Lemira couldn't believe she was welcomed by this way.

She remembered, in her past life, after the exams, Lucian and Alaric had come too, but in the end, the spotlight had been all on Evelina. She was always the one left in the shadows.

"Better too much than too little, unlike someone with no good and sincere intentions, thinking a simple bouquet of flowers suffices."
