A few moments earlier ~
The grand ballroom still hummed with energy, the echoes of celebration lingering as nobles exchanged pleasantries and well-wishes. Dominic and Liana, having endured the endless formalities and carefully spoken words of admiration, finally managed to slip away—seeking the company of those who truly mattered.
Noah was the first to react, his grin wide as he threw an arm around Dominic, nearly knocking the future king off balance.
"Congratulations, Brother!!!"
Dion wasn't far behind, his own laughter mixing in as he clapped a firm hand on Dominic's back, his tone laced with mischievousness as he glanced at Liana.
"Your wish has finally come true!!"
"She is yours now, huh!"
Dominic exhaled a chuckle, shaking his head at their antics, but the warmth in his expression betrayed his appreciation for them.
Meanwhile, Cedric approached Liana, his posture refined yet sincere as he raised his champagne glass in salute.
"Congratulations, Lady Cortez."
