Upon hearing what Princess Naomi just said, Nathaniel Jr. felt his jaw immediately tighten as he listened to Princess Naomi's words, because deep down he had known that this moment would eventually come, the moment when he would need to actually demonstrate through his actions rather than just his words that he was worthy of being chosen as Princess Naomi's future husband.He had understood even before tonight that accepting him publicly as her chosen partner would definitely come with some serious proving requirements, that Princess Naomi would expect him to show his loyalty and commitment through concrete actions rather than just enjoying the benefits of their engagement without earning them.And now it seemed like this evening was presenting itself as the perfect opportunity for him to demonstrate exactly what he was willing to do in order to secure his position as her future husband and eventual king, even though he had to admit that he didn't completely understand why Princess N

At that moment, upon hearing what the waiter just said, Tyler's expression hardened instantly.“What the hell did you just say?” Tyler demanded, his voice cutting through the ambient chatter of the event hall.The waiter bowed his head slightly and repeated his words with practiced politeness, though his tone remained firm.“Sorry to inform you, sir, but you don't have a seat here. I've gone through the complete list of people authorized to attend this event, and your name wasn't mentioned for this particular seating arrangement. I'm going to have to ask you to walk away quietly before I take the necessary action.”The waiter's words carried an underlying threat that was barely concealed beneath his professional demeanor.Princess Sophia's anger flared immediately upon hearing this blatant disrespect directed at Tyler.“Keep your mouth shut,” she snapped at the waiter. “What sort of nonsense is this?”But even as the words left her mouth, Princess Sophia's eyes swept across the room a

At that moment, upon hearing Tyler's ominous promise about the party, Princess Sophia immediately placed a gentle hand on his arm and shook her head.“There's nothing to worry about, Tyler. You shouldn't go causing any trouble,” Princess Sophia said, her voice carrying genuine concern. “I never even wanted to go there in the first place. I know exactly what my sister is capable of, and tonight she's just proving it. There's no need for you to retaliate.”Tyler looked at Princess Sophia with understanding, but his expression remained resolute. He appreciated her desire to avoid further conflict, but he also knew that letting this kind of public humiliation go unanswered would set a dangerous precedent.“I understand your feelings, but we need to think about this practically,” Tyler said, his voice calm but firm. “If we just walk away and do nothing, people are definitely going to see us as weaklings. They're going to talk behind our backs, insult us, or even try to spread lies about

At that moment, hearing Princess Naomi's harsh assessment of Tyler's character and status, several guests at the nearby tables immediately voiced their agreement and support for her position.“Princess Naomi, there's absolutely no need for you to explain yourself or justify your actions,” His voice carrying the confident assurance of someone who believed he was stating obvious facts. “From the very beginning, we all knew that good-for-nothing boy who accompanied Princess Sophia was a useless fool.”A well-dressed woman from another prominent family nodded emphatically and added her own commentary to the growing chorus of voices condemning Tyler.“He doesn't even fit in with people of our caliber and shouldn't be associating himself with those of us who come from established families and real wealth,” she said dismissively. “We don't know him at all. Nobody here can actually claim to know who he really is or where he comes from.”Another guest chimed in, eager to demonstrate his alig

At that moment, Nathaniel Jr. scrolled quickly through his contacts and pressed his uncle's number with the absolute confidence of someone who believed he was about to unleash consequences that would immediately resolve this situation in his favor.The phone barely completed a single ring before Uncle Bernard picked up the call, his voice warm and familial as he greeted his nephew.“My young—” Uncle Bernard began, clearly about to use whatever affectionate nickname he typically called Nathaniel Jr.However, before Uncle Bernard could finish his greeting or even ask why Nathaniel Jr. was calling during what should have been a successful and enjoyable event, Nathaniel Jr. immediately cut him off with urgent desperation in his voice.“Uncle Bernard, there's something going on right now, something very serious that I really need you to settle immediately,” Nathaniel Jr. said, speaking rapidly as if afraid the situation might escalate further before his uncle could intervene.“We're here i
