The day of the engagement came, before Abraham had given him the consent to do what Valencia wanted to do. The girl now looks beautiful and elegant with an engagement dress specially chosen by Charly. Of course Valencia agreed to the engagement today because he had a certain purpose and purpose.
As she was dressing up, Guilla and Linnea came to her in the dressing room. Valencia responded to their arrival with a sour expression.
"Congratulations on your engagement" said Guilla.
Guilla's condition has now fully recovered from what Valencia has done. However, her stepmother suffered a deep trauma that made her unable to eat meat because every time she saw meat, she was immediately overshadowed by the corpse of the servant dangling above the ceiling of her room.
"Jeez, who would have thought that you would drop the position of being a candidate for Duchess Nerio," Linnea added in a mocking tone.
Linnea despite having been taught a lesson, he had never deterred from trying to provoke Valencia's fury. He felt more powerful because his existence shifted the position of Valencia in this residence.
"Look at the faces of the two of you in the mirror, the longer the older you look. That's because you like to piss me off."
Valencia responded to them casually so Valencia's counter-words made them ride apoplexy.
"Whatdidyou say? How dare you keep lowering—"
"Sstt, you better shut up before I cut off your tongue" Valencia stood up from his seat.
Valencia slowly stepped out of the room while being led by a number of servants. While Guilla and Linnea simultaneously showed furious expressions towards Valencia.
"You better be careful from now on because I can make you suffer more than ever" Valencia snapped.
Valencia walked towards the engagement hall, he had prepared a surprise to welcome the downfall of Duke Nerio's family.
"Miss Valencia Allerick entered the room."
The stunningly graceful steps attracted the attention of the entire eye in the vast hall room. Everyone stared at Valencia in amazement. Despite his crazy nature, he had an aura that women in general did not have. Valencia charm also sweeps all emotions in every corner of the room.
At the end of the Valencia road, Charly had been waiting with a proud smile expanding on his face. He was very happy to know that Valencia had agreed to an engagement proposal after he was rejected many times by the girl of his dreams.
"Give me your hand."
Charly reached out his hand, Valencia still with his fake smile immediately received the helping hand.
'Hold, Bell. You just have to hold it until before this dog*n puts a ring on my sweet fingers, ' the inner Valencia churns.
By the time the invited guests had all arrived, Duke Nerio had begun to take over the party. He stood higher among the guests accompanied by a pus-covered smile on his lips.
"Welcome and thank you for attending my only son's engagement. Please enjoy the show, none of you come home empty-belly," exclaimed Duke Nerio with a happy laugh.
Minutes later, the engagement ring exchange between Valencia and Charly arrived.
'Finished exchanging rings with her, then this girl will be mine. I'll just marry her to make her completely under my influence, ' thought Charly to be very cunning.
BRAAKK!
Attention focused on them, but when Charly almost put the ring into Valencia's sweet fingers, the door leaves collapsed due to exposure to someone's kick. It shakes all the focus of the people who are there.
"This engagement can't be done without my consent."
"Your Honorable Archduke Calestine. Are you trying to break my daughter's engagement? I don't remember inviting you before" Adarian said with a sharp eye.
"Your daughter? You mean Valencia Allerick? Gosh, should I call it Valencia Calestine now?"
Adarian immediately froze, the situation was getting excited and uncontrolled again. Adarian still doesn't know what Henzo said just now.
"Did I hear wrong? Archduke said Miss Valencia's name was Calestine?"
"It's crazy, does that mean Miss Valencia changed her last name?"
"Don't think anything! There was no way a high-class noble could adopt the child of a high-class noble either."
Such was the commotion that occurred at that time, they were busy with the contents of their respective minds. Adarian strengthened his gaze towards Henzo.
"What do you mean by Valencia Calestine? The boy's name is Valencia Allerick!" adarian raised his voice.
"Valencia has officially become my daughter."
Henzo signaled to Arian, the secretary, to go forward and read the contents of the official decree of the Emperor.
"One year ago Archduke Henzo Calestine had submitted a request for the adoption of Miss Valencia Allerick to the court. New decision came out after Miss Valencia's graduation."
"Based on the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess's ill-treatment of their daughter during this time, therefore I as the Emperor approved this adoption. Starting today, Valencia Allerick officially changed its name to Valencia Calestine."
"In addition, Miss Valencia has been decided to become the heir to the entire fortune of the Archduke Calestine as well as the future heir to the leadership of the Archduke Calestine family. All decisions regarding the engagement and all matters concerning Miss Valencia are left to the Archduke Calestine entirely."
Arian closed the scroll of his letter and let the situation full of shocking things flow just like that. The entire hall was completely at a loss for words to respond to the situation.
"Valencia, what does this all mean?" tanya Adarian pressed the tone of talk.
Valencia is moving away from Charly, it's time he did the big plan he has been putting together for some time now.
"Grand Duke, I have agreed to Archduke Calestine's request to become his adopted son. You do not need to ask further because all the answers have been written on the official letter given by the Emperor," said Valencia.
Linnea, Guilla, and Helen were unable to speak or respond. Those in different corners of the room could only petrify to witness the most shocking thing today. They were presented by a sudden announcement in the middle of the engagement event.
'Valencia became Archduke Calestine's adopted son? Is he kidding? Not likely. He stood even higher than me, Linnea's inner fidget.
Adarian was bluffing his teeth, both of his hands clenching firmly suppressing his anger deeply.
"What's your reason for accepting the Archduke Calestine's request?" Once again Adarian asked a question.
"the reason? Of course because the Archduke Calestine was more handsome and richer. In fact, his wealth alone can buy your pride."
"Bad! Don't think you can run after making this mess. You useless child!"
Adarian raised his hand high, preparing to slap into Valencia's cheek. However, Henzo's burly hand had already held back Adarian's ill intentions.
"Hey, what do you want my daughter to do? Never touch my daughter's expensive skin. If only his fingertips were injured because of you, I wouldn't hesitate to finish your life this very second."
