A few days had passed since the engagement day between Elizabeth and me. The day had been a whirlwind of events, marked by introductions to nearly everyone, except for the two notoriously unpredictable individuals, Alvaro and Cyril.
The day had begun on a promising note with pleasant discussions and greetings alongside Elizabeth. However, my mood took a drastic turn when Earth Tepes, whom I knew as Jayce, made his appearance. Living on the same island as him without the ability to exact my revenge was a bitter pill to swallow. It would have been easier if I weren't an Olphean, but my status came with responsibilities. Should I act on my impulses, Christina would bear the brunt of the consequences, and I'd inevitably antagonize Duncan Tepes, a demigod.
In the end, on Cleenah's advice, I decided to bide my time and remain composed. An opportunity for retribution would eventually present itself, and for now, there were more pressing matters at hand.
