One after another, exclamations filled the hall. Shock rippled through the crowd, too overwhelming to contain.

With Victoria’s brilliance shining ahead of her, everyone had assumed Sharon would be eclipsed, made into a laughingstock at tonight’s banquet.

And to those who knew Victoria, that was only natural. Wherever she appeared, she was
