*Excitedly* Lady Lior invited me?!
Rhaelis Veylthorne (Duke)
Yes, this afternoon
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*Eyes sparkle with joy*
Seraphina Duskbane (duke's mistress)
*enters the office*
Seraphina Duskbane (duke's mistress)
*Clinging to Rhaetic* Rhaee~ Can I go too?
Rhaelis Veylthorne (Duke)
*Calmly* I don’t think so
Seraphina Duskbane (duke's mistress)
*Pouting playfully* Why not?!
Rhaelis Veylthorne (Duke)
The invitation was meant for her
Seraphina Duskbane (duke's mistress)
*Acting cute* But Seraphin wants to go toooo!
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*Silently watches the exchange, feeling numb*
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
(Maybe I’ve seen this too many times... I don’t even feel anger or jealousy anymore...)
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*Without a word,walks out of the office*
[At Lady Lior’s Estate – The Garden Tea Party]
The atmosphere is warm and elegant, with noble ladies admiring the blooming flowers.
Noble lady
*Smiling* Lady Lior, your garden is so beautiful!
Liora Stormspire (Duke daughter)
*Calmly smiling* Thank you
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*stands nearby, feeling a bit awkward but managing a polite smile*
Liora Stormspire (Duke daughter)
*notices her and approaches warmly*
Liora Stormspire (Duke daughter)
Miss Celestia, I’m so glad you could come today!
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*Hesitant but polite* Thank you for inviting me, Lady Lior
The other ladies turn their attention toward Celestia, curiosity gleaming in their eyes.
Noble lady
*Curiously* Miss Celestia, is it true you’re married to Duke Rhaetic?
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*Smiling gently* Yes, though you may not have heard because we married in the countryside
"I’ve heard the countryside sea is breathtakingly beautiful"
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*Brightening* Yes! Especially during summer — the sunsets are mesmerizing!
The noble ladies smile, seeming charmed by her sincerity.
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
(So... this is what it feels like to have friends...) *smile softens, almost nostalgic* (I’d nearly forgotten...)
Noble lady
See you soon, Lady Lior!
The gathering winds down as carriages arrive to take the guests home
Liora Stormspire (Duke daughter)
*turns to Celestia, expression soft and kind*
Liora Stormspire (Duke daughter)
Miss Celestia, thank you for coming today It meant a lot
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*Smiling warmly* It was my pleasure, Thank you for inviting me
[Back at the Duke’s Mansion]
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*enters the mansion,heart feeling lighter — until hears soft crying*
Seraphina Duskbane (duke's mistress)
*sobbing as Rhaetic gently comforts her*
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*stands frozen*
Rhaetic notices her, but before he can speak, the head maid steps in with a cold, accusing tone.
(head of maid)
*Sternly* Lady Seraphine has always been kind to you... how could you be so heartless to her?
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*Steady and calm* I don’t know what you’re talking about
(head of maid)
*Angrily* Lady Seraphine lent you a ring that the Duke gifted her... and we found it broken in your room!
The maids watch from a distance, whispering among themselves
Rhaelis Veylthorne (Duke)
*steps forward, eyes dark and cold, throws the broken ring onto the floor with fury*
Rhaelis Veylthorne (Duke)
*Icy voice filled with anger* Explain this!
