At the mention of Sylvette's name, the Duchess arched an elegant eyebrow, her gaze growing cold remembering the rude woman. "Sylvette, hmm?" she mused, her tone tinged with icicles, not hiding her displeasure. "Well, regardless of the competition, it's always good to maintain your composure. Just remember to stay focused on your goals, my dear. And do not lower yourself to likes of her even if something unexpected happens."
Andromeda's smile widened, a flicker of anticipation dancing in her hazel eyes. "Of course, Mother," she affirmed, her voice as steady as a mountain stream. "I won't let anything distract me from showcasing what I've learned. But seeing Miss Sylvette again will be... interesting, to say the least. I hope she is ready to face the consequences."
