With the rise of the Duke of Blackmoor’s influence, many colleagues also came. The Duke took Vance and his son and nephew to meet people in the official circles, while Prudence led Priscilla, Matilda, a few granddaughters, and several ladies to mingle and socialize.

Margaret did not bring Eleanor with her, only two maids. She was dressed as splendidly as before, with a graceful demeanor, exuding elegance and poise.

“Madam, I am deeply grateful for your presence!” Prudence said joyfully.

Margaret wore an appropriate smile on her face. “Mrs. Blackwell, you flatter me. Our two families almost became in–laws.”

“It’s my granddaughter’s misfortune.” Prudence paused for a moment, not expecting the Margaret to mention this matter so directly.

Margaret smiled and gave Isolde a meaningful glance. “Miss Langley seems more spirited than usual today.”

Isolde smiled. “Thank you for the compliment, Madam.”

Prudence personally led her inside, arranging for Matilda to stay in the room and entertain the guests while she went back out to welcome others.

Aveline and Rosemary, Rosemary, arrived together.

Aveline was holding Theodric by the hand, while Bourbon was arm–in–arm with Rosemary.

Seeing this, Prudence quickly led Priscilla upstairs.

“Hello, Princess and Madam!”

Aveline smiled and said, “I hope we are not troubling you too much, Mrs. Blackwell.”

Prudence smiled and replied, “It is an honor for me that you would grace us with your presence.”

Rosemary was dressed in a slightly worn teal satin gown today, with very simple jewelry. She didn’t smile, her expression rather stern. Perhaps it was due to her long years of service alongside the Queen Mother, but she always gave off an air of aloofness, making her seem somewhat unapproachable.

Prudence glanced at Bourbon, who was standing beside Rosemary, and greeted her again, “Your Highness!”
