The animated birthday party was abruptly halted by the commotion that had started.
All eyes were on Edward Falkrona, the previous Heir of the Falkrona Duchy and ex-fiancé of the First Princess, who was now engaged to Rythvel Arvatra. Rumors of him being a troublemaker seemed to be confirmed as he acted overly close with the Second Princess, Sylvia Kiara Celesta. Then, Jayden Rayena, the Apostle of Lumen, dropped a bombshell, claiming to be Sylvia's fiancé. Alfred, however, quickly dismissed this claim, and the Royal couple remained unresponsive.
Next, Colton Arvatra appeared, asserting that Sylvia was his. Edward, without hesitation, shielded Sylvia, despite King Charles confirming Colton's claim.
The scene played out like something out of a romantic tale, and the girls couldn't help but swoon at Edward's handsome figure protecting Sylvia from Colton, whose popularity seemed to have diminished rapidly.
