Love At The Wrong Table

Chapter 1993 A Dance to Captivate the World

The morning sunlight bathed the Silverbane estate in a warm, golden glow,

accentuating the grandeur of its architecture and making it appear even

more radiant and awe–inspiring.

Inside the private hall of the Quill estate, hundreds of prominent figures from

Eldoria had already gathered below the stage, their hearts racing with

anticipation. Their eyes sparkled with longing as they had come for one

reason: to catch a glimpse of the woman whose beauty was as fleeting as a

shooting star–one of the Four Beauties, the Peony, Yuna.

“Speaking of Yuna,” a voice murmured from the crowd, “I’ve never had the

pleasure of seeing her in person. But I do know her aunt, the legendary

Maestro Moretti from back in the day.”

“Yes, that woman was a sight to behold, not only for her beauty but for her

mesmerizing dance. It was like watching a phoenix soar gracefully through

the sky,” another chimed in.

“Exactly! I heard that thirty years ago, when support for the president was low

and his approval ratings were dismal, Maestro Moretti performed a dance

that enchanted the city. She expressed her hope for him to win the election,

and guess what happened next?”

“Oh, please, no need for mystery! Everyone knows that story. Thanks to that

dance, the president made a miraculous comeback!”

“Indeed! Maestro Moretti changed the course of history, which is why she’s

hailed as the greatest of the Four Beauties. Now, her niece is set to perform in

Eldoria. This is a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity!”

As the opera hall buzzed with excitement, Emmanuel entered alongside

Sage. Only Larry stood to greet them.

Sage surveyed the scene, noting that the Quill estate was brimming with

experts, including snipers strategically positioned around the hall. It was

evident this was no ordinary gathering; it was a carefully orchestrated trap.

Yet Emmanuel appeared indifferent, as if oblivious to the undercurrents of

tension.

“Emmanuel, Miss Yuna is performing for the Quill family today,” Larry

explained with a polite demeanor. “My grandfather and the others have been

eagerly waiting for her at the venue, which is why he couldn’t come to greet

you in person. I hope you understand.”

Emmanuel smiled calmly, his composure unwavering.

However, Sage couldn’t hold back. “Oh, it’s true that watching a beauty dance

is one thing, but treating my boss as if he doesn’t matter is quite another. It

seems your family’s attitude has shifted completely since yesterday.”

Larry’s expression remained inscrutable, yet he replied candidly, “If you knew

that, why did you come? If I were you, I wouldn’t have.”

“At least you’re straightforward,” Emmanuel remarked as he followed Larry

towards the hall. “But my sister is still here at the estate. I have my reasons for

being here.”

“Emmanuel, you’re a real man. I admire that about you. But you haven’t made

the wisest choice,” Larry admitted.

t

“You’re a man too. Unfortunately, your perspective doesn’t pierce through

the fog. There are matters you just don’t grasp,” Emmanuel countered coolly.

Larry fell silent, recognizing the futility of further discussion. It was clear there

was no reasoning with Emmanuel. Without another word, he guided them

into the venue.

As if orchestrated in advance, the influential figures inside had awaited

Yuna’s performance with bated breath. Yet she did not appear until the

moment Emmanuel entered, when she graced the stage.

Emmanuel’s gaze sharpened as he spotted her. Though Yuna was his

adversary, her allure and the effect she had on men were undeniable. She

truly was exceptional.

Her dance attire, crafted from sleek, flowing fabric, shimmered under the

lights, accentuating her graceful figure. The moment she stepped onto the

stage, the crowd erupted in a frenzy.

Today, she wore no veil, and even from a distance, her captivating eyes and

breathtaking figure could steal anyone heart. Countless men were ready to

lose themselves for her. A single flirtatious glance from her would have most

of them willingly offering their lives in exchange for her affection

Since Emmanuel was already there, he chose to sit back and relish her

dance. Truthfully, her skills were of the highest caliber, ordinary dancers could

not hope to reach her level.

Her skirt, adorned with delicate, rippling pleats, added depth and richness to

each step she took. The length of the dress shifted with the rhythm of the

music–one moment, it flowed like a long, elegant gown, and with a sudden

change in tempo, it transformed into a snug, seductive mini–dress that

revealed her flawless, alabaster legs. The effect of the dance soared to new

heights, inciting cheers from the crowd.

“Yuna!” the audience chanted.

“Yuna!”

“Peony!”

“The majestic peony in full bloom!”

“Yuna, I love you!”

“Yuna, I’ll love you for a hundred years! I’m the heartthrob of Eldoria! I’d walk

through fire for you!”

As the audience’s fervor grew, Sage felt a twinge of anxiety. It was evident

that Yuna’s performance for the Quill family held a deeper purpose.

Yet Emmanuel remained unflappable, as if nothing could disturb his

composure. Many rulers had fallen under the spell of beautiful women, but he

would never be that kind of man.

Yuna’s gaze swept across the crowd, subtly gauging their reactions. When

her eyes briefly landed on someone, that person’s heart raced with

excitement. She exchanged a glance with Gwain, who responded with a cool,

proud smile. Finally, her gaze fell on Emmanuel, but his expression remained

stoic and unreadable.

A flicker of cold light glimmered in Yuna’s enchanting eyes, vanishing as

swiftly as it had appeared. She twirled her sleeves with grace, elegantly

showcasing the beauty of her dance movements and the allure of her figure.

Each of her motions danced between lightness and elegance, infused with a

vibrant energy and a seductive charm that captivated all who beheld her.

Under the gleaming stage lights, she radiated a dazzling brilliance,

captivating the audience. They watched her intently, mesmerized by her

performance, and found themselves completely immersed in her world. This

stunning woman had succeeded in enchanting everyone in Eldoria with her

mesmerizing dance, yet, unbeknownst to them, a 7.62mm alloy bullet had

nearly pierced Emmanuel’s head during her performance, hidden beneath

the enchanting music.

But this godlike man, possessing extraordinary reflexes and immense inner

strength, had caught the bullet mid–air, holding it firmly in his hand. As the

dance came to an end, the crowd remained spellbound, unable to shake off

the trance that she had woven around them.

In the next moment, under Gwain’s enthusiastic lead, applause erupted

across the venue, drowning out everything else. Yuna gazed down at the

throng of men, who had become utterly entranced by her allure. A flicker of

pride danced in her eyes. The heavens had blessed her with such beauty,

and she would undoubtedly use it to her advantage–to control men across

the world.

“Yuna, could you say a few words to us?” a voice called out from the

audience.

“Yes, Miss Yuna, we’re all your devoted fans!” another chimed in.

“I’m obsessed with you!” shouted another admirer, sending the audience into

a frenzy of excitement.

Yuna gracefully covered her face with a veil, concealing her expression, and

patiently waited for the noise to subside. When the crowd quieted, she spoke

into the microphone, laughter lacing her voice, “Thank you all in Eldoria for

your kindness. I came here today only to dance and to make new friends with

each of you.”

As her words settled, the crowd erupted once more, men shouting in a fervor.

Who wouldn’t want to be friends with one of the four most beautiful women?

Had it not been for the diligent security, some men might have rushed the

stage in their eagerness.

The influence of an A–list celebrity paled in comparison to the prestige of one

of the Four Beauties. A daughter of a top–tier wealthy family, blessed with

both beauty and talent–who in the world could rival her?

Yuna greeted her adoring fans, exchanging a few playful words with some,

radiating like the moon surrounded by stars. After mingling with several

important figures, her gaze finally found Emmanuel. She smiled, a calculating

gleam illuminating her eyes, and spoke with precision, “Is this not the

esteemed son–in–law of the Quillen family, the Grandmaster of Nuthana, Mr.

Emmanuel Lowe?”

The entire room’s attention shifted to Emmanuel, a palpable tension filling the

air. Many already understood the true nature of tonight’s performance. It was

all leading to this moment–to confront Quillen family’s Emmanuel. They

simply waited for the thin veil of pretense to be torn away.

Emmanuel offered a slight nod, compoted and dignified the prominent

figures of Eldoria couldn’t help but be impressed. This man, with his

unshakeable demeanor, was clearly not one to be underestimated.
