Chapter 263: Gilded rose club
The carriage came to a stop. Rebecca adjusted her gloves before turning to her daughter. "Now, remember to smile, Abrielle. These ladies may be vipers, but they respect strength. And as a Nightshade, you will not be looked down upon"
Abrielle took a deep breath, pushed aside her thoughts, and stepped out of the carriage. Her tasks can come later but For now, she had noblewomen to charm.
Under the lead of Rebecca, Abrielle entered the Gilded Rose Club. Every high society lady who was someone worth knowing was here.
The building was a two-story high-end restaurant. Fantasy signage with the club name written on it. This was a more relaxed side of the mainland. Although it wasn’t on the island where very high nobles resided, Falcon Street was still considered an expensive neighbourhood.
On walking through large wooden doors Abrielle and Co passed a short passage before they arrived at the glass doors. Servants stood at the entrance to welcome members.
"Please do you have an entrance Card?" The guard asked a noblewoman dressed in expensive clothes. It was a face Abrielle recognized.
"Sorry, I am Duchess Fiona Danbury; I don’t have a card yet, but I was invited by the Duchess Ivana Darkhaven, the founder," Fiona explained that she was the lovely duchess who had invited Abrielle to the winter haunt she was hosting with her husband.
Abrielle was pretty surprised to see the familiar face, but it was expected as a high-ranking noble for Fiona to be invited to the club meeting.
"You don’t have to remind me that the founder is Duchess Ivana. Sorry, I can’t let you in without a card." The guard insisted. It was getting to a sticky situation and would be rather embarrassing if a duchess was denied entry to the club.
