As we saw in the previous chapter, there was an expensive dinner setting with major characters such as Lady Rappelt, Lady Dupret, and Miss Dorothea. But Lord Rappelt’s concern with eating humorously counterbalances the seriousness of the situation.
The interaction between Lady Dupret and Miss Dorothea, who discloses that she is more of an assistant than a family representative, steals the scene as the characters are chit-chatting.
Amid the lavishness, dinner conversations take a somber turn as questions about the Dupret family’s dependability and the confidentiality of important information are raised.
Miss Cecilia’s potential function as a “throwaway card” is ignited as suspicions about her grow. There are underlying tensions, especially between Lady Rappelt and Miss Dorothea. The seemingly unrelated character Asha gives the narrative a feeling of mystery.
Asha finds solace in the fine meal and a borrowed book amidst the underlying tension, providing a lighter note throughout the intricate political talks. As the meal plays out as a careful balancing act between comedy and suspicion, readers will be treated to a gripping blend of mystery and unexpected moments. Let’s see when chapter 20 of City of Arrogance is going to be released, the timings, and where to read it.
Recap
In Chapter 19 of “City of Arrogance,” we find a formal supper with notable guests such as Miss Dorothea, Lady Dupret, and Lady Rappelt. Despite the dire circumstances surrounding them, Lord Rappelt enjoys eating. Lady Rappelt welcomes Lady Dupret as dinner draws near, mentioning that it has been a while since they last saw one another.
Miss Dorothea Dupret clarifies that she is not there on behalf of the family; rather, she is there to help her busy father with some work. A discussion over top-secret material and Miss Dorothea’s access to it all breaks out. Cecilia, an additional Dupret family member, is seen to pose a risk. Ash shows up for dinner and shows enthusiasm in the food, despite his seeming disinterest in the political conversation.
This makes the situation seem happier and more lighthearted. But when Lady Dupret mentions her father’s military prowess and the title he was awarded the Margrave of Pervaz, things get serious. The story consequently becomes more intricate, particularly between Lady Dupret and Count Pervaz. Following that, Cecilia and Dorothea compete to become crown princesses.
Except for Count Pervaz, who appears unaware of it, every character appears to be aware of this tension. This prepares the protagonists for a struggle that is both personal and political. Lionel and Cecilia debate their roles as a married pair on paper as the chapter comes to a close. They talk about Fabien Ruskot’s portrait creation to solidify their arrangement.
Cecilia shows a more delicate side in Chapter 19 when she declines to be photographed. The chapter centers on an elegant supper that attracts notable guests. The interesting thing about Lord Rappelt is his love of eating. Asha injects some humor into the situation by enjoying the meal and a book she borrowed. While Miss Dorothea is there to support her father, there are rumors and classified material circulating about Cecilia.
When Lady Dupret talks about her father’s rank and military accomplishments, particularly with Count Pervaz, things get more problematic. A power struggle between Cecilia and Dorothea for the title of crown princess is also revealed in this chapter; Count Pervaz is the only one who is aware of it. Finally, at the end of the chapter, Lionel and Cecilia talk about their faux marriages.
Cecilia is not happy with the scheduled portrait that a well-known painter would do for them. The chapter is a sophisticated dinner conversation mixed with humor. The relationships between the people get increasingly nuanced, particularly when there are personal and political conflicts. As the competition for the title of crown princess heats up, Lionel and Cecilia’s fake marriage encounters additional difficulties.
We witness how the characters manage their responsibilities and relationships as the possibility of the marriage being dissolved adds even more drama to the narrative. “City of Arrogance” promises more turns and turns as the plot develops with its contrast between humorous moments and underlying tensions.
