Mason could not accept this.

He could not stand to see Lucas triumphant. With a quick glance, he smirked and said, “Lucas, Mom heard you woke up and was so happy she immediately went out. She said she was going to Silverveil Abbey to personally thank Master Lucian.”

“Yes, Madam Tessa.” Everyone quickly left the room.

Tessa stayed in the room for half an hour before officially announcing the engagement between Lucas and Sloane, stating that they would marry when Sloane turned twenty.

This news caused a storm in Stonebridge. All the major families sent people to gather information.
