"What does it have to do with me?"
Nicholas methodically adjusted his cuffs.
His long, elegant fingers stood out pale and striking against the dark patterns of his suit.
He looked at Dominic, his voice devoid of warmth. "Let me introduce myself again. I am Nicholas Blackwood, and I am Serena's fiancé."
Fiancé?!
The Lancaster and Blackwood families?!
They had all heard rumors about an engagement between the two families before.
Especially when Isabella used to parade around claiming to be the Blackwood Crown Prince's fiancée, only to be publicly slapped down by the man himself.
Over time...
Everyone stopped taking the rumors of the alliance seriously.
But now, Nicholas was publicly confirming it in front of everyone.
The significance was entirely different.
This was the Blackwood family making an official stance.
Serena Lancaster wasn't just the Lancaster heiress.
She was the acknowledged future young madam of the Blackwood family.
Almost simultaneously, everyone's gaze snapped to Nicholas and Serena.
Seeing their clearly matching, custom-tailored outfits, the previous speculations instantly turned into solid facts.
Dominic's expression completely froze. His face went ghastly pale inch by inch, looking as though he had been brutally slapped in public.
Sebastian's expression also twisted drastically.
A Lancaster-Blackwood engagement?
They hadn't caught a single whisper of this!
They dared to test the Lancaster family tonight under the guise of 'young people mingling' because they were certain Serena was new, unestablished, and unattached.
But they never imagined that behind her stood not just the Lancasters.
