Chapter 469

Emeric squinted his eagle–like eyes, exuding an aura of calm composure and dignified majesty as he firmly shook hands with William

In every aspect, he held his own.

“About that incident of the horse racing track, I hope I haven’t caused you any distress, Mr. Morris. My daughter is a bit of a wild child, lacking in worldly experience. If she’s stepped out of line, I hope you’ll forgive her Emeric’s smile was gracious, paired with his deep, resonant voice, revealed the unmistakable presence of an aristocrat.

The crowd was stunned.

Had they seen this right?

The scion of an old money dynasty heir to a royal lineage, and the helmsman of a top–tier financial empire was now extending a friendly, hand to Emeric! The Ashbournes, despite their lavish wealth, only dominated their corner of Skyrim.

William continued to heap praise upon Evadne, sparing no compliments, “Your daughter is a rare gem- not only is she breathtakingly beautiful, but her equestrian skila rival those of professional nders. Among our nation’s lady riders, she’s top–tier. After the racing event, Ford couldn’t stop singing Ms. Evadne’s praises and hoped for another meeting. Both share a passion for horses, and I’m sure they’ll find plenty to talk about”

William gestured to his son, who straightened his tie and walked over with poise.
