Chapter 582
Meanwhile, Brendon and Yolanda had stepped down from the stage. They made their way toward Tiana’s three protégés, but before they could get close, the protégés’ bodyguards stepped in and blocked the way. The rejection was swift—and embarrassing.
This was Brendon and Yolanda’s engagement party, yet they were required to secure the guests’ approval before getting close to them. The logic was baffling!
Still, despite Brendon’s internal annoyance, he refrained from betraying the slightest indication of his irritation. He had to preserve every pathway that might propel his ambitions forward.
Brendon lingered nearby, donning a courteous grin. With a frosty expression, the Prince motioned to the guards to move aside, granting Brendon passage.
“Are the three of you finding this gathering uneventful?” Brendon inquired with a sycophantic grin.
“There’s not much excitement,” Perla responded.
Brendon’s gaze flicked about nervously before blurting out, “Do you know whether your mentor intends to appear?”
“Tiana informed us she’ll arrive after our performance,” Ashton responded while glancing around, uncertain if their mentor had shown up.
“Performance?” Brendon lit up, his voice quickening. “When will you start your performance?”
He hadn’t anticipated a performance from them. It would certainly elevate the evening’s prestige. Knowing that such an occurrence was something others envied, he felt a surge of satisfaction, his posture straightening with pride.
“We’ll be on stage shortly,” Perla said, her voice steady.
Glancing at the Prince, Yolanda quietly asked, “Will His Royal Highness perform as well?”
“Yes,” Perla answered.

Brendon beamed, his expression wide. “Fantastic! I’ll arrange the instrument and let everyone know.”
With their consent obtained, Brendon rushed off with Yolanda to make arrangements, as though concerned the trio might change their stance. This was a rare moment—many had tried unsuccessfully to bring in one of Tiana’s protégés, not to mention that one among them was royalty from Eighshire.
As Brendon and Yolanda exited, the Prince’s brow furrowed. In a low voice, he asked, “What connection do Tiana and these guys share? Why would she come to their engagement event? I didn’t notice anything particularly admirable in them…”
Tiana had remained out of the spotlight for ages, and no one even knew what she truly looked like. Why would she pick this ceremony to reveal herself?” Ashton and Perla traded looks, both slowly shaking their heads, puzzled by the situation. They, too, were in the dark regarding their mentor’s intentions.
“If she’s taking this step, then there’s a purpose. We just need to follow her lead,” Ashton murmured.
Perla nodded. “Exactly. Once our performance concludes, we’ll finally glimpse her face. I’m eagerly awaiting it…”
“Same here. But having to share this milestone in such distasteful people’s presence makes me uneasy,” the Prince muttered.
“Everyone, please settle down so I can say something.” Brendon stood atop the platform, a gleaming expression of delight stamped on his features. He radiated satisfaction, perfectly embodying the idea that joyous occasions revealed the most charming side of people.
