Chapter 553 - The Mysterious Bride And Groom (1/2)

The girls were not the only people who were puzzled. Most people in attendance thought Nicolae Medici was the groom since they knew he was Lauriel's son, the only successor of the Medici family. But now, he was standing in the party as one of the guests.

Was he not the real groom?

Then why the invitation said it was the wedding between the son of the Medici family and the daughter of the Schneider family?

Who was this daughter? Why was she ever announced? And who was the son that was about to marry her if it was not Nicolae? Was there another son in the Medici family?

Who was he? How mysterious!

Both the bride and the groom were like pieces of a puzzle that were making everyone curious.

Meanwhile, Kit Blue, who was sitting with her father and mother, looked very agitated. She had seen Ned and Portia among the guests but she had not seen Elios Linden.

He was supposed to come with Ned and Portia, wasn't he? Or was he not invited?

But that should not be possible!

It had been a long time since Kit met Eli and she really hoped that this time she would get another chance to speak with him. Maybe after this wedding, her family could once again urge Ned and Portia to formalize her engagement with Eli. Kit had been waiting for four years and her patience was running thin.

Kit finally could not take it anymore and forced her mother and father to approach Ned and Portia who seemed to be having a conversation with the host family.

”Good evening, Lord Ned and Lady Portia,” Kit bowed like a royal princess before Ned and Portia, smiling sweetly. ”I hope you are both well.”

Ned nodded at Lex and his wife. Portia also smiled and hugged Kit. ”We're fine. How have you been?”

”We've been good too.” Kit then looked around her, pretending that she just noticed the situation, ”Hmm ... is Eli here, Lady Portia? We haven't seen him around.”

Portia raised one of her eyebrows and almost grumbled about the guy in question in front of the Blue family since he seemed to be taking his sweet time to make an appearance, but she held back. ”He's already here. He should be out soon.”

”Ohh ... I can't wait to see him!” Kit exclaimed enthusiastically.

The girl's voice caught Lauriel and Finland's attention. They realized that Kit had feelings for Alaric but did not know that the young man she liked would formalize his marriage this afternoon.

”I remember you,” Lauriel commented, ”You also came to a party at this place four years ago, didn't you? At that time, I was announcing my son, Nicolae.”

Kit turned to the man and nodded. ”That's right, Lord Lauriel. How's Nicolae doing? I met him several years ago at Reykjavik airport together with ... what's her name, the girl who has twins ...”

”Oh, you mean Aleksis?” Lauriel asked.

Kit Blue immediately frowned. She really didn't like remembering the lowly girl who had taken Nicolae away from her.
