"Prince Liam is right. Veronica, come and sit here," Hendrey said to Veronica with his usual gentleness.
Xavier looked at Veronica, his eyebrows furrowed, and glanced at Antheena beside him, but he didn't say anything.
On the other hand, Tiffany cast a resentful glance at Veronica and then glared at Hendrey with anger before shamelessly sitting down next to Liam, who was in the main seat.
The lawn was lit with bonfires, and seven or eight rectangular low tables were placed around the bonfires. Each table had two votive candle stands, and there were delicious food and wine on the tables, all of which were pleasing to the eye, nose, and palate.
"She is my honored guest, so naturally she should sit next to me." Liam snarled at Hendrey before telling Veronica, "Miss Murphy, please sit here."
Victoria wished to reject both Hendrey and Liam, lest she face an extremely jealous certain someone later that night, which would be disastrous.
"I…"
"Come and sit here, I won't eat you." Liam didn't give Veronica a chance to argue at all. He pulled her hand and sat her in the main seat.
At that moment, Veronica felt a chill down her spine. She released his hand quickly because she was worried that if she waited even a split second, Matthew would be choking Liam.
"I can walk by myself," she said with an awkward smile.
Then, Liam snapped his fingers, and a band came over to play. A group of beautiful women in hidden clan costumes came forward to dance.
It was a joyful and festive scene, complete with songs and dancing.
"Here, let's drink."
Liam held up his wine glass and clinked glasses with everyone. He smiled at Veronica and said, "This is the best wine of our hidden clan. It's really good. Try it."
"Thank you," Veronica politely replied.
