King Dragomir gave a testing smile to Adeline and expressed how he felt about Bennett. "He is a Lord who comes from a noble family. I have seen him dedicated to serving you and the Kingdom. And he actually has a good understanding about almost everything, from war tactics to general administration."

Dragomir held Adeline\'s hand and continued to praise Bennett, "And to add to that, he is also very good looking and has a good heart. In my opinion, he will be a perfect Prince Consort in the future. So why don\'t you consider him as your possible future husband?"

Upon hearing the words \'future husband\', Adeline had another episode of fleeting whispers and images in her mind.

"I am the future husband of Adeline. See, I have already put a ring on her finger."

Adeline was keeping her head down and wincing in pain. Whenever she would get such episodes, she would get a severe headache for a few seconds. A fight between her mind and the spell would occur in moments like that. She would do her best to press her mind and remember those fleeting pieces of her memories while the spell would do its best to conceal her memories from her.

Theodore was ready to smack that old man on the neck and make him faint to prevent him from talking anymore. However, he held his thought when he saw that something was wrong with Adeline.

King Dragomir was waiting for Adeline\'s reply but when he noticed that she was closing her eyes as if she was trying to suppress a great pain, he asked hastily, "Adeline, are you feeling unwell?"

Adeline finally raised her head and replied, "I am alright now. I just had a small headache."

"Is it because of what I said?" Dragomir looked genuinely apologetic. No one else knew better than him regarding how it felt when the others would pressurize to get married.

Adeline smiled and shook her head. "No! It\'s not because of that. I can understand that you want to find a suitable husband for me. And yes, I agree that Bennett is a good man."

Theodore was now standing in front of the father and daughter duo, ready to smack whoever required smacking.

But on contrary to what Theodore had expected, Adeline spoke up for herself, "But I don\'t think I will be able to see Bennett as anything more than a great assistant. In fact, I don\'t want to see anyone else as my future husband just yet. I know I reached a marriageable age today but I still consider myself to be very young."

And she further added, "Also, I don\'t want to get married to someone after thinking he is perfect. I want to get married to someone after feeling that he is the right one. It is okay if he has some flaws in him. The only thing I care about is that he should be able to make me feel happy when I am with him. I want to wait for someone special who will make my heart beat just the way mother made yours to beat."

"That\'s my woman…" Theodore was grinning ear to ear when he listened to what Adeline had just said. He was over the moon when she said that she wanted to wait for someone special. He was so happy that he wanted to shower her with kisses.

Out of the blue, King Dragomir burst out into laughter and patted Adeline on her shoulder. Thankfully, he did not attract too many eyes because the hall was filled with music, and people were busy eating, drinking, and dancing to their fill.

"I didn\'t know that my daughter can even think like this. You always look so serious and collected so I wrongly assumed that you wouldn\'t believe in such things as love. You surprised me!" Dragomir was surprisingly happy to hear that his daughter valued love so much. He didn\'t say it but he wanted his daughter to have a happy love life that he could not have in this lifetime.

The maids finally came with food and drinks for the Princess and the King. They set the plate on a table and left. Adeline and Dragomir talked for some more while Theodore happily walked around in the hall.

After the ceremony was over, Bennett asked the servants to carry all the gifts that the Princess had received and take them to the Princess\'s quarter. And he took that wooden box containing the gift from Lillian so that he could dump it somewhere.

The ceremony took almost all day to finish. Adeline was already tired and wanted to go to bed immediately. However, she also wanted to check the gift that Nigel had sent her from Aberdeen. She did not have the strength to hold her curiosity till tomorrow.

Thus, she shuffled through the room where all of her gifts were stored. After searching for a while in that pile of gifts, she finally found the cylindrical container that she was looking for.

She carried that and literally ran to her private chamber. She hastily sat down on her study table and then opened the container.

Theodore, who had obviously followed Adeline back to her room, was also really curious as to why Adeline was so excited about that particular gift. He silently stood by Adeline\'s side and watched her as she took out some sheets of paper from that container.

Adeline unrolled the bigger sheet of paper. And the moment her eyes fell on that paper, her heart just melted away.

"Awwww… look at them… they grew up so much already!" Adeline gazed at the colored painting of her twin niece and nephew with glistening eyes.

Theodore raised his brows in amusement and thought, "Junior puppies? They do look like a mix of their parents. And they kinda look cute." Theodore smiled seeing Adeline crying over a painting of junior puppies.

The twins were around six months old already. Adeline\'s niece, Niylah, had silky black hair like that of her father. And Adeline\'s nephew, Ramon, had curly hair like that of his mother.

Both of them had heterochromia. One of their eyes was sapphire blue in color while the other one was light brown in color. This was the reason why Adeline had asked for a colored painting of the twins in her previous letter to her brother. She wanted to see their beautiful eyes.

After staring at the painting of her niece and nephew for about half an hour, Adeline finally shifted her focus on the letter that her brother had sent her.
