well-wishers. She glanced over at Carissa and saw that the latter remained composed, her smile as natural as if

When the matriarch of the Marquis of Jadehill’s family arrived, Carissa helped Helen rise to greet her. The elderly
lady was advanced in years. and rarely attended such social gatherings, but today she had honored them with
her presence, so Helen made sure to personally welcher.
Mary entered amidst a throng of daughters-in-law. No one knew how powerful the family really was, but they
certainly had plenty of people. Mary was over ninety years old, and everyone present stood to greet her. Even
the high princesses present at the banquet nodded slightly out of respect.
“Oh, there's no need for that!” Mary quickly returned their gestures with a smile. “Today is Lady Helen's birthday
celebration. I'm just an old woman here for a good meal.”
Meredith smiled and said, “Madam Clayton, during the freezing rain. disaster, you stepped forward and raised a
substantial amount of money, sending numerous quilts and food to the disaster-stricken areas. The people there
were no longer suffering from the cold and hunger because of your generous efforts. Your benevolence and
dedication make us, the royal princesses, feel deeply ashamed.”
Mary responded, “It was just a modest effort on my part. Please don’t speak of it as if it were a great
achievement. | cannot bear such praise. What | did was trivial compared to the monumental contributions of the
late Duke of Northwatch and General Dominic, as well as the Hell Monarch, who safeguarded the kingdom and
reclaimed territories. So, let us not dwell on it.”

Helen was eager to see the jealous, twisted look on Dakota's face.
However, just as Mary finished speaking, Dakota entered with Adelaide, holding her grandson in her left hand
and her granddaughter in her right.
The little children were so adorable and sweet that it made people jealous.
Helen could hardly tolerate Dakota. What was she trying to do, flaunt her grandchildren? If it weren't for Rafael
being on the battlefield, Helen would be holding grandchildren herself.
Due to Dakota's esteemed status, the officials and their families all rose to pay their respects.
Eleanor asked, “Why have only you come, Lady Adelaide? Where are Lord Kendrick’s concubines?”
Adelaide replied with a smile, “Lady Inez’s child is still young, and Lady Matilda is pregnant, so it’s not
convenient for them to come. | hope you will understand their absence, Lady Helen.”
Everyone extended their congratulations, but Helen's eyes burned with jealousy.
Another child? Was the prince a breeding sow? Just a few years into the marriage, there were already four or five
children.
Eleanor remarked with a smile, “Lady Dakota, you're truly fortunate. Even at such a young age, you're already
surrounded by grandchildren.”
