"My poor granddaughter! Why are you apologizing? You did not do anything wrong." Minister Aaron said gently with genuine concern on his face.

"Yeah! It is not like you seduce them or give them any reason." Lady Andrea supported her father's statement.

"Your mother is right! It is not your fault that some people are just utterly indecent and way perverse!" General Ardor said seriously while maintaining his scary aura.

"Wife, it is not your fault. There is nothing to apologize for, okay?" Zander declared and looked at her gently. He thought that his annoyance and helplessness must be putting a strain on her.

Beatrix was overwhelmed by happiness. She could feel how much they love and care for her. She is truly lucky to have a family and husband that loves her truly and unconditionally! They are always there to help and protect her! By the time they reached the entrance of the banquet hall, they are already used to the other people's excessive admiration and preposterous actions in her presence so when the herald and guards at the entrance of the banquet hall dropped their jaws and stared at Beatrix like a fool, it was General Ardor who took the initiative of getting them back to reality and reminding them of their duty. Some of them turned white in fear while others turned red in shame.

The herald pulled himself together and began announcing the presence of the powerful people next to him. Based on seniority, the herald announced the arrival of Minister Aaron Marvel, he waited for the old minister to sit on his reserved spot in the banquet hall before he announced the arrival of General Ardor Lamoreaux and Lady Andrea Marvel. He also waited for them to sit comfortably on their reserved spot before he finally announced the arrival of Minister Zander King and his wife, Lady Beatrix Lamoreaux to everyone in the banquet hall! As expected, the servants stopped what they are doing, the famous musicians stopped playing their musical instruments and the indistinct, soft conversation of people inside the banquet hall stopped at once! Suddenly, the entire hall was deadly silent! Everyone inside the hall looked at the entrance and waited for the two people to step inside.

They could not see it but Zander and Beatrix could feel the intensity of numerous pairs of eyes looking at the entrance door, waiting for both of them to step inside the hall and let them see the face of the great general's notorious daughter also known as the monstrous wife of the intelligent young minister! Beatrix could not help but roll her eyes as she thought...

So much for not snatching the limelight! Dropping my name in the public is already enough to make everyone so curious and look eagerly!

"Wife, I am here with you!" Zander told her lovingly and squeezed her hand softly to give her more assurance.

"I know!" She replied and squeezed his hand softly too.

They began to step inside the banquet hall and show their presence to everyone. They heard several gasps of surprise and extreme admiration! She immediately captured the full attention and curiosity of everyone.

The men inside the hall gawked at the celestial beauty. They suddenly realized why the handsome and intelligent young minister prefers to go home right after the court meetings.

If she is the monster they are talking about, then I would gladly let her eat me alive! No wonder Minister King wants to home immediately! He volunteers every night!

They secretly thought while staring at the unbelievably beautiful woman walking gracefully on the carpeted floor. They finally understood that it was not because the young minister was afraid of the general's wrath. It is because this ethereal beauty is waiting for him at home!

On the other hand, the women have different reactions to the new revelation. Some women stared at her with blatant amazement, others looked at her with extreme admiration but most of them glared at her with hostility and envy, particularly those women who noticed that their husband, betrothed, or their secret beloved is gawking or ogling her!

Men are fools! They forgot that bitch is a witch! She had them under her dark magic and spells!

The envious women thought while secretly gritting their teeth in extreme anger while observing their men who almost drool like rabid dogs! The perfect example is Dinah Khalajan. She is secretly glaring with extreme hate and jealousy in the dark corner. When she remembered everything that happened to her after she ingested the aphrodisiac, she became hysterical due to a mixture of extreme anger, pain, humiliation, and disgust! After that, she became a blank sheet for a few days and could not remember what exactly happened after her hysteria. A few days later, she was extremely devastated when she woke up in her bedroom inside her maiden home instead of her husband's mansion! She asked them and with pity in their eyes, they gave her the same devastating answer... Prince Andrew divorced her!
