Chapter 16 - Chapter 16 {Engagement}

Guinevere smiled, her eyes sparkling with amusement.

"A horse party? That sounds delightful," she said.

"And I think it would be the perfect opportunity to introduce Josephine to high society."

Penelope nodded, a sly grin spreading across her face.

"Yes, let's invite her. It'll be... educational for her."

Lily clapped her hands excitedly.

"Oh, this is going to be so much fun! We can have a dressage competition, and maybe even a polo match!"

Guinevere laughed softly, shaking her head.

"You two are incorrigible," she said affectionately.

"But I love it. Let's do it."

As the three friends continued to plan Penelope's birthday party, Guinevere couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. She knew that Josephine was in for a rude awakening when she faced the cutthroat world of high society. And with Penelope and Lily by her side, Guinevere was more than ready to watch the show.

"Mother, father," Guinevere said.

"Your fiancé returning soon."

"Oh? Jason?" Guinevere asked with a sneer.

"No Jason will be with Josephine," Grace said. David tapped his finger at the table.

Ah yes she recalls something like that she had another back up fiancé they wanted their precious to have Jason a gentle person as for her someone ruthless. Cedric Rohan Aslan Reinholt. There are countless of rumors about this person although we were engaged people referred him as maverick of imperial family. We only ever meant at the time she was seven years old and he was also eleven years old but she doesn't remember what this person looks like nor does she care about love. Over the six years Cedric has proved his numerous worth on the battlefield. To the point his white cape of the navy blue forces turn red from blood stains. That's how he earned his nickname Man Eating Shark, Devilish King, Lucifer, aka God of Death. What he looks like is nothing she recalls so she did not fight it. After all after a month she won't even care about the engagement.

"Yes mother and father," Guinevere said.

Grace and David exchanged a satisfied glance, pleased with Guinevere's compliance.

"That's good to hear," David said.

"Jason is a fine young man. He'll make an excellent husband for Josephine."

"And Cedric will be here soon as well," Grace added.

"He's quite the catch, Guin. You should be grateful."

Guinevere forced a smile, nodding along as her parents spoke. Inwardly, she couldn't care less about either of her supposed fiancés. All that mattered to her was surviving this charade and reclaiming what was rightfully hers.

"Yes, mother," she said dutifully.

"I'm sure Cedric will be... formidable."

She had heard the rumors about the infamous Cedric Rohan. The battlehardened warrior with a reputation for cruelty and ruthlessness. A fitting match for someone like her, she supposed.

As the conversation turned to other matters, Guinevere's mind wandered to Penelope's upcoming birthday party. She knew that Josephine's appearance would cause quite a stir among the high society elite. And with Penelope and Lily by her side, Guinevere was confident that she could expose Josephine for the fraud she truly was.

Two days later

"Father you called me," Guinevere said.

"The imperial family called us over for lunch."

"Oh I see I would make sure to be ready tomorrow," Guinevere said.

"Now we talk about the engagement remember your place Guinevere after a month your cousin will take your place as to marry the crown Prince," Grace said. Guinevere smiled gently her cousin Beatrice hehe she has always liked the crown Prince not shocked she also has similar hair like hers but not hers. But she did not mind it. She is a fake in this family she could not wait to reunite with her birth family only a month and she can meet her birth family.

After the talk Guinevere was so tired she let out a yawn.

"Host I can't believe this family! They make me so angry!" Tun Tun whined.

"So useless Tun Tun it doesn't matter," Guinevere said.

Spicy Noodles: Sorry it has been a while had trouble in this time line! But because of the changes you made things are perfect but still these things happen our biological father would die of a hit and run and as you the person is Josephine and they ask you take a fall for it.

Guinevere eyes became frost cold she will make sure this won't happen.

Guinevere walked toward her desk she saw a letter huh Rohan. A memory came in her mind.

"Eve, I will definitely come back for you but you must not forget me."

"Rohan where are you going how long would it be?" She asked:

"I don't know but when I return
"

"What is you don't come back what if it's long?" She asked.

"Don't say that. Then here in your little brain would believe it. It would feel like something would break promise me, promise you won't forget me," he said.

"Oh I won't forget than."

She forgot about him in truth what ten year old would remember a person?

~As I promise I did not forget you did you remember?~

"Wow host this is the ruthless crown prince?"

Guinevere sighed it seems like things have changed.

In the letter

~Long time no see since tomorrow will be the day we meet. I wonder is your red hair is it still so beautiful? Your gentle smile; and laughter?~

Guinevere chuckled hehe it seems like mother doesn't even know about this the crown prince would also be there the nine young master people call him as well.

The next day at a fancy expensive restaurant.
