Chapter 665
Caesar truly regarded Nathaniel as his brother, so he remained silent.
Harrold, engaged in light conversation with other dukes nearby, unexpectedly noticed the situation. He approached with a stern expression, his steps heavy,
“Charles, don’t forget your lowly status! Do you even deserve Caesar’s respect?”
Nathaniel was displeased at Harrold’s arrival and retorted, “Lord Gale, please don’t forget that Princess Kelly adopted me. In a way, I am Caesar’s brother.”
Bringing up this matter only worsened Harrold’s expression. He snorted and walked away with a champagne glass.
The magnificent banquet hall featured a string quartet playing elegant melodies that quickly dispelled the earlier unpleasant atmosphere.
In Caesar’s sky–blue eyes, there was only Sheena.
He gracefully extended his hand and asked, “Ms. Lawson, may I invite you to a dance?”
Sheena was about to respond, but Nathaniel interrupted, “Inviting my companion to dance? Caesar, are you serious?”
He cast a cold glance at Caesar and slowly reached out his hand to Sheena.
“Nana, everyone’s having fun on the dance floor. Should we join them?”
Observing both men, Sheena looked from one to the other, grabbed the cuffs of their suits, and placed their hands together.
“I’m not very good at dancing. You two have fun. I’ll take a quick trip to the restroom and be back soon.”
Nathaniel, concerned, insisted, “The palace is huge, and you might lose your way. Let Jamie escort you.”
Sheena frowned. “Having Jamie, an adult man, accompany me to the testroom? That’s too strange. I can find my way. If I can’t, I’ll ask a servant along the way.”
“But…” Nathaniel, still worried, suggested, “How about I accompany you, then? I’ll wait outside.”
Silently trailing behind them, Lionel quietly gasped.
Nathaniel’s vigilance was formidable, and he was not easily fooled.
Just as Sheena pondered how to refuse without arousing Nathaniel’s suspicion, Kelly’s servant approached Nathaniel.
“Sir, Princess Kelly wants to talk to you.”

Sheena seized the chance, saying, “Princess Kelly must have something important to discuss. Go ahead, I’ll just head to the restroom. What’s the worst that could happen?”
Nathaniel, torn, ultimately compromised. “Alright, stay safe. I’ll find you soon.”
Sheena nodded in agreement.
Nathaniel immediately followed the servant out.
With him gone, Sheena approached Caesar, whispering, “Where did Lord Gale go? Please take me to him. I have urgent matters.‘

Caesar nodded solemnly. “Ms. Lawson, follow me.
Harrold had been waiting in a separate lounge. Once Sheena entered, Lionel casually patrolled the corridor, keeping watch.

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
