In the evening, the castle prepared a grand feast in celebration for the Diana's visit and everyone gathered in her honor... except for Christopher and his allies. It all the more angered Diana, for the son of Theo refused to grace the celebration of his presence.
She had put on an elegant dress, let down her golden hair, making her look even more lovely. Yet, her charm would not be appreciated by the man she came to Aeros for. Christopher was nowhere to be found.
As she took the seat next to the ruler of Aeros, she asked, "Master Theo, where is Chris? How is he supposed to turn my way, if he isn't even here?"
Theo sighed and answered, "I'm sorry, Diana. Rest assured this... attraction he has with that woman... it is only temporary. I am also trying to find out more about the woman. Perhaps, I can sway her to leave my son."
"Oh, how unfortunate," said Diana. While she pretended to be calm, her insides were screaming in frustration.
