As today was Prisci’s birthday, the main hall was naturally reserved for her and the female guests.
Due to her special status, the event was specially held in the main hall of the central courtyard.
When Princess Margot and Princess Yvette arrived, Mrs. Voss also made her appearance, apanied by Penelope and her daughter–inw and granddaughter.
Soon after, Madison arrived with Wanda and Sabrina.
Adide scanned the crowd and was surprised to spot a familiar face–Sabrina hade with Madison and Wanda.
Interesting.
Upon Penelope’s arrival, Adide helped Prisci to her feet and greeted her.
Penelope, though advanced in age and rarely social, hade especially for the asion.
Prisci felt obliged to wee her personally.
Surrounded by her family, Penelope entered. The Stormridge Pack’s influence was questionable, but their numbers were impressive.
At ny–plus, everyone rose to greet her, even Princess Margot and the others bowed.
“How embarrassing,” Penelope said as she returned everyone’s courtesies.
“Today is Prisci’s birthday party. I’m just a food lover here to enjoy a meal”
Princess Margot responded, “Penelope, during the freezing rain disasterst time, you stepped forward and raised a substantial amount of funds for the disaster area, supplying clothes and food. Your kindness and courage put us royal princesses to shame.”
Penelope replied, “It was but a small effort. Please don’t exaggerate it into a grand merit. I can’t bear such praise. Compared to Alpha Bentley, Alpha Zander, and Alpha Lance, who have made significant. contributions to the nation’s defense and expansion, my actions pale in significance. So, let‘
it.”
Penelope’s humility earned her even greater respect from those present.
Prisci was anxious<b>. </b>

She wished Penelope had made such remarks when Hera arrived, so Hera could hear of her son and his family’s achievements and be consumed by envy.
However, it wasn’t until after Penelope’s speech that Hera and Veronica entered. Hera held a grandson in one hand and a granddaughter in the other.

The children were adorable, evoking a mix of warmth and… jealousy in Prisci.
Why had she brought her grandchildren? To show off?
If her own son weren’t at war, she’d likely be a grandmother too.
Given Hera’s high status, the nobledies present also rose to greet her.
Madison inquired, “Why has only Luna Veronicae? Where are the two breeders?”
Veronica smiled and said, “One has a young child, and the other is pregnant again. It’s inconvenient for them to venture out. Please excuse their absence.”
The guests offered their congrattions, but Prisci’s eyes zed with envy–another pregnancy?
How fertile was Alpha Ansley? In just a few years of mating, he already had four or five children.
Madison remarked with a smile, “Hera, you’re truly blessed to have your grandchildren surrounding you <i>at </i>such a young age.”
Hera took her seat and chuckled, “Speaking of blessings, I can’tpare to Penelope.”
Penelope responded with a smile, “Everyone here is blessed. But Hera, you’re even more fortunate. Prisci too–your son’s mate is so talented, and Alpha Lance has achieved remarkable military honors. These are true blessings.”
Prisci’s mood brightened upon hearing this.
It was amon truth that those with more life experience often spoke words that resonated deeply.
Her face lit up as she said, “I wish Lance could be like Ansley, enjoying a leisurely life in the capital with <i>a </i>brood of children. Unlike my son, who’s always busy. Sometimes I see him working from dawn till dusk, only returning homete at night. It breaks my heart.”
Hera interjected with a smile, “That’s proof of Lance’s capability and responsibility.”
As she spoke, Hera cradled her grandson, giving him a gentle kiss,
The plump little one wrapped his arms around her neck and called out, “Granny,” in a childish voice that -warmed the heart.
Prisci’s moment of smugness quickly soured into envy.
Madison, noticing Prisci’s changing expression, remarked, “Adide and Lance have bet…ated for months, yet there’s no news of a pregnancy. How peculiar.”
Sabrina nced at Adide upon hearing this, her eyes brimming with provocation.
Adide noticed but merely offered a faint smile, indifferent to the barb.
Madison, holding her coffee cup, slowly said, “In my view, royal heirs should all mate early and <b>have </b>pups soon. Ensuring the continuation of the Lycan bloodline is paramount. As for government <b>work</b><b>, </b>there <b>are </b>plenty of officials who can handle it.”
