Chapter 85: A Mysterious Guest (2)
Cassian was impeccably dressed in an elegant outfit that exuded a sense of sophistication and refinement. An appearance that all gazes failed to turn a blind eye on when he walked past the crowded ballroom, hands casually tucked in his trouser pocket like a devil who couldn’t care less about the world, or about anyone in particular.
He was wearing a black coat with a deep-red velvety collar. The coat was impeccably fitted, showcasing his well-toned physique without being too tight or constrictive.
Underneath the coat, he wore a crisp red shirt with a high collar that emphasized his chiseled jawline. His shirt was tucked neatly into a pair of perfectly tailored black trousers that are tapered at the ankles, giving him a sleek and modern look.
On his feet, he wore a pair of shiny black patent leather dress shoes that gleamed in the dim light of the ballroom, and his tawny-dark-hair was smoothly combed to the back while a few rough strands that peeked out at the front fell at the left side of his face in natural curls, softening his features.
As he moved through the ballroom, heading for the stairs, admirable glances visited his direction as well as constant murmurings he could easily grab due to his hypersensitive ears, but he didn’t mind it since it gave him some sort of pride that he could get the ladies talking from his mere presence.
He was a picture of refined elegance and genteel charm, his effortless and understated grace drew the attention of all who lay eyes upon him, yet his conspicuous wickedness wasn’t something the guest would remain oblivious to, so no one dared to go near him and could only offer silent compliments.
With his piercing Amber-brown eyes and winning smile, Cassian was the very epitome of a dashing gentleman, and his refined outfit serves as the perfect complement to his innate class and style.
As he stood at the end of the stairs, he clapped his hand twice, gaining the attention of the guests and silence reigned at once. He caught sight of a few familiar faces, Klaus, Orson and his sister, the councilmen and some of Carmathen’s bureaus.
"As the groom of this event, I’d like to offer my sincere apologies since I couldn’t invite everyone to my wedding." His voice was audible and unintentionally coaxing, leaving half of the single ladies to swoon over his hypnotic voice.
"To repay Everyone for the untimely news of my wedding, my father, lovely mother and the working staffs were of great support in putting this wonderful arrangements together, and since not everyone is familiar with my beautiful bride....who is now my legally wedded wife, it is with great honor that I introduce to everyone the woman who had stolen my heart for herself. Ladies and gentlemen, please..."
Immediately, all eyes shifted to the top of the stairs as everyone was trying to catch sight of who the upper west woman was, and they were curious to know what was so special about her that the Lord Cassian himself took great interest in someone who didn’t belong to their class.
