The next day......
Preparations were in full scale, invitations were sent to all high-ranking families, leaving everyone in shock.
Lilac, however, who was the center of all the attention, was lazying about in the in the garden sunbathing while watching the singing birds flying about happily thinking about how amazing it would be if all the people in the world disappeared , When she was suddenly interrupted by a maid sent by the Duchess to inform her of a guest who arrived, and is looking for her. " A guest for me." Lilac smiled lazily, sitting up and looking the maid straight in the eye .The maid looked down, trembling with fear .She had heard things about this newfound first miss and her eccentric personality just the thought of offending such an unpredictable person sent shivers down her spine
" Hey, why so absent-minded , tell the duchess that I am on my way , ok?" she slowly returned back to lying on the chaise lounge ,whistling happily. " The maid looked up stunned by her nonchalance before picking herself up and hurriedly scrambling out .
" Dorian," Lilac called out softly, a swift shadow quickly came out of the dark corners kneeling solemnly.
" My Lord," he said, " any news about this esteemed guest," she continued lazily munching on a grape
" My Lord, it's the count of fianne," Dorian replied, looking at Lilac worriedly .
" hmmmn," Lilac deeply hummed, a slight smile hanging at the corner of her lips ." Well then, let's be on our way. We must entertain such a welcomed guest who travelled such a long distance, " she said, moving nonchalantly to her room to get prepared .
The count of fianne is Lilacs uncle and an adviser to the Emperor, but when Lilacs mother died and she was forced to the countryside to die he didn't show up, but now he pops up from nowhere hoping to play pretend family ' hell nah'
' I wonder what he wants,' Dorian thought to himself.
