    He then closed the cyan screen and stared at Charles''s decapitated head with a complicated look on his face.

    He had finally disposed of the man who would have caused the downfall of the household. However, he felt no joy.

    On the contrary, Alaric felt uncomfortable.

    The last words that Charles had spoken were still lingering in his mind, repeating over and over like a broken cassette tape.

    There are still more things to do.

    Alaric didn''t stay for long after the criminals were beheaded. He gave a closing speech and returned to the estate.

    Upon returning home, he didn''t immediately go find his father. He felt that it was better to give the baron some time to be alone.

    Inside his room, Alaric opened the cyan screen.

    [Yes] [No]

    This time, he clicked [Yes].

    Maris nodded her head meekly.

    The trio headed to the venue- a special mansion meant for such celebrations.

    When they arrived, the place was already filled with people. The sounds of the musical instruments and the chattering of the crowd resonated in their ears. This combination of sounds created a unique atmosphere that made them feel the essence of the celebration.

    Hershey''s arrival sparked the interest of many young nobles. Her beauty, her grace, and her temperament attracted these proud men.

    Some of them tried to strike a conversation with her, but Hershey only replied politely and she didn''t even try to prolong the conversation.

    Seeing that she had no interest in them, no one approached her anymore. They just stared at her and admired her beauty from a distance.

    "Lady Hershey is truly beautiful, but I heard that she will be engaged to someone. What a pity." Someone mumbled with a hint of regret.

    "Your news is outdated. I heard that she will be engaged to Lord Alaric."

    "Well, only Lord Alaric deserves a woman like her."

    The guests discussed eagerly as they watched Hershey step into the hall.

    Suddenly, the main character of today''s event appeared. It was Lucas Silversword, dressed in his custom-made suit emblazoned with a golden insignia of House Silversword.

    His arrival silenced the crowd for a moment.

    His dignified look and his commanding presence awed the audience.

    As he went down the staircase from the second floor, Lucas''s face remained stoic.

    Lucas stopped midway and scanned everyone''s faces. His piercing gaze made the guests unconsciously adjust their posture.

    Seeing that he had gathered their attention, Lucas opened his mouth. "Good day, everyone! Thank you for coming to my humble estate to join my birthday celebration. I have prepared..."

    His voice echoed through the banquet hall.

    "...Please enjoy your stay here."

    Clap! Clap! Clap!

    The audience gave him a round of applause after his short speech.

    Where is he?

    Hershey looked around the hall, searching for that familiar figure.

    Just then, she suddenly heard Maris gasping in surprise behind her.

    She raised her eyebrows and turned around. "What happened?"

    In front of her was the very man she was looking for.

    "How are you, my lady?"
