Sein and I bid farewells after he'd taken be back to my room. He had little time for a break from the week's worth of work he had to catch up to. He could not attend the evening ball—which was all the more reason for me not to go. He did promise that we'd see each tomorrow night, during the Great Ritual. His little brother, whom I still have to lay my eyes upon, would partake in the said feat. Sein said that he'd watch fand cheer the both of us from the sides.
Luckily, my personal knights resumed to their posts from being called by my father a minute after I returned to my room. I was glad to know I didn't have to deal with them.
However, my relief was short-lived as both knights brought news that made my shoulders fall to the floor. Anette appeared a moment later to prepare me to meet my father. They urged me to make haste and I had no other choice but to oblige.
