The ethereal figure made its way down and landed right behind the other imperials, handing Luan the envelope. Gasps could be heard throughout the audience. Joel looked in disbelief as the one that became Liana's fiancé was that guy.
Jasmine, on the other hand, inspected Luan closely. He had introduced himself as a Meskevela, so that meant he was from a ducal household, but still it was within the empire. Why would the Empress decide on him as her only daughter's fiancé?
Was there more to it that they didn't know? She would ask her mother and His Holiness on the way back. Her curiosity was piqued.
Luan accepted the envelope with a smile on his face. As he slowly made his way up the stairs, he stood right next to Liana.
He carefully placed his hand around her waist, and with a smug look on his face, he deliberately glanced at Joel.
