Chapter 414 My sister has not seen much of the world
The Lucas family arrived at the Royal Palace after half an hour's drive.
The palace of the royal family was obviously several times larger than the castle of the Lucas family,and it looked like a building full of classicism.
The buildings of the royal palace were symmetrical, giving off an air of grandeur and rational beauty.
Armed knights stood guard at the entrance, bowing respectfully as they saw them approach.However, members of the Lucas family simply nodded before walking into the palace.
The interior was decorated in Baroque style with occasional touches of Rococo. The halls wereluxurious and magnificent with intricate patterns carved into every stone pillar that made one feelintimidated.
When they walked in, soldiers greeted them respectfully but didn't budge from their posts.
Martha felt extremely uncomfortable since arriving at the royal palace; she felt out of place here.
After the group of people came to the hall, three gorgeously dressed ladies approached them. Theyeach greeted Daisy affectionately by touching noses and kissing cheeks before exchangingpleasantries.
"Daisy! Long time no see! You look even more beautiful now."
"So do you!"
After Daisy greeted them with a smile.
"Why are you so late today? We've been waiting for you for ages!" another lady said.
Daisy gave Martha a meaningful glance before replying, "My sister has just been found after beinglost for years; this is her first time attending such an event, so please forgive us for being late."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's attention shifted to Martha who stood not far awayfrom Daisy.
"Is this the long-lost eldest daughter of your Lucas family?"
"She must be your sister right?"
"Daisy! Is that really your long-lost sister?"
Daisy heard their shocked voices and nodded mockingly while saying, "My sister hasn't seen muchof the world yet, so please be tolerant of her."novelbin
As soon as she finished speaking though, one of her friends whispered sarcastically. "I knew it, yoursister's eyes kept wandering around. It turns out that's the case."
"A wanderer cannot compare with those who grew up in the Lucas family," another girl chimed in,unable to hold back her laughter.
In their opinion, it was a joke for such a person to attend the grand palace banquet.
The person being chosen today was the king's son's wife, with strict requirements for both identityand behavior. It was impossible for Martha to climb up that ladder.
Daisy laughed mockingly and didn't stop her friends from humiliating Martha. In fact, she enjoyedseeing it happen.
Martha didn't pay attention to these taunts, anyway, she attended this banquet because she had to.
On the other hand, Sam, who was standing on the side, looked slightly gloomy, and led Marthaaway from the crowd towards an empty space nearby.
After the two walked to the long table, SSam gentlemanly poured a glass of red wine for Martha andsaid reassuringly, "Don't be nervous, it's just a palace banquet."
"Um."
Martha responded lightly while occasionally glancing around at people out of the corner of her eye.
Sam smiled faintly as he walked two steps closer to Martha's side before quietly introducinginformation about royalty.
"Now the king has died of illness, and all affairs will be presided over by the queen for the timebeing. The successor is called Alain Ducasse, and he will become the king in the near future."
Martha nodded, gently shaking the red wine glass in her hand, not paying much attention to whatSam said.
In her opinion, she returned to the Lucas family just to investigate the truth about her mother. As forwho was in charge of the royal family and who was the new king, it had nothing to do with her.
Sam frowned slightly when he saw the casual look of the woman beside him. After hesitating for awhile, he still couldn't help reminding her.
"You can only get what you want if you become King Alain Ducasse's wife."
"Wife?"
Martha turned her head to look at Sam standing beside her in shock, her pupils were full ofdisbelief.
Married to the new king, how could she leave here?
Sam silently looked at the shocked woman, didn't say much, just darkened his eyes, turned and leftthe place.
He knew that Martha didn't want to marry the Alain, but... Eve made Martha dress like this today,wasn't it to attract Alain and make Martha a queen?
He still wanted to talk to Martha, but Louis was here, so he couldn't stay longer.
And Martha stayed where he was after Sam left, watching him leave in a daze.
Soon, Alain Ducasse would become a king, so today... the palace banquet was held to choose hiswife.
Martha frowned slightly, and tightened her hand holding the wine glass, constantly analyzing whatSam just said in her mind.
"You can only get what you want if you become King Alain Ducasse's wife. Does this mean that onlyby becoming a queen can she investigate things about her mother, or is that the only way to savethe Lucas family?'
Soon, Martha's thoughts were interrupted by Louis.
"What are you thinking?"
