Chapter 14
Dinner at the Palace was a lively affair that evening. Dowager Amelia, Lyra, Antara, and Tanin were seated at the grand dining table, their laughter echoing through the luxurious hall. The twins were recounting stories from their shopping spree, their faces glowing with excitement, while Tanin occasionally chimed in with her own humorous remarks.
Damian entered the room, his presence immediately commanding attention. Clearing his throat, he walked to the head of the table and sat down. A maid quickly served him dinner as he nodded at Tanin's cheerful greeting and formally acknowledged his mother.
"How was your day, Damian?" Dowager Amelia asked, her tone filled with maternal care.
"It was fine," Damian replied curtly, his focus shifting to his meal.
