the Coral Queen Cruise Ship Incident

Soon, the news of Marigold and Prince Patrick's engagement dominated the front pages of major media outlets, rightfully becoming the foremost topic of public interest.

Many tabloids took the opportunity to report on Marigold's recent developments, and her personal phone was inundated with calls every day. Brian had no choice but to change her phone number and tightly seal off all information, commanding the B.E. public relations team to strictly refrain from disclosing any details regarding Marigold.

He also rushed to the Bennett Manor, in an attempt to confront his grandfather. However, Earl Byron was nowhere to be found.

Swiftly, the royal family sent someone to retrieve Marigold and bring her to the Golden Palace. They claimed it was to allow her to acclimate to royal life before the wedding, but the underlying implication was clear to everyone: she was being confined, particularly to prevent any contact with Brian.
