Chapter 0192 Known to the public simply as the Castle , it was a legendary estate larger and more opulent than any other property in the kingdom .
Its historical significance was unparalleled , rumored to have once been the Alpha Kings residence before the capital was relocated .
It had fallen into direpair over the years , but when Christopher became successful he started the process of restoring it to its former glory .
Every renovation , every adjustment , was a spectacle covered extensively by the media , with each change somehow making the Castle even more magnificent than before .
I turned to Alexander , my voice barely above a whisper .
You cant be serious .
Oh , hes very serious , Christopher said , clearly pleased with my reaction .
I stared at him , my thoughts a swirl of awe and disbelief .
The Castle wasnt just a venue it was a symbol of untouchable luxury and prestige .
And now , somehow , it was being offered to us .
Thats incredible , I said , still in disbelief .
Alexander was writing something on the sheet of paper he had pulled out .
I glanced toward him , trying to make it out , but his handwriting was too quick and precise to decipher .
Right , he said without looking up .
So , well be able to keep the original date we chose , and theres plenty of room to accommodate the entire guest list ? Correct , Christopher replied , though a faint shadow of concern crossed his face .
That said , I suppose we cant be entirely sure how many guests will attend , considering what Lake has done .
Alexanders expression tightened , but he didnt look up .
Well , I think this change of venue will be more than enticing for most of the people weve invited , he said , glancing briefly at Christopher .
After all , whens the last time you hosted a single guest at the Castle ? Christopher tilted his head thoughtfully .
I suppose it has been a few years , hasnt it ? He gave a small , self- assured smile .
What can I say? Most of my socializing is done here in the capital while Im on business .
And they call me a workaholic , Alexander quipped without missing a beat .
You are , Christopher retorted with a smirk .
I like to mix my business with pleasure .
As far as I know , you only care about one and not the other .

Alexander didnt bother replying , instead returning to his notebook with the same singular focus as before .
do you have any Well , Miss Rowan , Christopher said , his smile shifting back to me with effortless charm , questions about the venue ? Any special requests ? I hesitated , unsure how to respond .
Of course , I had questions I wanted to know everything about the Castle .
But I couldnt bring myself to gush ; I didnt want to risk embarrassing Alexander .
Shrugging slightly , I gave him an honest answer .
Nothing jumps to mind immediately , I admitted .
This is such an unexpected development ; Im not sure Ive fully processed it yet .
Understandable , Christopher said , his tone as warm as his smile .
Well , it may interest you to know that some of the set pieces and decor from the last film made at the Castle are still there .
We might be able to incorporate those into the wedding .
Film ? I asked , curiosity sparking as I tried to recall the last movie filmed at the Castle .
Then it hit me a 1/2 Chapter 0192 romantic comedy about a beautiful princess who fell in love with a servant .
It had been wildly popular , people talking about it for months after its release .
with Amanda , in particular , had loved that movie , constantly gushing about how she wished she could find a romance like that .
A smile spread across my face as the thought settled in .
I would absolutely love that, I said , already imagining the possibilities .
I could see it now the look on Amandas face when our wedding photos made it into the news , and she realized where they were taken .
It might be petty to feel a surge of satisfaction at the thought of making her jealous , but I didnt care .
Considering everything shed put me through , I felt no guilt .
After all , this was a small victory compared to what she truly deserved .
