Unfolding before Seraphina's eyes, and deep within her heart, was an incredible scene almost indistinguishable from reality.
It was like the "crystal image" Ansel had once shown her, but what she saw now was far more real.
Seraphina clearly remembered the Count of Red Frost bringing her and Marlina to the grand hall, where scantily clad maids filled the room, and no outsiders were present.
Just over a month ago, she and Marlina had barely spent a few minutes here before someone hurried in, whispered something in that pig's ear, and his expression changed instantly, filled with fear and indecision as he looked at them.
Then, Seraphina and Marlina were taken away, lost consciousness, and woke up naked on Ansel's bed.
Now, the person who had interrupted the Count, the factor that changed everything, had not appeared.
The beautiful sisters with snow-white hair and delicate features stood helplessly in the grand hall.
