Ten days later.

Randolph Winters held a grand banquet for Thalia.

The banquet was set at Great Fosters, Randolph’s newly purchased estate in Surrey. Though the event was scheduled for seven in the evening, Thalia had risen at eight in the morning to begin her preparations.

During the previous Blackwood family dinner, Lady Blackwood had insisted that proper British girls ought to wear traditional evening gowns. Thalia had initially considered visiting the most prestigious couturier in London for a bespoke evening dress, but upon remembering the banquet hall’s Medieval European Rococo aesthetic, she decided on something more elaborate.

For tonight, she’d selected a light blue Rococo–style off–shoulder gown inspired by the one worn by Marie Antoinette in the 1956 film “The Queen of Fashion.” The dress featured numerous petticoats and a pannier, creating an exquisitely wide, magnificent silhouette. Underneath, she wore a structured corset that accentuated her waist and décolletage, showcasing her perfect figure. The gown was crafted from luxurious silk with elaborate embellishments, adorned with intricate lace and pearl detailing–both elegant and regal.

To complement the ensemble, her stylist had fitted Thalia with a platinum blonde wig styled in period fashion. The upper portion was swept back and secured, while the lower section cascaded in European–style curls on either side, adorned with hair ornaments matching the gown’s palette.

For makeup, she was given light blue contact lenses, transforming her appearance to blonde–haired and blue–eyed, perfectly complementing the Rococo–style gown. Thalia’s naturally porcelain complexion required minimal cosmetics–just a light layer of foundation and a subtle lip colour sufficed to make her appear like an angel

descended to earth.

The estate was located approximately an hour’s drive from Thalia’s Tribeca flat.

At five in the afternoon, Asher arrived at the stylist’s salon to collect Thalia, finding himself momentarily stunned

by her transformation.

Thalia turned to him with a gentle smile. “You’re here.”

Asher was also impeccably dressed in period–appropriate formal attire, his hair styled in subtle waves to match the era, enhancing his aristocratic bearing.

Thalia sat at the dressing table adjusting her appearance in the mirror. Asher approached, bowing slightly and extending his hand. “My little princess.”

Thalia gently placed her hand in his.

Asher brought her hand to his lips, placing a reverent kiss upon it and speaking in flawless French: “Ma princesse, puis–je avoir l’honneur de vous escorter ce soir?”

Thalia returned his smile, responding in equally perfect French: “Mais bien sor”

An hour later, the Rolls–Royce Cullinan finally arrived at Great Fosters.

The car proceeded along the broad driveway, lined with majestic plane trees. Their winter bare branches fractured the grey winter sky into a delicate lattice of shadows above.

From a distance, one could see the magnificent Tudor–Gothic mansion that served as the estate’s main building

The estate was larger and more magnificent than the Powell residence, covering over two hundred acres. The main building was an imposing historic structure, with several period cottages and guest accommodations elegantly positioned throughout the grounds.

The landscaping featured evergreens, providing lush greenery even in winter. The expansive gardens contained numerous rare specimens and architectural follies.

The estate also included a helipad, an ornamental lake, swimming facilities, a private cinema, tennis courts, a gymnasium, equestrian facilities, and other comprehensive amenities.

Randolph had studied in France in his youth and had traveled extensively throughout Europe.

He spoke impeccable French with a genuine Parisian accent, and when dressed in formal attire, his every gesture exuded the quality of French aristocracy. He particularly favoured Rococo and Baroque architectural styles. This estate was one he had recently purchased as part of Thalia’s dowry. Having just completed the transaction, today marked its inaugural reception for entertaining guests.

Luxury vehicles continuously arrived at the estate. At the entrance, numerous uniformed security staff stood in formation, verifying invitations and confirming identities.
