The Marquis of Grovehill’s family had long been one of the prominent families in Starhaven. But the older the

family got, the more they found themselves in a difficult position.

The main issue was that the family had grown rapidly, but there wasn’t enough land or incto support

everyone and maintain the wealth and status of the family.

The current marquis was Henry's father, Martin. Under his leadership, the family had gradually declined. After so

many generations of wealth, the strict family rules had loosened, and the younger generation was less willing to

endure the hardships of studying or practicing martial arts. Since they still had their noble status, they felt they

would always have a comfortable life.

If it weren't for Henry marrying Eleanor, the Marquis of Grovehill’s family might have already fallen into

obscurity. Martin held no official position in the court, and very few members of the family held posts

above the fifth rank.

As Violet stepped into Grovehill Estate, she noticed several intricately carved family crests-evidence of the

Marquis of Grovehill’s family’s once-great prominence. They seemed fearful of being forgotten, with two crests

prominently displayed in the main hall alone. The hall's decor showed signs of age, but the luxurious wooden

furniture, seasoned by time, radiated a subtle, understated elegance.

When it cto matters of marriage proposals, it was best to avoid having too many people present as it could

hinder the process. So, Gemma invited them to the side hall and sent for Lisette.

Violet noticed that Gemma had taken good care of her appearance. Despite her age, she still looked well. Henry

also resembled her, especially in their brows and the way they spoke.

“Please have scoffee,” Gemma said with a warm smile.

She looked kind, but Violet knew Gemma was aware of the whole plan. Lisette wasn't really from the Gemma'’s

family, and her nwasn't Lisette. Lisette Sanford was an identity Eleanor had fabricated.

Creating a false identity for a Sanford family member surely required the cooperation of Gemma'’s own family,

right?

As they sipped tea and exchanged pleasantries-polite flattery on both sides-Violet noticed Gemma eyeing

Thomas several times. The rumors about him and Viola had circulated widely before finally settling down in

recent days.

Gemma sipped her tea, and thought to herself that Thomas was indeed a striking young man. It was no wonder

Viola was so persistent.

“Alice, you're truly blessed. Thomas is brave and capable, and he has accomplished much for the kingdom. Once

he marries and starts a family, you will enjoy a life of comfort,” she remarked.

Alice smiled and said, “Yes, we hope he will marry soon. I'd like to hold my grandchild soon!”

Alice’s eagerness was evident, which prompted Gemma to summon a maid and instruct softly, “Please remind

Lisette not to keep our guests waiting too long.

“Yes, Madam Gemma!” the maid replied, taking quick, light steps to the door before turning to leave.

Chapter 661

In her chambers, Darin was already dressed, but she hesitated to leave.

As she gazed into the mirror, a wave of conflict washed over her. Eleanor had saved her life and brought her

back to the palace, providing her with luxurious clothing and plenty of food. Though she wasn’t accustomed to

such opulence, she knew it was Eleanor’s kindness. The debt she owed Eleanor was something she felt she could

never repay.

Eleanor intended to marry her off, and Darin would have accepted any suitor-even one with a limp or blindness-

so long as his intentions were honorable. Yet, the night before arriving at Grovehill Estate, Eleanor had a heart-

to-heart with her.

The first question Eleanor had asked was, “You said you wanted to repay your debt. Do you still mean that?”

Though Darin was just a young woman, she believed in keeping her word. If she said she would repay her debt,

she intended to do so. But after affirming her commitment, she was taken aback by the shocking

revelation-she was to marry Thomas, and draw him closer to Yuvan’s side.

If her efforts failed to sway Thomas, she was to find an opportunity to kill him.

The thought left her utterly flustered.

During her tat Harmony Palace, Darin had noticed sstrange occurrences, but there were places she

couldn’t go. Though her suspicions nagged at her, she dared not investigate further.

One night, she had been jolted awake by a woman's scream echoing through the halls. She rushed to the door to

see what had happened, only to be stopped by a guard who insisted she return to her room. He claimed a thief

had been caught, and was being punished.

However, the scream she had heard was unmistakably female.

It was true that women could commit theft, but to sneak into a grand princess’ residence? Did such a bold

female thief exist? It was almost impossible to even imagine.

“Ms. Lisette, the people from the Farrell family have arrived,” a maid said, entering her room and urging her to

hurry. “Madam Gemma requests that you cout quickly.”
