During the party…

All the noble families in Kingdom Wentris have arrived.

At first they thought they were hearing things. Didn't Gabriel just have a heartache??

...

There are nine Noble families in the Kingdom and almost every house has mixed feelings about Gabriel.

They don't like him much.

Nor do they hate him.

It is because they are not aware that their former, beloved king is actually murdered by this man who used to avt like he is the loyal person.

That fire in the laboratory is still an unfortunate accident in their eyes.

As Gabriel did this without involving any Noble family, they are clueless of how cruel and vicious he is.

As for Rebellion, many of them are not yet aware that the main head here is Gabriel. They are still thinking this happened after their beloved King George died.

Although some of them know that it's actually Gabriel, they simply couldn't risk losing their life's.

As long as their family and their power are not being challenged, they didn't care much about what Gabriel wanted.

Otherwise, their Noble house will vanish from the Noble bloodline that very night.

Who knows the truth about the Rebellion, had their mouths shut while the others, who are not aware, didn't care much.

Their kingdom is not getting implicated anyway...

on other hand, after their beloved King and his family died, Gabriel is the only man who could continue the Royal line.

Irrespective of whether they are happy or not, he will be the King and his children will follow him.

It is because King George, his wife, Queen Jennifer and their beloved Prince Seth and Princess Sabrina are dead.

Killed by a fire 'accident'.

.....

Meanwhile…

Eliina was helped by the maids to dress up and Diego really didn't understand why she is so enthusiastic to go for this party.

One to two days back, she was fucking angry and terribly devastated.

But now, on contrast, she is acting as if she is an honorable guest who has been invited here rather than kidnapped....

Not that he complains, he is actually happy to see her happy but he is confused because of this drastic changes.

Anyway, keeping all this apart, he started liking her presence in this palace to the extent that he started to feel this as his home after many years.

"How am I looking?" Eliina asked, twirling in front of him.

Dressed up in a long, red ball gown, she is really looking like a princess, which she is.

"Back in my Kingdom, I never liked parties nor dressing up like this. However, my priorities have changed a bit after coming here. Perhaps, it's because of you I wanted to doll up beautifully" she added cheekily.

Diego gestured to others to go out and after they were left alone, he closed in, standing just an inch from her.

"What are you planning? Luna, please don't try to do anything dangerous here."

"This isn't like your Kingdom, believe me. People in this palace are very ruthless and if you try to escape, you might seriously get hurt."

"I can't bear to see it happen." He added, hugging her very tightly in his arms, afraid to let her go.

Eliina chuckled and wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing a kiss on his cheek.

"I am not going anywhere, Mr. Crybaby. In fact, my guts are saying that we would never have to be separated again. What I mean is, I am having a strong feeling that something interesting and shocking is going to happen" she whispered to him.

The other reason she wanted to look happy is because her parents and family will understand that she is fine here and try not to hurry their well organized plan.

Meanwhile, Diego observed her for quite a few minutes before sighing in defeat.

"There would be no one else wishing more than me for this to happen, Eliina. But, prior to all these, I just don't want you to get hurt" Diego said.

"I promise that I will be obedient" Eliina lightly pecked his lips, making him chuckle.

"I wish I could believe that," he chuckled as he teased.

Eliina being obedient?? Never.

She is like mini Sabrina, always a trouble maker.

Sometimes, he even feels like he got attracted to Eliina because of her similarity to his cousin's character. Both of them are interesting and their antics will never get bored...

….

Meanwhile…

In Kingdom Aletros…

Brina's father, George, her nephew Will have also come to the palace.

As this is the intermediate steps of their last strike, he has to be here. His daughter needs all the support...

"It's going to be fine," Brina comforted Louis, who was sweating profusely.

He is still nervous about the plan.

"We are not going to meet him, honey. Eighty percent of our strike are virtually done. I and our baby will be absolutely safe here, right in front of your eyes" she added, seeing his creased brows.

Louis nervously nodded his head and continued holding her in his arms.

Meanwhile, others are making arrangements for Sabrina's first 'virtual appearance' in Kingdom Wentris.

"Edward, don't worry. Gabriel would not be able to harm Sabrina. What he cares the most is his public appearance. He always wants to look like the saint and loyal person" George, Brina's father assured him.

"Dad, Brina is pregnant. Even when she walks, she needs to be cautious because of her stomach. If..f.. something...happens, she would not even be able to protect herself." Louis whispered. "On the end of the day, they had to meet right?" he muttered.

"To be frank, I do not like this arrangement as well. Unfortunately, I know that we don't have any other option," George said, pursing his lips.

"For the first time in my life I am angry with my sister," Louis gritted his teeth.

Brina who eavesdropped this couldn't help but cup his face. "Don't be angry on Elle. She has just followed her heart and you can't forget that she is suffering as well" she lectured him gently.

"I know. I just couldn't control the chaos in my heart" he whispered, pressing his cheek to her palm.

George looked at his daughter and son in law. He knows how this feels like.

But, this is the only right time to make things right.

….

After a few minutes…

"Brina, you are good to go. Everything is arranged and lines are secured" Ethan said, coming out of the monitor room where a dozen professional hackers and tech team are working profusely.

"Thanks Ethan" Brina thanked him as she wriggled out of Louis's iron hold.

However, Louis is reluctant to let her go.
