First Time Meeting

The celebratory mood of Serah Crimson's birthday party was ruined by her very own hands—or rather, her careless words

Needless to say, what happened next wasn't too pleasant.

She was publicly chastised by her father, and she had to apologize to the young Leonard for her derogatory remarks towards him.

He was charming and gentle, accepting her apology with an understanding smile on his face.

That didn't make Serah feel any better though.

'Damnit!'

She had thought that she could get away with anything—that her level of importance would allow her to say whatever she wanted to anyone…

But she was wrong!

After being utterly humiliated by her father, Serah felt a burning sensation within her that would not die down no matter how hard she tried to ignore it.

The scowl on her face for the remainder of her time with her mother clearly showed her dissatisfaction.

Unfortunately for her, she couldn't speak out.
