    Security was tight since the Gads would not want any random person making it inside, and entry

    The hall was already crowded when Irene and Isaac entered.

    As the trails of water sshed down, the vapor that swirled out of it made the statue appear as if it


    stood atop the clouds.


    Overhead, a luxurious crystal spiraling chandelier was shining with dazzling radiance.


    Couches were arranged by the windows and the table was ced with exquisite confectionery, fruits,


    and snacks, along with alechol of all types and color.

    Franconian men made their way toward him when they saw hime in.


    Isaac nodded slightly and said, "I''ve worked with these gentlemen before."


    Irene nodded.


    "And who might this wonderful be?" one of them asked in Franconian.

    Zidonia.


    Naturally, it was to send a message to the rest that he was married.


    The two Franconians studied her then.


    Her hair was tied elegantly behind her head with a sidelock dangling beside her head, projecting a


    liveliness amid her feminine presence.


    On her fair ears were a pair of white feather-shaped earrings, each of which was encrusted with


    diamonds, with the lowest one appearing like a droplet, refracting the light brightly.


    Her ne was a matching set with her earrings, with a lifelike feather dangling beneath the chain of


    diamonds.


    It was just above her cleavage too, visible from the cutout of the ck dress over her chest, which


    bared her seductive corbone as well.


    The blinding white diamond was a perfect contrast to her ck dress, keeping the ck from getting

    did not affect her beauty, even adding to her appeal — most people who were slim had not an ounce of

    The feet that protruded asionally from her ankle- length gown was dainty and fair, presenting her


    womanly grace.


    "Your wife is simply beautiful," one of the Franconians praised.


    Isaac appeared to appreciate thepliment, his cold visage easing slightly.


    "Do you work? What is your profession?"


    Isaac was just about to answer when Irene replied in fluent Franconian, "I''m a doctor."


    Isaac raised a brow.She could speak Franconian too?
