Chapter 415
"Good men and women..." — A serious young man, now one of the Dukes in the Empire, told tranquil to the novel crowd before him.
"Oh... so the Ball will officially begin now. I was thinking it is about time."
"!? Mother!" — The mutters of the Sylfinnier’s current Duchess were heard even if supposedly discreet, causing a nervous jolt in the young one truly concerned about giving others a good impression.
Norma Noverrne nonetheless to the sourness implied in Elenaide’s words posed indifferent to the comment. Paying attention to her admirable offspring who as he continued to speak, met the eyes of his Mother from the distance.
"Having you all under our roof is proof of the esteem we have for each other. Today, the celebration commemorated by the Noverrne’s Duchy is no less than this server’s ascension to the head of its honour... Those who had carried our name with property and grace are nonetheless here in our presence, accompanying their brood who is to follow their path, as well as those we are to serve for the blood of our First Emperor, that admired one we vowed to follow, flows in their vessels..."
A nod of satisfaction was given to her son the more Norma listened to a brief yet polished speech. And so, it was then that Clemente’s eyes drifted to meet some others.
The eyes of a proud father warmed up a strict young one’s heart further into excitement, being calmed down by the composure those to inherit the throne easily invoked in those who met their violet hues... However, the eyes of one who shared the soul of an ignorant outsider were also met in the end.
"..."
A pause of complex blank thoughts was taken by the young Clemente... for the anthracite hues he met were ones that were witnessing for the first time an admirable Title ascension, one aside her own, and were aware that no easy feat was behind such achievement.
In her pure essence, the awe was apparent in her whole silent being while innocent thoughts of support crossed her mind with palpable anticipation of what was to be told next... while the intoxication of the juices she held tightly enhanced the joy in her mood.
