q“Mr. Adams!” Danrique shook hands with the man and introduced Francesca, who was standing next to him. “She's Cece, my fiancée.”
Frank wasn't surprised to hear that at all. Instead, he teased playfully, “Your fiancée is pretty! We've been worried about your future, but it looks like you've already found yourself a significant other.”
“Sorry. I should've told you guys sooner.” Danrique smiled.
“Haha. I'm slightly older than you, so I'm like your big brother. You know, I love to worry about my younger siblings.” Frank patted Danrique on the shoulder intimately like they were truly blood brothers.
Danrique lifted the corners of his lips and flashed a polite smile.
“Welcome, Cece!”
Frank stretched out his hand toward Francesca, who shook his hand while observing it, making sure there was no wound on it.
“Everyone, please.”
Frank welcomed everyone into the castle.
There were colorful lights and romantic music playing in the castle.
The nobles and aristocrats who were dressed in formal outfits were chatting quietly with each other. Upon seeing Frank enter with Danrique and the members of the three great families, they immediately approached and greeted Danrique enthusiastically.
Danrique, who usually disliked attending banquets like this, was especially cooperative that day. He greeted each and every one of them courteously and even introduced Francesca to them.
Francesca linked arms with Danrique and felt inexplicably uneasy. She never intended to marry Danrique, but the latter still introduced her to everyone.
Would people think of me as Danrique's fiancée when they see me in the future?
“Mr. Lindberg!”
Just as Francesca's thoughts were running wild, a melodious voice rang out.
Francesca lifted her head and saw Hazel strolling over in a gorgeous silver gown.
She was slender and tall with an air of elegance, and coupled with the gown she was wearing, she exuded the natural aura of a noble.
Frank reached his hand out to the woman, who placed her hand in his without hesitation. The two of them didn't look like a good match at all.
