His nerves, taut for the past few days, finally relaxed, and for the first time in several nights, he slipped into sleep without the aid of pills.
That night, it seemed even the moonlight was exceptionally gentle.
The Prince took his son to a public event, where the future little King and heir made his first public appearance. News like that was definitely worth a media frenzy.
More than two hours before the charity event began, waves of media had already arrived at the venue.
Some were there for live reporting, others staked out their spots in the hopes of capturing the first news of the little King and heir.
Of course, to cope with such a situation, the organizers had upgraded the security level, doubling the number of security personnel. The staff in charge were so cautious that they didn’t even have a proper lunch—a testament to how seriously they took their posts, fearful of any mishap.
"Once the event officially starts, the Duke will surely take the stage to give a speech. That will be our chance to whisk the little guy away,"
disguised as a service staff member, Jessica was straightening the tablecloths while speaking to Gan Yuan, who passed by her side.
With a wig, colored contact lenses, and makeup on, Jessica was hard to recognize unless one was very familiar with her.
Gan Yuan, in order to avoid detection, was dressed as janitorial staff, her large blue uniform and a mask covering most of her face. The media, busy searching for the best angles, didn’t realize that the mother of the future little King and heir was right in front of them.
"Wait for my signal later," Gan Yuan said, taking a tissue from Jessica. "The security has doubled today, so don’t do anything rash."
Jessica nodded and replied softly, "I know, if it doesn’t work out, we’ll figure out another way."
The security upgrade was completely unexpected for her. The entire venue was on high alert, signaling that the task wouldn’t be as simple as she had thought.
If it were just her, Jessica would not be so concerned, but the presence of Gan Yuan made the situation far more serious.
Moses had designated Gan Yuan as a Presidential candidate, and his concern for Gan Yuan was an open secret. If there were any lapses and Gan Yuan got hurt, Jessica couldn’t answer to Moses.
Therefore, Jessica was also very cautious this time.
Wanting to avoid attention, Gan Yuan turned and walked away to a secluded spot, lifting her hand to adjust the wireless earpiece above her ear.
Jessica’s voice immediately came through the earpiece.
"Good, let’s split up and keep in touch if anything comes up, and be extra careful,"
Gan Yuan advised before picking up a trash bin and walking away.
As time passed, various guests also arrived in succession.
In the springtime, the weather in A Country was already very warm during the day. The guests arriving for the midday event dressed lightly, especially the young women who, undeterred by the cold, donned beautiful summer dresses to flaunt their charm.
Originally, this event wasn’t very appealing, but once the news spread that Huangfu Jue would attend, the event’s prestige undoubtedly soared.
Especially for the young women who had begun dreaming again about the eligible bachelor since Gan Yuan’s departure, catching the Duke’s attention at such a gathering was a chance to transform into a phoenix and soar— Who wouldn’t want that?
