The people on the palace side are all harboring sinister intentions. Now, Consort Willow’s children, Kyle and Melody Ashworth, are here. Melody Ashworth, as the most prestigious and beautiful princess in The State of Westria. With the appearance of Serena Sterling, everyone will inevitably draw comparisons. Women love beauty, and no one is willing to be slightly inferior in terms of looks, so Melody keeps her eyes tightly fixed on the figure in the flower carriage, ready to compete. Kyle Ashworth is also very handsome, but he exudes a certain coldness. Perhaps due to his fondness for beauty, his gaze is quite frivolous. Now, seeing Serena Sterling’s delicate hand reaching out from the flower carriage, he subtly curls his lips into a lascivious sneer. This princess from Alani will eventually lie beneath him! Axel Ashworth extends his large hand to receive Serena Sterling’s delicate hand, then welcomes Serena out. The whole place takes a deep breath, everyone stares dazedly at Serena Sterling at this moment. Serena Sterling wears a white gauze dress, with a retro Chinese knot neckline that reveals half of her graceful, swan-like neck. Her pure black hair is braided into a princess flower braid, exposing her breathtakingly beautiful face. As she steps out, the breeze stirs the layered hem of her gown, making her look like an ethereal fairy from the palace of the moon. Oh my, what a beautiful fairy! Hayden Crawford stands on the observation deck, watching Serena Sterling below. His deep pupils slightly contract, a flash of intense amazement crossing them. It is at this moment that he clearly realizes Serena Sterling is not the same as she once was. She has transformed, reborn anew, and now stands before him as the Princess of Alani. A vibrant red three-petaled flower graces Serena Sterling’s forehead, its beautiful petals enhancing her unparalleled magnificence. Melody Ashworth stares dazedly at Serena Sterling, unwilling to concede defeat as a fellow woman, yet acknowledging her loss. Serena Sterling’s face and her ethereal demeanor overshadow Melody by far. At this time, people around are whispering, Oh my, the Princess of Alani appears to be a heavenly fairy descended to earth, so beautiful. I thought our Princess Melody was beautiful enough until I saw the Princess of Alani, now I know what a frog at the bottom of a well feels like. The Princess of Alani is much more beautiful than our Princess Melody, it’s simply not on the same level. Google seaʀᴄh ɴovelfire.net Even though everyone tries to lower their voices to avoid Melody’s awareness, Melody clearly hears the praise for Serena Sterling. She’s already seething internally but shows no sign of it, her attractive face still carrying a playful, innocent smile. Kyle Ashworth also sees Serena Sterling and is instantly captivated, unable to divert his gaze at all. He has many concubines and an ardent love for collecting beauty in all forms, yet compared to Serena Sterling, the women he has experienced all seem vulgar and commonplace. Kyle Ashworth’s eyes quickly become intensely heated, he almost can’t restrain himself from disrobing Serena and claiming her for himself. Serena Sterling descends from the flower carriage, raising her bright eyes to gracefully address Axel Ashworth before her, "King of Nine Peaks, I’ve long admired your reputation. Hoping for a pleasant cooperation between us this time." Axel Ashworth owns a pair of pitch-black eyes, he curls his lips, "Collaborating with you involves high risks, I’m still considering it. My father wants you to marry his favored son Kyle Ashworth. Just look at the way Kyle looks at you, he’s nearly drooling. You’re a hot potato right now; choosing a marriage alliance with you means standing against my father and Consort Willow’s family, it doesn’t seem worthwhile." Now Serena Sterling and Axel Ashworth stand together, the pair looks quite eye-catching amidst the picturesque setting. With no apparent signs on their faces, Axel appears chivalrous and considerate, and Serena gifts him a gentle smile; outsiders can only sense their affectionate interaction, guessing they’re sharing intimate whispers. Serena Sterling’s bright gaze briefly passes over Kyle Ashworth’s face, she arches her delicate brows, "King of Nine Peaks, I will prove myself. I believe you will cooperate with me." Axel Ashworth notices the intelligent and resolute gleam in Serena Sterling’s eye, momentarily captivating. They say the more beautiful the woman, the more dangerous; he smiles with interest, "Later at the palace party, for sure there will be quite a show waiting for you, so I’ll be watching your capabilities." Serena Sterling curves her red lips, "Alright, I’ll just present King of Nine Peaks with a meeting gift." Axel Ashworth remains curious about this "meeting gift," as the upcoming palace party may not be a pleasant one. Serena Sterling has just stepped into Titus Ashworth’s territory. Titus Ashworth wants Serena Sterling to marry his favored son Kyle Ashworth, and Consort Willow’s family also has hostile intentions toward Serena. Soon, a captivating drama is about to unfold. Serena Sterling, new to this environment, faces uncertainty on how she’ll alter the course at the palace party. The conversation between the two wraps up, Axel Ashworth leads Serena Sterling to Titus Ashworth, "Father, I’ve brought Serena." Titus Ashworth’s face beams with smiles, as if nothing occurred three years ago. He looks at Serena Sterling, smiling, "Serena, welcome to The State of Westria, I’m curious if your mother has accompanied you?" Titus Ashworth eagerly inquires about Seraphina Linden. Serena Sterling chuckles, "Uncle Ashworth, my mother will arrive for the wedding between me and King of Nine Peaks, she’ll attend the ceremony." "That’s good, Serena, shall we go inside?" The group proceeds into the palace. During the palace party, Serena Sterling stands alongside Axel Ashworth, the pair becoming the focal point under the dazzling lights, receiving admiration and reverence from all. Titus Ashworth watches the duo nearby, his eyes gradually grow cold. Axel Ashworth, his most proud son, yet this son has exceeded the master’s prominence like a wild horse breaking free, escaping his control, threatening his royal authority. Serena Sterling’s impending marriage alliance with Axel Ashworth must not occur. However, pressured by Alani’s influence, Titus Ashworth cannot openly refuse, so he can only resort to underhanded tactics. Titus glances at Axel Ashworth beside him, "Axel." Axel Ashworth remains fixated on watching Serena Sterling, quickly returning to attention, "Father." "Axel, I leave Serena to you tonight, you know what to do, right?"
