Chapter 26: It’s Not So Easy
[ Academy Classmate ].
After introducing herself, Lumia stood by the window of Ariel’s drawing room, looking outside.
Her hood had been removed, making her snow-white hair and gem-like blue eyes visible.
After all, in a few days, she was scheduled to reveal her real face to their official audience. By the end of the Betrothal Contest, she would take the winner’s hand and walk through the city of Winterfell, receiving the cheers of the Northerners.
Not as the red-haired Erenscia Velroc, but as Lumia Winterfell. On that day, she would proudly reveal herself to the world.
As such, when the guards beyond this room searched her, she didn’t object to it.
After all, for this night, she was just Erenscia, a poor noble girl from a borderland family.

Tomorrow, one last event will take place before the official audience.
Because of this, Lumia made arrangements to guarantee Elden’s participation.
While Gelwood would handle him, Lumia herself would make the last touches of her plan by talking to Ariel.
