Following the bodyguards inside, he maintained a reserved and solemn demeanor, his expression composed and courteous as he approached.

"Mr. Shield, Madam/has instructed us to treat you as an honored guest," one of the bodyguards said warmly. "Please, come in. Mrs. Melody and Mr. Truman are currently hosting guests at the tea banquet. We've already sent word to Mrs. Melody, and she'll be cut to see you shortly."

The guards' attitude had shifted completely from the strict, detached stance they'd displayed at the entrance. Now, they introduced him to Regal Glade and explained the current events at the tea banquet with friendly enthusiasm.

Tea banquets weren't something just anyone could attend.

Without an invitation from Truman, ordinary people couldn't even step into that small courtyard.

This was why Melanie and Alfred could only view the tea banquets from the upstairs pavilion.

Of course, at Regal Glade, aside from Truman and his wife, Edward was also free to come and go as he pleased.

The event was already in full swing, with the second round of tea riddles reaching an intense level. Amanda, raised in a family known for its refined values, demonstrated impressive skill, deftly solving the riddles with ease. Melody, to everyone's surprise, also showed remarkable eloquence and insight, matching Amanda's performance.

In the end, the two women tied, drawing the round to a close and signaling a short intermission. Feeling weary from sitting for so long, Melody rose gracefully, her poised demeanor subtly commanding the attention of those around her.

Amanda, meanwhile, had settled back into her seat with a slightly strained expression, her knuckles still faintly trembling. She knew her victory had been narrow. If they continued, she couldn't be certain of winning against Melody.

This unsettling thought lingered. Amanda had a lifelong drive to excel in every social circle she entered, aiming to be the most accomplished young woman among the elite families.

Fortunately, there was still the final round-the hundred plays, the most challenging aspect of the tea competition. It required not only creativity but also exceptional skill. Amanda was aware that Melody's mastery of the hundred plays was formidable; besting her on technique alone would be nearly impossible. But if Melody were to accidentally inhale a bit of powdered herb and suffer a sudden allergic reaction, the outcome might shift dramatically.

Feeling her confidence return, Amanda's expression softened, settling into a composed calm. Percy, observing Amanda's suddenly serene manner, frowned in suspicion. What scheme is Amanda cooking up

now?

Meanwhile, Melody moved to offer the first cup of Dragon Pearl tea to Truman. She then poured a few small cups for the professors attending the tea banquet grateful for their presence and attentively ensuring they sampled the fresh tea. She poured a cup for Matthew as a gesture of appreciation.

The atmosphere grew warmer as Melody's considerate gestures won over the guests, her popularity steadily rising. Just then, a bodyguard's abrupt report interrupted the lively scene.

"Mrs. Melody, you have a visitor. He said he's your brother. Madam specifically instructed us to bring him here to see you; he's waiting in the tea pavilion. It's meant to be a surprise."

The mention of "brother" and "surprise" left Melody momentarily breathless. Her first thought was that Martin had woken up.

Though Melody's schedule had been hectic, she still found time every few days to visit Martin in the private care facility. His attending doctor had recently shared promising news: Martin's brainwave activity had increased significantly. If it remained at that heightened frequency, there was a 50% chance he might regain consciousness.

This news had been on her mind constantly. The thought of Martin filled her with such hope that she instinctively assumed it was him.

After all, only Martin would come looking for her immediately after waking.

As for the Shields, in her past life, she'd spent years seeking the faintest bit of affection from them, sacrificing her pride in hopes of receiving some small kindness. However, she now realized that Timothy, her presumed brother, would never visit her voluntarily. Timothy's pride as the eldest of the Shields family would never allow him to make amends-he'd rather wait for her to seek him out. A man like him would never willingly bow to Melody.

These thoughts flashed rapidly through her mind as she stood, beaming with excitement. Her petite frame moved with a light, cheerful step as she hurried outside. "Alright, I'll go see him now!"
