Delia wanted to snort and say, "Don't you mean that he shouldn't do it for his harlot concubine but for his bastard son?" But she didn't say what she had in mind. Instead, she kept quiet and watched calmly. Augustus shook his head. "No. What you're asking for is for me to become a villain to the boy. I don't want to do that because I don't want to partake in the evil you have committed." "Besides, I don't care much about him. If he wants to live on his own and you can't stop him, then let him leave on his own. If you truly care about him, you will continue to stop him." She asked with a frown, "Are you saying I should continue to maim our son? Because that's the only way to stop him from leaving." He shrugged. "I don't care. Maim him or not. That's up to you." Lady Vena became upset. She stood up with a huff and said, "Fine. Be useless to me. The one time I ask you for something, and you disappoint me completely. If something happens to him, I'll blame you." She said that and left in a huff, leaving the husband and wife behind. Lady Delia didn't say anything. She was deep in thought because she had a lot to digest mentally. She has just heard a lot of incredulous things that she finds very difficult to believe. It will take a lot of time before she can come to terms with an eleven-year-old boy at the seventh transformation of the first mortal coil and maybe take advantage of the situation. Augustus didn't look at her as he said, "I have some experience with scheming and cunning women, so I recognize the look of contemplation on a woman's face when she is coming up with a scheme." "If I am wrong and I've misjudged, then forgive me. Take it as I've said nothing. But if there is some truth to what I just said, let this be clear to you: no matter the bad blood between you and Vena, leave the children out of it." She won't stop. She is just going to be smart about it. Her plan is to act using someone else who would take the blame. It is preferably someone who Augustus won't be able to resist easily. And she won't go too far either to prevent a disastrous fallout. So after he left, she continued scheming. Many figures possessing authority in the family flashed through her mind as she put her plan together. She said to herself, "This might even make me look good too." Soon her plan came together. She liked it so much that she smiled. Then she put it into action immediately. She called out to the maids, "Start the preparation for a party. It is not every day that a boy has his blood flowing rites of passage. It should be celebrated in a grand manner." The maids and servants began to prepare for the party. It is a party for Arthur, and it will be grand. She didn't lie about that. She will be inviting a lot of people in the family to the party and bringing in a lot of performers. A lot of food will also be prepared. The party will be truly grand. Of course, the party is just a means to an end. She is not spending so much money because she cares about her bastard stepson. But she wants an opportunity to ensnare Vena and her son, so she is helping Arthur throw a party. To make sure that her plan will be able to take off, she began preparing the invitations immediately and began sending them out as soon as an hour after. Despite her rush, Augustus still managed to get wind of the party before the invitations could be sent out. This was because the mansion, most of the servants, and the guards belonged to him. So very little that happens in the mansion can escape his attention. Especially not immediately after he explicitly warned the head of the guards to monitor Delia closely.
