Priscilla wasn’t adept at comforting others and didn’t want to upset Adelaide by mentioning Sidney.

She casually remarked, “With the New Year upon us, who doesn’t miss their loved ones? Adelaide’s just feeling homesick.”

Hearing this, Cedric’s smile faded.

Adelaide lifted her spirits–she couldn’t afford to lose composure at the royal banquet.

She buried her sorrow deep within, as always, hiding it so well that no one could detect her pain.

She couldn’t let Priscilla’s attempts at comfort continue; they were like salt on a wound.

Her lighthearted tone successfully deceived Zelda and Cedric, and even Priscilla was convinced.

Though burdened by Sidney’s death, Priscilla couldn’t help but look forward to the royal court banquet. Such grand gatherings were always delightful.
