The ladies who were mocking Eli could not help but grit their teeth and look at the couple with great envy.
Just earlier, they were still having a blast mocking Eli's background only to be slapped by the reality of Alicia's words and the Emperor's announcement.
The noblemen of the New Rising Faction were also signaling each other in the eyes. It seems that they have something in their minds as they look like they were in panic.
Oblivious to the subtle tension in the crowd, Queen Tehila and Emperor Valentin were smiling brightly, Kazimir, Antoine, and the rest of the family also looked satisfied with the couple.
"Tomorrow, the Third Prince and Lady Eli will be having their engagement ceremony hosted by the High Priest himself. I hope that everyone will also be there to witness the betrothal of the two, to become blessed by the heavens!"
"A betrothal in the Temple? With the High Priest blessing their engagement?!"
