Feeling Lonely In A Sea Of People

Her Grandpa wasn't supposed you attend. Even this morning, he said he was not going to attend due to his health and other reasons. His health was pretty fine the past few days and Talia guessed it should be the 'other' reasons.

The Spring Ball of Rosandale is an annual event and the only invitees are the nobles and select citizens of Rosandale. Surely a Duke of Esteria cannot attend and her grandpa who is a traditionalist won't barge in breaking traditions, even if he was invited. It is for the same reason, Talia didn't ask to invite Arthur and she asked Arthur if he was invited, out of curiosity. True, she wanted Arthur to be invited since he'd be her life partner, but she didn't think too much when he assured her that he was not invited.

The Duke of Oakley!!!
