The sun had started to dip to the edge of the west, painting the skies in beautiful red and orange shades. Emery stood in front of the massive gates leading to the Quintin Family Estate and peered inside from in-between the gaps.

He saw that a crowd had gathered, each carrying torches, while shouting in contempt. It appeared they did not come as guests.

Emery decided to use his [Hide in Shadows] spell and walked closer. He took each step carefully, ensuring the grass did not seem disturbed as he walked.

Luna Quintin, the beautiful woman with curly blonde hair, stood in front of the enraged crowd. Next to her, Kastan stood still, his stance vigilant and his face devoid of expression.

As usual, each word from the woman dripped charm and charisma. She commanded attention with her every gesture.

Beyond that superficial charm, however, Emery could see she had somehow fallen into a predicament.
