At that moment, hearing what her son had said, Mrs. Nathaniel who hadn’t known the full details before took a deep breath, placed both hands on her waist, and nodded slowly with a mixture of hope and anxiety. Her voice was low but firm as she said,

“Alright then, if this is the angle we’re going with, then you must play your part properly, Nathaniel. I mean everything. From your words, your tone, your presence let them all carry weight. You must be deliberate. Convince Princess Naomi. Bind her thoughts to yours. Make her see reason, make her doubt this entire process. Make her believe that that boy is not ready, that he mustn’t be chosen. You understand me?”

She stepped closer to him, locking eyes.

“Tomorrow’s selection must not hold. That’s what you’re going there to make happen, right?”

Nathaniel Jr. gave a slow nod.

“Yes. Exactly, Mother. That’s the goal. Delay the selection. Break the momentum. If we win time, we’ll win everything.”

    Immediately, before Uncle Festus's wife could literally say another word or make any move toward her planned subtle investigation, Princess Sophia suddenly brightened up with apparent curiosity.“Oh, this literally reminds me of something I've been wondering about,” she said with genuine-seeming interest, leaning forward slightly in her chair. “I've been quite curious, and I really want to know something important.”Princess Sophia's tone became more conversational and friendly.“You know, we haven't been talking or spending time together for quite some time now, and I'm just wondering I want to know a little bit more about your family background.”She gestured expressively with her hands.“Your family history, your roots—I really want to know something unique and personal about them, because honestly, I don't think I ever learned the full story of how you literally got to know Uncle Festus's in the first place.”Princess Sophia's eyes sparkled with what appeared to be innocent curio

    Princess Sophia's training in reading people and situations was serving her well. Something deep in her intuition was screaming that there was definitely something dangerous in that original food spread."They probably thought I wasn't going to literally invite Uncle Festus's wife to eat alongside me," she reasoned silently. "They assumed I would taste everything alone, which would have made their plan work perfectly.""But now that I've insisted she join me in the tasting, they're panicking and want to completely change the scenario to protect themselves."Princess Sophia felt a cold satisfaction wash over her as she realized she had inadvertently exposed their plot.However, she decided to play along with their charade perfectly, maintaining her gracious royal composure.“No problem, no problem at all,” she said with a warm, encouraging smile. “Since you really want to start everything from scratch and show us your absolute best work, I don't have any objection to that whatsoever.

    Immediately upon hearing what Uncle Fester's wife just said, Princess Sophia laughed warmly and clapped her hands together with genuine delight.“Well, no problem at all then,” she said enthusiastically, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “You are going to literally make everything so much more lively and thoughtful with your input.”Princess Sophia gestured toward the elaborate spread of dishes before them.“And together, we will make sure that this establishment actually rises to another incredible height. Your friend deserves all the success in the world.”At that moment, Uncle Festus's wife smiled broadly and nodded, appearing genuinely happy on the surface. However, beneath her cheerful exterior, she was feeling quite conflicted and anxious. The thought of having to taste the food especially alongside Princess Sophia was making her extremely uncomfortable for reasons she couldn't reveal.As Princess Sophia turned momentarily to admire a particularly beautiful dessert display, U

    Immediately, Princess Sophia nodded her head gracefully, her royal training evident in her poised response.“No problem at all,” she said with a warm smile. “I'm excited to see what you've prepared.”They stepped through the ornate glass doors and into the restaurant's main dining area. The moment they crossed the threshold, the rich aroma of expertly prepared cuisine filled their senses.Uncle Festus's wife paused to look around with obvious pride, taking in the stunning scene before them. Her friend had clearly outdone herself the entire space was neatly arranged with meticulous attention to detail. Various elaborate dishes were lined up along elegant serving tables, each one looking extraordinarily beautiful and professionally presented.Crystal glasses caught the soft lighting, silverware gleamed against pristine white tablecloths, and fresh flowers adorned every surface. The restaurant looked like something from a high-end culinary magazine.“Oh my goodness,” Uncle Festus's wife

    “And I know it would be literally wrong if you two keep on with this enmity among yourselves,” Uncle Festus's wife continued, shaking her head with exaggerated concern. “It is very, very bad, and I am definitely not in support of this kind of family division.”She reached out and gently touched Princess Sophia's arm, her expression becoming more motherly and serious.“So I know you are wise enough to literally apologize to your head sister when the time is right. These things need to be mended properly.”Her voice took on a more cautionary tone as she glanced around the restaurant entrance.“Because you see, relationships may come and go Tyler might leave, anything could happen in the future. I'm not praying for anything bad to happen between you two, and I'm certainly not hoping for any misunderstandings to develop between you and Tyler.”Then she paused meaningfully.“But even if romantic relationships change, your family will still remain. Blood is thicker than water, as they say

    The black sedan pulled up to the curb as the late afternoon sun cast golden shadows across the newly constructed building. Princess Sophia stepped out first, her heels clicking against the pristine sidewalk, followed closely by Uncle Festus's wife, who was practically glowing with excitement.As they approached the entrance, Princess Sophia's eyes widened in genuine amazement. The restaurant's exterior was stunning floor-to-ceiling windows gleamed in the sunlight, revealing glimpses of elegant chandeliers and rich mahogany furnishings within.“Oh my goodness,” Princess Sophia breathed, her hand instinctively reaching for the glass door handle before stopping herself. “This place looks very, very put together. Everything looks so very well arranged.”She turned in a slow circle, taking in every detail from the hand-carved wooden sign bearing the restaurant's name to the carefully manicured planters filled with fresh herbs.“I can just imagine the incredible amount of work that has bee
