Ada arrived in Elmsworth on schedule, causing quite a stir in the local and international scene.

On the day of the banquet, Glynnis had her eye on a fancy purple haute couture dress early on. She took great care with her hair, looking as stunning as always.

Now, instead of controlling Thaddeus, she was being bitten by the pawn she herself raised!

Acacia had realized the convenience of reaping benefits from Elspeth, and had called to ask for money the day before yesterday. Elspeth was infuriated to the point of wanting to kill her.

But killing her was out of the question. Unless she was driven to the wall, she wouldn’t stoop to such measures.
