Kelly Kingston stood confidently on the table, her piercing gaze fixed on Sophla

Vancouver's history.

At just 17 years old, she graduated from the most prestigious university in the city and caught the attention of Alfred Kingston.

Kelly turned to Lyra, her gaze sharp and unwavering. "I heard what you said. If we're talking about queues, I believe I'm first in line before anyone here."
