On a certain clear night at the Neville territory, the main residence of the ducal family was bubbling with activity, instead of the usual tranquility from the day-to-day affairs, a considerable number of carriages and people walked into the residence's main areas, with a focus in question to the dancing hall and in the wide back garden which was filled with tables and seats.

It was an event, after all, it was the date that the daughter and heir of the Neville Family, Lysette Neville would be turning 15, the age usually considered when someone finally becomes an adult.

Different from another relatively recent birthday event, that of the crown prince, Lysette could be seen greeting each arriving guest at the dancing hall, as they showed their business smiles at each guest, while gathering everyone's attention, after all, Lysette's dress, an elegant mix of red and black with many finely worked decorations, but just enough to not look excessive, which complemented her natural beauty and golden hair, in a way that could only be called... Breathtaking.

With a perfect appearance and etiquette befitting of someone of her class, everyone else in the dancing hall couldn't help but constantly glance at Lysette whenever they had a chance.

"Ara, It is my utmost pleasure to be receiving you two today, Lady Isabelle, and Sir Isak"

"The pleasure is ours, Lady Lysette"

"As Lady Isabelle said, it is our pleasure to be here, Lady Lysette"

"You can be a little less formal when referring to my Isak"

"I am sorry, but I still cannot feel comfortable while surrounded by nobles with positions higher than mine..."

"Goodness grief"

"Fufu, I am glad to see you two getting along well, when I heard the news that Sir Moray tried to object to your engagement, I was afraid something bad would happen"

"Do not worry, Lady Lysette. Isak was able to convince my father by knocking him out cold with a single punch"

"..."

Hearing that new information, Lysette couldn't help but look at Isak in silence, as he looked away while cold sweating.

"... ... ... I hope, your father is alright, Lady Isabelle"

"And I hope he becomes less annoying about my family's traditions"

"..."

"... I shall take my leave now, Lady Lysette. Follow me, Isak"

Isabelle noticed Lysette's smiling face with closed eyes, as a warning about her rather lax conduct. Quickly made a tactical retreat away from Lysette, while allowing for the next guest to greet Lysette.

"Good night, Lady Jade, Sir Aron. I am glad you two were able to come today"

"I am the one who is glad to be invited, Lady Lysette. And so is Sir Aron, is that not right, Dear?"

"... *Breaths in deeply*"

"... is something wrong with Sir Aron, Lady Jade?"

"No, there is not anything wrong, Lady Lysette. This is just Sir Aron being shy"

"... *Breaths in deeper and harder*"

"... Erm, are you sure about that, Lady Jade"

"Yes, I am. Also, I need to you, but Sir Aron last week kept on chasing a-"

Then before Jade could finish what she was saying, a hand was placed on top of her right shoulder, which belonged to none other than Aron.

"Oi!... You told me you wouldn't tell her about that!"
