TITLE: Wings of Broken Time by Alina Das<\/p>\n
As Neville stepped forward, he found himself standing behind the bickering duo, his voice emerging with a calm authority that belied the tension in the air. \u201cPaxton,\u201d he began, his tone measured yet firm, \u201cyou yourself mentioned that she just arrived. Yes, you\u2019re her uncle, but how deeply do you truly understand her? And yet here you are, already flinging accusations about her manners?\u201d<\/p>\n
His gaze bore into Paxton with an intensity that left little room for argument. \u201cYou haven\u2019t devoted a single day to guiding her, so don\u2019t you dare cast judgment on her character.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vivica, her cheeks flushed with indignation, interjected sharply, \u201cThat\u2019s utterly unfair, Neville! It\u2019s precisely that kind of thinking that has turned her into someone so brazen and lacking in decorum. Look around\u2014the guests are all here, and she\u2019s nowhere to be found. It\u2019s simply intolerable.\u201d<\/p>\n
She had a clear understanding of why Larissa was late. It was likely that Sapphira had advised her to change her attire. But slipping into a custom gown wasn\u2019t a matter of mere minutes; it was a process, one that required finesse and patience.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet her squander her time,\u201d Vivica mused, a sly smirk creeping onto her lips. The longer she kept the elite families of Regal City waiting, the more their irritation would simmer. Kiernan would find himself embarrassed, and his displeasure with Larissa would only deepen. The alternative was for Larissa to rush in without a change, leading to a direct comparison with Honora. In that scenario, everyone would quickly discern who the true princess was and who merely resembled an ugly duckling. Either way, Larissa\u2019s grand entrance was already shaping up to be a debacle for the Judson family.<\/p>\n
Zoltan\u2019s expression remained stoic, yet he cast a significant glance at his grandson, silently urging him to consider the implications. Haskell, on the other hand, maintained a serene demeanor. He was well aware that something must have caused Larissa\u2019s delay; she wouldn\u2019t easily provide her adversaries with ammunition. Whatever the issue was, he had faith that she would navigate it with grace.<\/p>\n
\u201cUncle Paxton, Aunt Vivica,\u201d a clear, confident voice rang out from the entrance, slicing through the tension like a knife. \u201cI was held up for a moment, and here you are, already speaking ill of me in front of my fianc\u00e9\u2019s family and all these esteemed guests? That\u2019s hardly the epitome of class, is it?\u201d<\/p>\n
The voice dripped with playful amusement, as if she were teasing rather than reprimanding. \u201cYou both sound like a pair of gossiping busybodies. I\u2019m not sure your own sense of etiquette is something to boast about.\u201d<\/p>\n
At the sound of that unmistakable voice, Haskell motioned for Crispin to pivot his wheelchair toward the entrance. Almost instinctively, nearly every guest in the room turned to see who had arrived.<\/p>\n
To their collective astonishment, Larissa strode in, her arm elegantly linked with Kiernan\u2019s.<\/p>\n
A ripple of whispers surged through the ballroom, creating an undercurrent of shock and intrigue.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat on earth is happening? She\u2019s wearing the exact same dress as Honora!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI heard that gown is a unique creation from the master designer, Color. That means one of them must be wearing a knockoff.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh my god, to don a counterfeit at an event like this? Has she completely lost her mind?\u201d<\/p>\n
It was indeed true; Larissa had chosen a gown that mirrored Honora\u2019s almost perfectly.<\/p>\n
Neville\u2019s gaze shifted to Sapphira, who now stood resolutely beside Larissa. Their eyes met, and he noticed that the earlier panic etched on her face had been replaced by a serene composure.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened?\u201d Neville whispered, his brow furrowing with concern. \u201cWhy would Larissa wear that dress knowing it was a trap? She\u2019s walking straight into their scheme.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s alright,\u201d Sapphira replied softly, her voice steady and reassuring. \u201cJust trust Larissa and watch.\u201d<\/p>\n
Though he found himself perplexed, the unwavering confidence radiating from his wife provided him with a strange sense of comfort.<\/p>\n
Vivica, her pride wounded by Larissa\u2019s bold entrance, snapped back, \u201cWhat on earth could have possibly delayed you? We\u2019ve been running ourselves ragged organizing your party!\u201d<\/p>\n
As the tension in the ballroom reached a fever pitch, Larissa\u2019s entrance marked a pivotal moment not only for her but for the entire Judson family. The whispers of the guests swirled around her like a tempest, yet she stood tall, a defiant smile playing on her lips. In that instant, the doubts and criticisms that had plagued her began to dissipate, replaced by an undeniable sense of agency and self-worth. With Sapphira\u2019s unwavering support behind her, Larissa transformed from a mere pawn in her family\u2019s power struggles into a formidable player on her own terms. The echoes of her uncle and aunt\u2019s disparagement faded into the background, overshadowed by the realization that she was no longer defined by their expectations or their judgments.<\/p>\n
As the evening unfolded, it became clear that Larissa\u2019s choice to mirror Honora\u2019s gown was not a mere act of folly but a calculated statement of her own identity and resilience.
