Chapter 497: Chapter53-Duke Alice!

"Alan?!"

Everyone in the banquet hall gaped, their faces full of shock as they stared at Alan.

Duke Alice actually knew Alan!

And she even addressed him with respect, calling him "Young Master"!

One must understand that Duke Alice possessed exceptional talent, an unmatched background, and was held in the highest regard. She was also extremely proud.

There were very few people she would address so respectfully!

In an instant, countless eyes turned toward Alan, filled with a mixture of emotions—shock and curiosity most of all.

Just who was this Alan?!

Even Audrey, who was proud to her core, looked at Alice in disbelief.

As the only female duke of the Plantagenet Kingdom, Alice was a household name. Countless people sought to forge a connection with her at any cost.

Yet, those who truly earned her attention were almost nonexistent. Among her peers, such cases were even rarer!

If he could earn Duke Alice's favor, his standing—both within his family and among the Second Prince's advisors—would skyrocket!

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone else turned to look at Alice.

Alice turned to Alan.

Alan remained silent, not bothering to explain.

Isabella, worried that Alice might be swayed, spoke up anxiously:
