“You…”
Zephyr was in the traditional Southeast Aciatic long robe that was heavy with embroidery. He could not do much
being clad in such garments and could only glare at them. He wanted to seek assistance, but to his surprise, Robert
had turned his back on him too!
Zephyr’s effort to escape was futile no matter his skill level when the three men rushed to him together.
“Nicholas, are we stepping on his head?”
“No, no, don’t. He’s the groom today. It’s not auspicious to step on his head!”
“Then we step on his feet as hard as we can!”
“Cordelia will feel bad if we hurt him.”
“Why don’t…”
Josiah cackled and took off Zephyr’s shoes. “Robert, tickle him!”

…
Merry peals of laughter sounded under the sun. It had been a long time since the palace was this lively.
Aurelia stood in a corner quietly holding a champagne flute. She was envious of the lively and playful crowd there
but dared not go closer.
She was able to come to the palace all because of Neil. It was Neil who had told Alexander that he wanted to bring
her, so Alexander had sent an invitation to her.
However… Aurelia lowered her head timidly.
Those who attended the wedding here were either affluent or noble. She could not blend in with them, and she saw
the disdain and contempt in their eyes on her.
It was understandable. All of them were dressed in luxury brands and haute couture, but she wore a dress she had
embroidered.
Aurelia bit her lips and sighed softly.
“Young lady, if you sigh at someone’s wedding in Southeast Aciatic, guests like you will be thrown out!”
Aurelia was startled hearing the voice but turned around to meet a pair of gentle eyes.
“Oh, Your Highness!” She froze before she fumbled to bow. She was supposed to pull her left leg back but pulled
her right, so she quickly corrected herself. As her legs crisscrossed back and forth, she looked like a cute clumsy
duck.
Alexander chuckled and dismissed her bow of respect.
“Your Highness.” Aurelia blushed. “I… I didn’t sigh on purpose! This is Cordelia’s wedding. I’m happy for her from
the bottom of my heart!”
“I know,” Alexander replied softly. “But why are you hiding in this corner if you’re sincerely happy for her? You
should go over to congratulate her!”
Aurelia smiled bitterly. “Of course, I’d love to go, but I know I’m unworthy. Cordelia doesn’t look down on me, but

“If I go over and say or do something wrong and get laughed at by her friends, it’ll embarrass her.
“I don’t want her to be embarrassed!” Aurelia blinked. “So I’ll wait here until there’s no one after this and go over
privately to congratulate her!”
Alexander was upset by what Aurelia said.
“You actually don’t have to feel so inferior.” He looked at her. “You’re also an amazing girl.”
“Thank you, Your Highness!”
“Right, where’s Neil?” Alexander frowned. “He’s the one who brought you here. Why isn’t he keeping you
company?”
Aurelia pouted at the mention of Neil.
Alexander looked around and found Neil among the crowd, as expected. The award-winning actor was surrounded
by celebrities like stars around the moon. It was so star-studded where they were that it almost looked like a show
set.
Alexander chuckled dryly. “Mr. Irwin’s generous. Even celebrities from Centrolis came to join in the celebration!”
