It was almost dusk, the sun setting with its bright rays bathing everything it touches with its final warmth before nightfall.
Yet the engagement party that was currently occurring in the Dencio Household commenced, for it was even more spectacular in the nighttime. The quiet and breezy darkness Enlighted with shimmering stars that twinkled in its blanket of darkness.
Clinking of wine glasses and mannerly chattering were to be heard from inside and outside of the grand household’s ballroom. Their Villa just equally as big as the Valencia household’s Villa but grander.
Crystal awed upon seeing the infrastructure, lights illuminated the venue in an alluring way that s

“W… What?” Dianne stuttered, her voice dripping with a sense of pure disbelief. Crystal crossed her arms, facing Dianne with a blank expression. Her expression showed the mist of carelessness as she did. “Yes, you may have the ability to marry him, to become his bride but let me ask you this, does he really love you or he just wants to use your political power? Don’t be stupid, he couldn’t even hold you close unlike how he held me.” Crystal taunted, leaning on the sink while giving out her statements. She was annoyed yes but what annoys her more is how Dianne dared to speak so rudely about her. Or rather, the true owner of the identity that she’s using. Dianne bi
“Dear sister, I didn’t expect that you’d be here.” Clarise’s voice could be heard as Crystal turned to look over at the two figures whom approached her with faces filled with glee. Crystal didn’t like how the two unwanted girls approached her as if they were close acquaintances, which they were not. All that Crystal wants was to keep away from the two since she was told to not cause trouble. Yet whenever the one of them is around, trouble will always be around the corner. But that isn’t the case, since the two of them have appeared together, at the same time and they seemed to know each other well. It’s another sign that not only trouble will stir, although she hasn’t encountered any trouble with Clarise since she hasn’t been close with the woman nor was
“Excuse me, make way. What’s happening here?” Christian spoke as he tried to squish his way through the crowd. After hearing the commotion, he has been trying to get to the center to see what exactly was going on. Crystal continued to stare longingly onto Antony’s soft eyes, the alluring irises prevented Crystal from acting like how she’d normally do. But upon hearing Christian’s voice, she immediately pushed Antony out of her personal space and fixed her poise properly. Antony doing the same. Antony cleared his throat before crossing his arms formally. “Well, your fiancé and a few friends of hers thought that it’d be fun to bother my female c
The engagement party soon ended earlier than expected, since the scandalous scene earlier left everyone in uneasiness and yearned to leave. Some of the nobles even left before the toast even began, those nobles included both Clarise and Janice. Since they are currently being talked about and being there will be equivalent as to offer their heads ready for sacrifice. Antony was busy talking about business with other young nobles that he hasn’t noticed how Crystal began to wander off on her own. She was admiring the place regardless, since being in beautiful ballrooms was something, she rarely experiences. Hoping that one day she would dance at a beautiful ballroom with the man that can capture his heart, the man that will promise her
That night, Antony finally found where Crystal has gone to. But the Madam of the household insisted that Crystal, rather, Carmilla should stay the night. Since the family was close to Carmilla and they longed for her company. Antony cleared his throat. “But Madam, I hope you could understand that Carmilla is under the care of the Valencia Household as per the permission we have from her mother. I cannot simply allow her to stay in areas that her mother doesn’t know about—let alone with the Young Master Christian’s fiancé who has assaulted Carmilla, twice.” He tried to reason; his firm hold on Crystal’s shoulders were signifying protection. Crystal felt that sizzling fe
It took a while but Crystal finally managed to get the maid to leave. Using the reason that Crystal, or Carmilla rather, was fonder of being left alone than having a snoopy maid to be by her side 24/7. Thus, the maid left to her own sleeping quarters, to be called only when needed and summoned. On that hand, Crystal grabbed a towel and headed to the bathroom for a nice bath, the stench of trouble and sweat adorned her old clothes that she would want to change sooner or later. The closet was also adorned by a handful of clothes to choose from, which she figures was what the real Carmilla used to wear. Her style isn’t bad, just a little childish but bearable in her
Cristopher clicked his tongue in annoyance as the woman he spoke to abruptly hung up, ending the call. He deliberately threw his phone across the room, shattering its glass in the process but he didn’t care. His anger overflowed his thoughts that he was unable to focus on where or what his tasks was in the first place. A slight whimper brought him out of his anger-filled thoughts as he gazed over at the woman who cowered on her seat, seemingly to be frightened from when Cristopher threw his phone. A sigh left his pale lips, he has forgotten that the woman was here with him, and that he was still speaking to the real Carmilla before Crystal’s call abruptly disturbed their emotional entanglement. But that’s not his concern
After Cristopher told his side of the story, Carmilla was left in shock. It was only until now that she understood what has happened, she understood what got him so furious. There are things that she had not understood before, she was guilty back then, for the knowledge she possesses were a mix of a few truths and a series of lies. Something that she was too ignorant to see, she was too ignorant to know. Silence was once again bestowed upon the two figures in the dimly lit room as Cristopher still had that memory freshly engraved in his head, something that he longed to forget but simply could not. Carmilla slightly cleare
