I Have A Terminally Ill Duke As My Husband (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 91

The nobles attending the ball hosted by the Crown Princess had exactly two points of interest.

First, they wondered how Patricia would arrange the ball, considering Antwarte had previously loved decorations so extravagant they hurt the eyes.

Most nobles assumed Patricia, who had no backing whatsoever in Omakurt, would not be able to overcome Bianca—the de facto power within the palace.

Although Antwarte had been deposed as empress and locked away in the spire, the palace staff hadn’t changed, so they believed Bianca still effectively ruled the palace.

However, contrary to their expectations, there was not a trace of Antwarte’s influence at this ball.

Though no one said it aloud, everyone was curious about how Patricia had managed to defeat Bianca.

The second topic of interest was the announcement of Luan and Mercian’s marriage.

Because Luan had shaken the entire empire for months after his return, searching frantically for Mercian, the nobles were curious about Mercian, who had never set foot in society.

Most didn’t even remember Mercian’s face clearly, having only glimpsed her briefly at Luan’s first wedding.

As expected, Viseluke made the marriage announcement, and they stared at Mercian—more ordinary than anticipated, yet elegant and graceful—with curious eyes.

But suddenly, everyone was baffled by Lucianne’s remark and began watching Luan cautiously.

Knowing Luan as they did, they thought that if Lucianne’s words were true and he couldn’t marry Mercian, Luan surely wouldn’t just stand by idly.

After all, he wasn’t just anyone—he was Luan, the Empire’s divine envoy.

Some nobles even looked at the young viscountess with pity, astonished that she dared oppose Luan’s marriage so brazenly.

As everyone wondered how Luan and Mercian’s marriage would proceed, Patricia’s sudden words silenced the ballroom instantly.
