She recognized that familiar voice!
Sheena’s eyes reddened almost instantly as she looked with delight toward the entrance.
Elliot was draped in a black coat, weathering the wind and snow, and managing a formidable aura as he walked in.
Following him was Lionel, who bore a similarly serious gaze.
Immediately after, two military units, dressed in different uniforms, marched in with precision, guns in hand, swiftly surrounding the entire cathedral.
The guests were startled, and the scene began to buzz with commotion.
Scowling at the man at the end of the red carpet, Nathaniel did not hide his hatred as he ground his teeth and said, “Elliot, you really know how to pick your timing, intentionally coming to disrupt us?”
Elliot’s aura was chilling to the bone, and he sneered, “Well, someone immorally abducted my fiancee to a foreign land for a forced marriage. Of course, I had to come and take back my woman!”
Nathaniel clenched his fists, and the hatred in his eyes surged like a storm.
The audience, mostly royals and nobles invited by Kelly, quickly understood what was happening.
The crowd whispered among themselves, casting looks between the two men.
Kelly was humiliated. She was about to help Nathaniel explain and salvage the situation when Elliot preemptively spoke.
“Ladies and gentlemen, my visit today is solely directed at the groom. Innocent bystanders will not be harmed. Lionel, clear the area!”
In less than five minutes, all the attendees were escorted out, even the priest on the podium.
The vast Florence Cathedral now housed only Elliot’s men, Nathaniel, Sheena, and Kelly.
The tension in the air was palpable.

Kelly’s complexion instantly soured, but her tone remained resolute, saying, “I’m merely acting in self–defense. If you dare harm Nathaniel, don’t blame my people for fighting back with all they’ve got!”
“Nathaniel’s fate is not for you to decide!” Elliot sneered, redirecting his gaze to Sheena on the priest’s podium.

Seeing him open his arms, Sheena forcibly pulled away from Nathaniel’s grip, lifted her ran toward him at the end of the red carpet.

Nathaniel, staring at his empty hand, was left in a daze.
Meanwhile, Kelly was seething. Her most beloved son was being openly robbed of his wedding day, and the bride was running to another man.
This was a blatant insult to her royal family’s dignity and her beloved Nathaniel!
She could not harm Elliot, but she could eliminate this woman who dared to be involved with two met at the same time!
Kelly immediately commanded the guards closest to her, directing them to target Sheena.
“Watch out!” Nathaniel was the first to notice, swiftly moving to shield Sheena.
By the time Kelly attempted to stop the guards, the trigger had already been pulled.
A deafening gunshot rang out.
Sheena had just reached the middle of the red carpet, and upon hearing the shot, she halted, turning back.
Nathaniel’s arm had been hit. He clutched the wound, blood seeping through his fingers.
Kelly rushed forward, inspecting his injury.
