffee table that had the unfinished chessboard game between me and Garett from earlier. I then flicked the opposing king piece down with my queen piece.
My plans might have been foiled this time, but I will definitely kill that man when the chance arises again...
A week later, Baron Wilburn and his daughter Sharon Wilburn came by my home to beg for my forgiveness.
"My apologies for the disservice my family has done to you, Lady Arielle," Baron Wilburn said as he lowered his head towards me.
"I also beg for your forgiveness, Lady Arielle," Sharon Wilburn said.
I scoffed at the two lowering their heads to me.
"...Now what is it that you two are apologizing to me for?" I asked.
"Pardon?" Baron Wilburn said with a confused expression.
