Fortunately, the party quickly started. Duke Hamel Forexa, the current head of the Forexa Family, has finally shown up. This is the first time Penelope sees the duke. It is because Duke Hamel is no longer active in their kingdom's politics.
And it all started when Duchess Ellaine Forexa, Duke Hamel's wife, died after giving birth to their second child.
Now that Penelope sees the duke, she can now see where Yuriel gets his facial features. He also has silver hair and a pair of emerald eyes. But unlike Yuriel and Young Duke Verdel, the duke doesn't have any friendly and approachable aura around him. Instead, he looks like the type of person who is serious and stern.
Duke Hamel stands up on the podium while holding a glass of champagne. When he raises his hand, all of the guests tonight become quiet. The duke looks around first before he starts talking.
