Chapter 535
Her smile remained steady and warm. “You'll have to meet him at some point this evening. I think you would find him very charming company.”Princess Sophia nodded her head with a pleasant expression that gave away absolutely nothing of what she was actually thinking beneath it.“Well, since he is here in the palace and I haven't had the chance to meet him yet,” Princess Sophia said with the gracious and unhurried tone of someone making perfectly ordinary social plans, “I think once things have settled a little and I have made sure that my mother in law is completely comfortable and well looked after, I would genuinely love to come and say hello to him.”She met Uncle Festus's wife's eyes with a smile that was warm on its surface and something considerably more alert beneath it. “I really do want to see him. Properly.”Something in the specific and deliberate way Princess Sophia said those last two words sent a fresh current of carefully suppressed alarm moving through Uncle Festus's
Chapter 534
At that moment, upon hearing the carefully laid invitation that Uncle Festus's wife had just extended with such deliberate and strategic openness, Princess Sophia was completely still for a brief but significant moment.She simply looked at Uncle Festus's wife.Not with hostility, not with visible agitation, not with any of the emotional charge that the evening's events might have reasonably justified. Just a calm and level gaze that took its time and revealed absolutely nothing of what was happening beneath it.The silence stretched just long enough to be slightly uncomfortable before Princess Sophia cleared her throat with quiet composure.“I'm curious,” she said with measured and thoughtful evenness, her head tilting slightly to one side as she regarded Uncle Festus's wife with genuine and almost academic interest. “What exactly are you trying to insinuate right now?”Her voice carried no aggression, no accusation, just a clean and direct question delivered with the unhurried conf

Amanda's eyes returned to Uncle Festus's wife with warm and completely immovable composure. “So between Princess Sophia looking after me and my own son present and attentive, I think you can rest completely easy knowing that I am in very good hands.”She smiled once more with gentle but absolute finality. “You really have nothing to worry about on my behalf.”The space that followed Amanda's words was quiet and definitive.Uncle Festus's wife stood for a moment absorbing everything that had just been said, her eyes moving briefly between Amanda and Princess Sophia as the full reality of what had just happened settled over her with cold and clarifying weight.Every avenue had been closed. Every approach had been countered. The plan that had seemed so clean and executable just thirty minutes ago had been blocked at every single turn by a combination of sharp observation, immovable loyalty, and the now confirmed presence of Tyler himself somewhere within this palace tonight.She looked

A brief but charged silence followed Princess Sophia's declaration, settling over the small group like a held breath.It was Uncle Festus's wife who broke it.She stepped forward with a composed and reasonable expression, clasping her hands together in front of her with the deliberate posture of someone about to present a very sensible and logical counter argument.“Princess Sophia,” she began with diplomatic warmth that carried an unmistakable undercurrent of challenge, “I completely understand your concern and I respect that it comes from a place of genuine care for Amanda's wellbeing.”She tilted her head with measured and pointed reasonableness. “However, I do need to respectfully point out something important here. It was not you who extended the invitation to Tyler's mother to attend this celebration tonight.”Her voice took on a subtle but deliberate emphasis. “That invitation came from Princess Naomi specifically. And as part of that invitation, Princess Naomi personally made

The exposure of what he was carrying on his finger would unravel not just this moment but every carefully layered element of the plan that Uncle Festus had constructed with such meticulous patience.So Dr. David did the only thing available to him in this moment.He laughed.It was a light, natural, and genuinely convincing laugh that he produced with the ease of someone who had spent considerable time learning how to perform authenticity under pressure.“Princess Sophia,” he said with warm and slightly exasperated amusement, shaking his head as though the entire situation was a charming but unnecessary alarm, “I genuinely have no idea what you are referring to right now.”He turned his gloved hand over with casual and unhurried openness, displaying it with the relaxed transparency of someone who had absolutely nothing to conceal. “A needle? On my finger? I truly don't know what you are seeing, but I can assure you there must be some kind of misunderstanding here.”His smile remained

Amanda nodded her head with polite acknowledgment, watching him with calm and attentive eyes.“Now,” Dr. David continued in his professional manner, “what I would like to do right now is conduct a brief but thorough check of your vital signs. Specifically, I want to assess your blood pressure to confirm it is within a healthy and stable range, and I want to check that your heart rate and rhythm are functioning properly.”He held up the compact medical monitoring equipment he had brought with him, displaying it with transparent and reassuring openness. “These are the most essential and immediately important indicators of your overall stability right now, and checking them will give us a very clear baseline picture of how you are doing.”He snapped on a pair of clean medical gloves.“It will be brief and completely non-invasive,”Dr. David assured her with another warm professional smile. “You won't feel any discomfort at all.”Amanda nodded her head in quiet acceptance, watching him w
