He never believed in perfection among humans, only in the mastery of disguise.
Brittany knew this all too well: “This engagement wasn’t my choice.”
“Don’t worry, I'll help you get out of it as soon as | can.”
Isaac hadn't seen her for a week, and their longing for each other nearly burst through the confines of the car. Isaac captured her
lips in a desperate kiss, expressing his longing.
Brittany wanted to resist, but ultimately, she surrendered.
After a long embrace, Isaac reluctantly let go, “Just wait for me.”
Exhausted, Brittany pulled away from his embrace, “Takehome.”
Isaac took off his jacket and draped it over her, started the car, and headed straight for the Lte Mansion.
Once at the Lte Mansion, Isaac kissed Brittany goodbye, “I'll leave now. Get srest early.”
Brittany drove into the parking lot and hurried upstairs.

As soon as her bedroom light turned on, Isaac turned to leave.
“Caspian, is it? We need to talk.”
Knox appeared behind him, leaning on a cane, his gaze deep and unreadable.
“Alright.”
Knox led Isaac aside, “I know about you and Bri. | didn’t want to interfere with Bri’'s marriage, but now that she’s about to marry
into royalty, | don’t want you near her anymore.”
Isaac's expression flickered, “She doesn’t want this.”
“She has to want it,” Knox's voice rose, “As a member of the Lte family, she must contribute.”
Isaac scoffed, “Even if it means sacrificing her own marriage?”
Knox's face darkened, “I don’t care who you are or where you cfrom. If you ruin this marriage, | won't let you off easily!”
With that, Knox strode away.
Isaac stood still for a moment before leaving the Lte Mansion.
The news of Brittany's impending marriage to Eltham spread, and Estelle’s reaction was peculiar.
“Dominic, is it true about Brittany and Eltham?”
“Yes, the queen personally chose Brittany.” Dominic took off his coat and pulled her into his embrace, his hand gently caressing her
belly, “You're close with Brittany. Try talking to her.”
“Talk about what?”
“Eltham is a good match. It's not bad for the Lte family.” Dominic was unaware of Brittany's boyfriend, “Besides, the world
hardly offers anyone better than Zac!”
“So, the Lte family bes a tool for the royals?”
Estelle wasn't naive. With Brittany's value, the royals clearly had their motives.
Dominic found Estelle’s insight rewarding and kissed her cheek, “My smart Estelle!”
Estelle blushed and playfully scolded him, “Shut up!”

Dominic embraced her, “I'll apany you to the prenatal checkup tomorrow.”
“But Mrs. Hartman said—"
“What's to fear? Ivy won'te back, and | can’t stay celibate forever for her.”
Mrs. Hartman had advised against public appearances for now.
But Dominic didn’t want to miss any important moments.
Estelle shook her head, “Alright.”
She didn’t want distance between them either.
The next morning, Estelle and Dominic went to a private hospital for the prenatal checkup. They ran into Elijah.
“Bro.”
Seeing Elijah, Estelle brightened, “Bro, what are you doing here?”
“| transferred dad to this hospital.” Elijah greeted Dominic, “How was the checkup?”
