บท 65: Off To A Shocking Start

No one made a move to help the young woman who fainted as they were still frozen, trying to understand what they were currently staring at. 

Duke Kian? With a ... Woman?

The shock among the attendees was palpable as they watched in disbelief, their minds racing to process what they were witnessing. The gossip that had been circulating for a while about the mysterious woman living in the Duke's mansion had now transformed into reality, leaving everyone stunned, even the most influential of the guests.

Amid the shocked crowd, Crown Prince Arden's eyes widened, his normally composed expression faltering for just a moment. He exchanged a glance with his younger sister, Princess Thea, who looked equally taken aback. This unexpected turn of events had caught even the royal siblings off guard.
