The next day, Michael’s eyes finally snapped open. He sat up and looked around, realizing he was back in his room. Barry was seated in the corner, his head lowered. Michael rubbed his face and looked at him, “Barry.” His voice was still a little tired but it carried through the room. Barry’s head snapped up and he stood. “Hey, you’re awake.” “What happened after we stopped those missiles?” Michael asked as he stood. Most of his energy had returned, and he could walk without any trouble. Barry relaxed a little after seeing this, “We treated some of the injured guests. Nothing critical, thankfully. We kept everyone here overnight so they could recover. The last group left a while ago.” “And my parents?” Michael asked. “They’re in the council room.” Barry answered. “The elders called another meeting, and your parents and uncle didn’t really have a choice.” Michael scoffed, “Of course. I have a pretty good idea what their problem is this time.” He looked through the balcony doors

The entire courtyard exploded. The blast tore through the area with terrifying force, sending tables, chairs, decorations, and pieces of the courtyard flying in every direction. Windows shattered, the ground cracked, and a wave of heat and dust rushed through the estate. Guests screamed and dropped to the ground as the beautiful ceremony was suddenly turned into chaos. The Gladiolus lilies were scattered across the courtyard, their petals mixing with broken glass and debris. Thankfully, Mira was there to prevent any casualties. She had reacted the moment the first flash appeared, throwing up a massive crimson barrier around the section where most of the guests had gathered for the slow dance. The explosion had slammed into the barrier, but it didn't break through. Mira breathed hard as she slowly undid the crimson barrier and looked around at the frightened guests. "Wow... We are one lucky bunch, aren't we?" She looked around and sighed. "You're all welcome." "What the hell was

Cristy's eyes shimmered when she saw Mira, and she immediately held out both her arms. “Mira, my child...” Mira blinked when her mother pulled her into a hug. She clearly didn't know how to react at first. Slowly, she raised both her hands and hugged back. The hug deepened as Cristy held onto her daughter, and Mira gradually relaxed in her mother's arms. Everyone around them seemed to let out a breath they didn't even realize they had been holding. Even some of the elders remained silent, watching the mother and daughter share a moment they had probably been waiting for. Celia turned to Michael and leaned closer, speaking quietly so she wouldn't interrupt them. “I'm going to Barry now. See you around.” Michael nodded, “Alright. Thanks for earlier.” She gave him a small smile before walking away toward Barry. Meanwhile, the hug between Cristy and Mira finally broke. Cristy still had a smile on her face as she looked at her daughter. “It's so good to see you again. You look beaut

Michael and Celia joined the ceremony. As soon as they stepped out of the main mansion, heads turned towards them. A few guests recognized Michael immediately, while others whispered among themselves. “That's him?” “Yes. The conqueror as they say. They said he took a thousand ships down in the Blackwater Expanse.” “You seriously believe that?” An applause broke out across the courtyard, welcoming Michael. Celia felt a little uncomfortable with all the attention and wanted to pull away, “I'll hang with Barry. You should greet your guests.” His hand firmly held onto hers. “We'll greet them together...” He said without looking at her, “If that's okay with you.” Her eyes widened in surprise, she knew what that meant. A Scofield welcoming guests with their plus-one by their side simply meant one thing… He was openly acknowledging her presence beside him, this action alone confirmed what he felt about her. She took a breath, then nodded. “Of course it's okay with me.” Michael smil

Michael straightened his tie in front of the mirror and sighed. He took a step back to observe his reflection. His hair was styled neatly, and the suit fit him perfectly. He was wearing the same watch Gerald had given him during his welcome ceremony over two years ago. On the side of his suit was the Scofield family symbol, neatly pinned in place. He looked at himself one more time before adjusting his tie slightly. Just then, a knock came from outside the door. Before Michael could answer, the door opened and Celia stepped in. She wore a sleek black straight dress with a slit running along one side that gave it a classy but bold look. Her dark hair had been styled beautifully, falling neatly around her shoulders. She looked elegant without trying too hard, and for a moment, Michael simply stared at her. He blinked and finally smiled, “Celia? You came…” “Yes, I did.” She closed the door behind her and smiled. “I didn’t want you to miss me too much.” Michael chuckled softly, “Yo

The planning for the annual Scofield ceremony went smoothly despite it being an impromptu event. What had initially seemed impossible was finally coming together, and the entire estate was slowly being transformed for the evening. The Gladiolus lilies arrived on time and were used to beautifully decorate the large estate courtyard. Their tall stems and sword-shaped leaves were arranged around the entrance, along the walkways, and around the main seating areas. The flowers were also placed on the tables, giving the courtyard the formal look the elders had requested. Additional decorations, including elegant tablecloths, lights, candles, and arrangements for the stage, were prepared throughout the estate. The catering had also been completed. Several chefs had been brought in to prepare a wide selection of meals for the guests, including different types of meat, seafood, salads, pastries, and desserts. The estate itself had been cleaned from top to bottom. The guest rooms were pre
