Z country, palace.

As the lights came on, the sound of clinking glasses filled the air.

Originally just an ordinary birthday banquet, it was grandly organized by Quinn, inviting officials with status from all over the world.

Arthur Yael was originally against it, but Quinn had already asked the queen to support him, using the excuse of maintaining diplomatic relations with other countries, which left Arthur Yael unable to refute, and he had no choice but to agree.

Guests arrived ying after another.

Arthur Yael and the queen welcomed the guests outside the hall, all of whom were distinguished figures. After presenting their gifts, they were all led into the banquet hall.

At this moment, Quinn was weaving through the crowd, occasionally glancing towards the entrance of the banquet hall.

"What's going on, why hasn't Leonard shown up yet?"

Quinn waited for a long time, but still didn't see anyone, feeling a bit impatient.

The attendant respectfully said, "Your Highness, just now our people came to report that the special aircraft of Lord Leonard has landed, and he should be arriving soon."

"Is he accompanied?" This was what Quinn cared about most. Reita was pregnant, and he was unsure if Leonard would bring her along.

The attendant replied, "Yes, his wife is accompanone him."

"Good, I understand. You may go." Quinn could hardly contain his excitement. With Reita's arrival, Everyone would be fine. Everyone he had dying was just to see her. If she didn't come, all his efforts would have been in vain.

"Wait, come back." When the attendant was about to leave, Quinn called him back.

"What else does the prince command?"

"Where is Star Moon? She is the birthday celebrant tonight, why hasn't she appeared yet?"

The guard thought for a moment and replied, "The princess is still getting dressed in the Star Palace, she will be here soon."

...

Star Palace.

Princess Star Moon paced back and forth in her chamber.

Originally intending for a small gathering with a few close friends for her eighteenth birthday banquet, she did not anticipate her brother going all out to invite dignitaries from various countries.

Princess Star Moon disliked crowds and had never experienced such a grand event, feeling very uneasy inside.

"Princess, the banquet has already started, you should change your clothes!"

The maid reminded her from behind. Princess Freya glanced at the time, realizing it was already six o'clock. If she did not hurry, her brother might send someone to urge her.

"Bring me the gown!" she ordered.

"Yes," the maid quickly went to get it.

After the gown was brought, Freya looked at it and said, "This ying won't do, bring me another ying."

For a regular banquet, she wouldn't be so cautious. But since the guests were all powerful figures, as the birthday girl, she had to dress up. Furthermore, she had heard that Leonard would be coming. In front of the man she admired, she couldn't be careless.

The maid quickly went to pick up a set, but Princess Freya was still not satisfied. "Too simple!" She casually threw the dress on the sofa, her face unable to hide the tension. "Forget it, I'll choose myself." With that, she walked towards the dressing room. As the only princess of the Yael royal family, Princess Freya was deeply loved by Arthur Yael, and her assigned palace was also the best. The Star Palace was uniquely designed, with a stylish and elegant environment, including a separate dressing room. Princess Freya arrived at the dressing room, opened the wardrobe, and found various dresses inside. Her delicate fingers sifted through each dress, finally settling on a red evening gown. "I'll have this ying, take it down and help me put it on!" She commanded the maid beside her.

"Okay, princess!" The maid took the dress and carefully helped the Princess Freya put it on. After getting dressed, Freya stood in front of the mirror and carefully examined herself, very satisfied with her choice. However, she remembered that she didn't seem to have bought this dress. So, where did this dress come from? The maid saw through her thoughts and answered carefully, "Princess, this outfit was personally delivered by the Crown Prince two days ago, along with the yings I just brought." "The Crown Prince sent it? Why didn't you tell me?" Freya said with a hint of anger. The maid was scared and quickly knelt down, confessing, "It's my fault, I forgot about this!" Freya was not the kind of unreasonable person who would make things difficult for her subordinates over minor mistakes.

After some time had passed, she waved her hand and said, "Come on, accompany me to the banquet venue!"

"Sure."

The maid quickly got up.

"Oh, I heard that Leonard is also among the invited guests. Go and see if he has arrived!"

At the mention of the three words Leonard, Star Moon's cheeks blushed slightly.

Her mother and the Queen of the Southern Kingdom were acquaintances when they were young, but unfortunately, when the Southern Kingdom faced difficulties, she was unable to help.

Her mother once said that when she was young, she and the Queen of the Southern Kingdom had agreed that if they both had a son and a Yara, they would arrange a marriage between them.

Unfortunately, the Queen of the Southern Kingdom passed away early, and at that time, her mother was not yet married, so the matter was left unresolved.

Afterward, her mother married into the royal family, and from time to time, she would mention the Southern Kingdom.

The only thing Star Moon was interested in was that when her mother talked about Leonard, her eyes would light up.

Mother has a high appreciation for Leonard, hearing that he is extremely gifted and intelligent, understanding the ways of governing at the age of five. Unfortunately, after the decline of the southern country, along with the deaths of the king and queen, Leonard's whereabouts became unknown. It wasn't until recently, when the southern country launched another war, that Freya found out Leonard had returned to restore the nation. Freya has a great deal of curiosity about Leonard. If it weren't for her older brother mentioning inviting Leonard to the birthday banquet, she wouldn't have paid any attention to it. However, it is said that Leonard is already married, piquing her curiosity about who the person is and how they managed to capture Leonard's heart. ... As Freya fell asleep on the private jet, Bradley couldn't bear to wake her up. When the two arrived at the banquet venue, all the guests had already arrived. Arthur Yael and the queen went to greet the guests, with only Quinn still waiting at the door. "What's going on? The birthday banquet has already started, but Leonard is still not here."

Quinn had run out of patience and growled at the guards, "Go and check again, report to me at any time..."

"The Southern Monarch Leonard and his wife have arrived!"

At this moment, a voice came from outside.

Quinn was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward, personally going out to meet them.

Meanwhile, Freya had just woken up, walking while yawning constantly.

Bradley held her hand, full of concern, saying, "If you're still tired, find a resting room later. This kind of occasion is just a formality, there's no need to stay long."

Freya nodded and said, "It's okay. I won't be able to sleep with all the noise later. Besides, you need to deal with these nobles more, so you don't have to accompany me all the time. I'll find a corner to sit in by myself."

As they were talking, Quinn approached, nodding politely towards them.

"Crown Prince!"

"Southern Monarch and Queen, please come in quickly!"

Although invited as the King and Queen, Freya felt somewhat uncomfortable being addressed in such a manner by Quinn.
