Seraphine watched her brother and his teammates discuss the matters while she ate the snacks. The situation wasn't boring for she more or less understood what they were going on about.
Everything sounded intriguing to her, and she wanted to learn more of the case.
Handed by Ashton, Seraphine had collection of all the cases her brother solved previously written as report, and interested, she went through them.
After reading them, her respect for her brother only increased.
She really wanted to be someone like Clayton.
In the middle of their talks, Ashton turned to face her and voiced out, "Little Lady, I have heard about how capable you are. Do you want to join us on this?"
His suggestion sounded tempting to Seraphine, but Clayton was quick to turn him down.
"No way in hell! She would only be bothersome!"
Her bro
When the light reaching through the window bothered her, Seraphine let out a groan, and turning towards the other direction, she was desperate to go back to sleep.But before she could sink into that darkness, she recalled something and immediately jolted up. It came to her attention she had to go to her brother's office early in the morning.Seraphine wiped off the drool from the corner of her mouth and knew she was going to be late. Knowing there was no time for her to waste, Seraphine instantly closed the book in front of her hurriedly."Oh my god! Seraphine, you have to hurry up! Ah! Quickly! Quickly!"That's how, Seraphine started a hectic morning. Due to her being in a rush, she stubbed her toe against various surfaces couple of times and did not even have the luxury of crying out in pain.Because of how quick she was, she was able to take a short shower and get dressed in
The impact from transporting caused Seraphine to feel dizzy for a second, and blinking her eyes a couple of times, she took a step backward, only for her to collide against a hard surface.Shocked, Seraphine began to observe her surroundings and realized her hand was still being held by Kayden."Are you alright?" Kayden questioned.From what she had noticed, the two of them were in a cage, and Seraphine would be foolish if she didn't realize they had been caught in a trap.Seraphine knew she had no one but herself to blame for being this gullible. Just because they were on the crowded street didn't mean she had to lower her guard."Yeah," Seraphine expressed, "I am sorry. Because of me, this happened."A groan escaped from her mouth.Due to dim lighting, she was barely able to make out her surroundings. Locked in a cage did feel like a no
After searching around, Seraphine finally found her brother on the grounds and immediately rushed towards him. Her brother's teammates along with Noah was there, seeming to discuss solemn matters.As Seraphine called for her brother, she was met with astonished reactions from others and rushed to clutch on to her brother's hand."Seraphine?" her brother asked in disbelief."Well, yeah, it's me. Don't worry. I am safe along with rest who were kidnapped. I don't know where they are, but it's most likely they have been returned to their home or similar places.Anyway, I know you are confused; I am too. That, this person came, and we all fainted. When I opened my eyes the next second, I was in my room."Seraphine knew her words sounded unbelievable, but unable to disclose the truth, she left her statement as the other victims. After all, all of them fainted before they
"Are you avoiding me, Seraphine?"Seraphine was left dumbfounded when she was asked that by Winter directly.Truthfully, in the last two months, she attempted her best to not interact with Winter not more than necessary. Finding suitable excuses, she turned down every one of Winter's invitations for hanging out.Since the two of them were still teammates, Seraphine didn't wish to break down everything and have a heart to heart talk. Her grades for fencing did hold a huge weight in her heart, and she knew changing teammates wasn't possible for the first year.This was why, Seraphine wanted this year to be over soon as possible and get some reliable ones next year.Although Seraphine did not understand why Winter bore this hostility towards her, she still hoped Winter would get the clue and separate herself from Seraphine.Seraphine was satisfied
Scarlett Opriyen was the daughter of Viscount Opriyen and around the age of seventeen. She was in the same year as Clayton.Scarlett wasn't an important character in the novel and only once her talent for jewellery designing was mentioned in the novel.There were huge debts on her family, and acquired from her mother, she had a talent in this field. Later, she used this skill of hers in order to make a living and support her family.Seraphine of course couldn't judge her skills currently, and it wasn't even praised that many times in the novel. Seraphine specifically recalled Scarlett becoming a renowned jeweller.This was all.The reason Scarlett was mentioned in the novel in the first place was due to her crush on Clayton. After Clayton saving her from a dangerous incident, Scarlett bore feelings for Clayton.Once Scarlett was self-sufficient, s
Unfortunately, for Seraphine, her wish of standing by the wall and spending time on her own couldn't be fulfilled. Throughout the entire time, she has people coming over to talk to her.It didn't take long for Seraphine to get separated from Kayden and mingle with the ladies. At least none of the ladies took initiative to be rude to her.Even though their conversation was something Seraphine had hard time keeping up with, she was still able to somehow maintain the pace, and although public opinion didn't matter to her, she didn't want to come off as ignorant.Talking with these ladies, Seraphine attempted her best to pay concentration and learn of recent trends in the capital. The target of shops were these young ladies, and Seraphine considered this to be a consumer survey.What Seraphine appreciated was, instead of mocking her, they explained what she wanted to learn. As for using this matter to la
Seraphine instantly placed the book on the table beside her and then proceeded to clutching the hand of the girl in front of her. Her enthusiasm was present in her eyes."You are Scarlett Opriyen, right?" Seraphine questioned.Her excitement caught Opriyen off guard, and seeing her widened eyes, Seraphine understood she was being too straightforward. Clearing her throat, Seraphine released the girl's hand, knowing her act was inappropriate."Yes, I am." Scarlett looked at Seraphine cautiously.From the novel, Seraphine knew Scarlett had a closed off and awkward personality, and this was why she came off as cold to many.Probably because of the burdens she had to carry from young age, Scarlett came off as reticent and intimidating to many."Lady Scarlett, I apologize for coming off as rude, but I have been wanting to meet you for so long," Seraph
"How did everything go, Lady Seraphine?" Betty questioned once Seraphine had stepped into her room."Well, even though I was rude, Lady Scarlett did not seem to hate me. She was shy and appeared to be intimidated by me the whole time. Do I come off as too strong?" Seraphine expressed, sitting in front of the mirror.Betty began to undo her hair and stated, "Well, Lady Seraphine, you can be quite forceful when you are persistent. Given that Lady Scarlett doesn't know you and your status, it's understandable if she was daunted.""Should I have taken a softer approach? That won't be possible though; it would take too much time," Seraphine vocalised."Isn't it fine as long as the Lady doesn't mind it?" Betty pointed out."Is that so? I still feel bad. How about I send some gifts to Viscount Opriyen's house as present?" Seraphine suggested."Indeed, that would be
