Out of sight, out of mind. This felt nice.
I changed into a light blue dress and tied my hair into a bun at the back of my head to appear more mature.
Then, I put on a shiny headband and let a few strands of hair fall gently on both sides of my face. I applied a light-colored lipstick and lightly brushed my eyebrows. Overall, it made me charming and elegant.
When the professor saw me, he looked slightly amazed. Then, he began to complain about how his wife didn't give birth to a daughter. He complained that his son was useless and just caused trouble. Having a sweet daughter would be much better.
Upon arrival, I realized it was a gathering of high-society elites. The so-called high society actually consisted of two main groups. The first was those who were more toward wealth and power, and the second was those with deep family and cultural backgrounds.
Previously, Colin mentioned that the Kings where the professor was from had a history of over 200 years. They had connections with the royal family. With such a family background and immeasurable assets, they also hold a lofty position in the cultural sphere.
Combined with their wealth, the Kings had far surpassed other wealthy families, establishing themselves alongside the prestigious Lamberts in Jinovy.
Colin didn't elaborate much at that time, but later I learned that this was Andrew's family. It was only then that I realized how prestigious Andrew was. And Queenie was incredibly lucky to have met him and to be loved and protected by him for a lifetime.
The gathering was held in Eden Hall on the top floor of the Jones Hotel. The decorations appeared simple and plain at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there was an understated luxury in every detail.
Even the decorative paintings on the walls were created by world-renowned artists, and their value was beyond measure.
