Nathaniel interrupted her, standing up to bow.
I’s getting late, and I’ve arranged for Nana to stay in a small apartment on the outskirts. It might be inconvenient to go back after dark, so I’ll bring her to visit you next time.
Kelly met his gaze, nodding with a smile, “Alright. There’s a palace banquet in five days, and you both should cand join the festivities”
“Of course. We’ll take our leave now,” Nathaniel responded,
Though reluctant, Sheena had no choice but to stand and bid farewell to Kelly
Nathaniel hurriedly pulled her arm to leave, and while Sheena disapproved, she refrained from saying anything in front of Kelly.
As soon as they exited the palace, Sheena forcefully shook off his hand.
“Nathaniel, why didn’t you let Princess Kelly finish? What else haven’t you toldabout the

At the mention of this matter, he becstern.
“Nana, don’t entertain any crooked ideas. That medicine is stored in the royal treasury, and unless you marry me, you have no other way to obtain it.”
Sheena glared at him, her expression cold, “Nathaniel, if you dare to deceive me, I will kill you.”
“How could I? We’re getting married; I’ll be honest,” he reassured her, smiling gently, attempting to hold her hand. “I’ll discuss our wedding date with Mom soon. At the upcoming banquet, she’ll announce our engagement. Now that we’re officially a couple, is holding hands too much?”
“You’re nothing until it’s a done deal,” Sheena retorted, leaving him behind, and Lianel quickly

Before long, Nathaniel escorted Sheena and Lionel back to their accommodation on the outskirts.
Sheena, unwilling to hear any more nauseatingly sweet words, quickly sent him away, anxiously awaiting Harrold’s arrival.
She waited until the night was pitch dark. The snowflakes drifted outside, and the suburban road remained serene.

Sheena sat on the edge of the bed, feeling disappointed. “It seems Lord Gale is not willing to

Lionel sighed in agreement, offering encouragement.
“Don’t be discouraged. It’s the first meeting, and Harrold seems to be a cautious person. His lack of trust is normal.‘
“Mm.” Sheena nodded with determination. “At the palace banquet in five days, I’ll surely earn his trust!”

“What would you like for dinner tonight? I’ll inform the servants in the courtyard to coordinate with Nathaniel for the meal.”
At the mention of food, Sheena instantly becuncomfortable.
Though the lunch was exquisitely prepared, she had little appetite. However, she had to pretend it was delicious and force herself to eat a few bites in front of Kelly.
Now, the thought made her nauseous, and she rubbed her chest to shake off the lingering discomfort. “I don’t have any particular cravings, and I’m not hungry either. Maybe it’s because I’m in a different place, and I just can’t seem to find the taste here that suits me. Let the servants arrange anything. I

“I’m quite tired. I’ll take a short nap. When dinner arrives, you can wake me.

Lionel turned on the listening devices, closed the door, and left.
