The party

After a few days...

Seraphina began to fix her stare at the letter that was in her hand. The invitation, which had been stamped with the seal of Count Alaric, had ultimately indicated the meaning of acceptance.

"Finally, it's today."

She had already expected it. Arjan, who was forced to leave the duchy as if she was just being kicked out by Seraphina, couldn't have stayed still at all.

The tension between them was palpable, a lingering shadow over the day's events.

Even so, the proposal that was delivered by her father had never been brought up by Raven himself. It was a testament to the underlying conflicts that still simmered between them.She would just be gritting her teeth desperately. Arjan had this morbid personality where she would want to pay it back once she was defeated by others.
