Bab 193: You're At My Mercy

Weeks went by and a formal baby shower was thrown for Adeline to celebrate the pregnancy. There, she planned on formally announcing she was pregnant with twins, as a way of replacing the gender reveal, for she decided it'd be best if she left it as a surprise. 

The ballroom was decorated with a traditional soft pink and sky blue, balloons filling the ceiling and archways, flowers aplenty, and ribbons spiraling from one end of the high ceiling to the other. There was an abundance of food served, with preparations taking a week in advance, and games aplenty. 

Aristocrats of all sorts of backgrounds were invited. In particular, the wealthiest of the wealthy, and the people with high influence around the world. 

Everyone came prepared with gifts, leading to a mountain sitting in the room, all of which would be opened at Adeline's discretion.

"Welcome!" Adeline greeted everyone that entered through the double doors with a bright, cheery smile.
