Chapter 123
With everyone’s attention on her, Lana, the little princess, smiled proudly during Lucas” speech.
“Two years ago, we were both in Bartham, celebrating her birthday with her family. However, due to my job transler last year, we were separated by distance, spending more time apart than together. It caused my sittle princess a great deal of hardship. She left her family behind and flew to Covenford to spend her 24th birthday with me today.”
Lucas’ hand gradually moved upward, wrapping around Lana’s waist. Affection lilled his gaze, and his tone grew gentler as he said. “I hope
you like everything I’ve prepared for you.”
As his words fell Lana burned her head to look at him.
“I really like it” she said softly.

The audience began to cheer, shouting. “Kiss her! Kiss her!”
They seemed more excited than Lucas himself, Blushing, Lucas laughed along with the crowd. He looked at Lana but made no moves.
After a while, he shook his head and said. Tm shy. Let’s skip that”
Immediately, a chorus of boos erupted from the audience, and someone even shouted, “Lucas! What kind of man are you?”
It caused a wave of laughter. Even Lucas himsell laughed along.
“There are too many people here, it wouldn’t be appropriate,” he said, scratching his nose. Handing the microphone to Lana, he asked. “Is there anything else you’d like to say?”
Lana took the microphone and curtsied to the crowd.
“Thank you for coming, everyone.” she said, her voice soft and sweet, perfectly complementing her cute doll-like face.
“And of course…” She turned to Lucas. “The person I want to thank the most is my boyfriend.”
Lucas’ grin grew wider, and he laughed even louder. Without warning, Lana cupped Lucas’ face with both hands and tiptoed to place a light kiss on his lips.
Lucas froze, staring at her. Meanwhile, screams, whistles, and table-pounding noises erupted in the venue due to Lana’s bold actions. Larissa, on the other hand, was shocked.
She still remembered Lana as a ten-year-old girl in middle school constantly receiving warmings from her parents and teachers about not engaging in early relationships, despite receiving confessions from male classmates every day.
