บท 777: No Romantic Bone in Her Body

Day Eighty-One…

~~*****~~

Alexander and Hanabi's arrival immediately caught the attention of the people gathering in the banquet hall. Several pairs of eyes turned to them with awe and intrigue, whispers fluttering around. Hanabi's beauty captivated the gaze of every onlooker.

The banquet hall was filled with murmurs as they marveled at the unexpected sight of Alexander with a date. Some exchanged surprised glances, while others leaned in to catch morsels of gossip.

"Hey, who is that lovely woman? Is she Alexander's girlfriend?"

"I thought he didn't have a girlfriend. Tonight's gathering is all about the selection of his wife. His grandfather, Arthur, will choose among the ladies here."

"Maybe she is just his date tonight. No commitment involved."

"Let's wait for Lord Arthur's announcement later."
