Night fell over the city, but the Stuar mansion and the Royal palace were buzzing with frantic energy. After the final decisions were made, the families departed to prepare for the engagement. Xavier remained under high-alert security at the hospital, with a private team of elite nurses and paramilitary guards stationed at his door.
Levis and Bright finally departed for the Heart of Sweet Shop. The moment they stepped through the door, Nora rushed forward, catching Levis in a tight grip.
"Oh, Levis! The news is everywhere! The media is full of the Stuar family, the Royals, and that horrible accident Xavier had," Nora cried. "I tried to call you yesterday, but I couldn't get through. Bright told me everything this morning. But now... now the news says the engagement is tomorrow? You said it was Saturday! Why the rush? What is happening?"
"Aunt, where is Mom? I need to talk to her," Levis said, gently sidestepping the questions.
