Chapter 275: A Blessing To Cassian
As they awaited Kyren’s arrival, Sylvia confided in Anna about the intricate situation that trapped her and Drystan—a matchmaking scheme initiated by the Marquess of Sylvere, her grandfather, and her three uncles.
"Oh my goodness!" the princess exclaimed, unable to contain her surprise at the revelation.
"At least it’s not as shocking as Mr. Amares’s situation. We still have time to plan something before the betrothal takes place."
The princess shook her head, still trying to comprehend the whirlwind of occurrences that had transpired.
"So many things have happened today," she murmured, incredulous in her tone.
Meredith chimed in, reflecting on the unusual nature of this year’s festival, "Indeed! This year’s mid-autumn festival has been rather bizarre, full of unforeseen happenings. It has never been this unexpected!"
Sylvia couldn’t help but acknowledge Anna’s unintentional role in the day’s extraordinary events.
"Usually, it would just be the two of us, Meredith and me, visiting the festival together. But with you around, Anna, this year has become quite the adventure."
Anna asked back, genuinely surprised at the notion, "Me? What did I do? I’m not even an adventurous person!"
Sylvia voiced her realisation, highlighting the chain of events that had unfolded due to the princess’s marriage to the grand duke.
"Your marriage to His Highness the Grand Duke brought you and the Knights of Gerhard to Gantz following His Majesty’s royal decree. This, in turn, led my relatives to meet Sir Mills at the festival and became enamoured with his charm, which is how I ended up being paired with him."
