Cherry Nalat lay on her bed , trying to focus on some incantations written down on the pages of her grimoire . Her mind and thoughts were , however , far away from from those notes . The only thing she could think of ever since returning to the Nalat Estate were the ramifications her rash decisions at the capital , Maven City , would cause. Her twin Olive had repeatedly warned her about doing the spell that would reincarnate Lan Montreal , but Cherry like always had brushed her off . Now because of that , down at the living room her mother and sister were having it rough explaining to two pissed off Marjories how their one and only daughter had been used as a ritualistic sacrifice . If she were an outsider , Cherry too would have had a very difficult moment in trying to buy that story .
