The Ye family, who resided in Orgeyon, was unaware of the actions of Joseph and the Cataclysmic Front.
Zhongquan Ye was focused on the upcoming ancestral ceremony, which also held significant importance for him.
This ancestral ceremony was crucial as it was the first after the Ye family's ancestral tomb was moved to the Yeling Mountain, and it occurred only once every twelve years.
Moreover, this ceremony marked the engagement of his eldest grandson Morgan, the son of Marven's eldest uncle Andrew Ye, to a young princess from the Nordic royal family after the Qingming Festival.
The intermarriage with the Nordic royal family was a long-planned affair for the Ye family.
In large families, the eldest son or grandson is considered the most important figure, and Zhongquan wanted to secure a good daughter-in-law for Morgan who was a suitable match for his family.
However, there were only two girls from the country who could match Morgan's status.
One was Zhiyu, the only granddaughter of the Su family, and the other was Sara, the only daughter of the Gu family.
The daughters of other families were considered inferior to Morgan.
Morgan had no chance to connect with Zhiyu, who saw everything, while Sara was already promised to marry Marven.
A few days ago, Sara's concert had caused quite a stir, and Zhongquan also knew it was for Marven, making it impossible for Morgan to consider Sara.
Morgan, being two years older than Marven, was nearing thirty and, still unmarried, was starting to feel pressure from his family.
Zhongquan believed the most suitable candidate for Morgan was the princess of the Nordic royal family.
The princess's royal background was extremely rare, making her a prestigious match for Morgan. Additionally, the royal family had considerable assets, connections, and resources.
If the Ye family could secure the princess's hand in marriage, not only would their reputation increase, but they would also gain a greater foothold in the overseas market.
The marriage was more about the intermingling and exchange of resources and capital between the two families.
The royal family of Northern Europe sought to leverage the Ye family's financial power to gain a larger share, while the Ye family aimed to use the royal family's connections and influence to expand their presence in Europe.
The marriage would bring numerous benefits to both families.
The Nordic princess, being the best among European royal princesses in terms of age, looks, temperament, and education, was previously the Crown Princess and first in line to the throne.
However, she was later replaced by her cousin and became the second in line to the throne due to unknown reasons.
With her cousin's ascension, she was formally made the Crown Princess, effectively declaring her unfit for the throne and prompting her family to push her into marrying the Ye family.
Morgan was thrilled with this future wife, considering marrying a Nordic princess a rare and prestigious opportunity.
Zhongquan also longed for Morgan to be engaged as soon as possible, followed by a grand wedding ceremony.
The Nordic royal family was generous, knowing the Ye family would soon hold an ancestral ceremony, so they planned to make an exception and have the princess attend the ceremony a few days early, marking the beginning of her life as the future daughter-in-law of the Ye family.
After the ceremony, other members of the royal family would fly to Orgeyon to attend their engagement banquet, officially announcing their engagement to the public.
Zhongquan believed that once the news was announced, the Ye family's fame would reach new heights.
However, he was unaware that a complex web was unfolding, threatening the Ye family's fate.
