(Neutral POV)
Before Kaine's arrival, the Silvermoon family had hosted a banquet to celebrate their daughter's engagement to a noble from an acquaintance's family.
They had invited the most important people around them to this event, with Mina being the main attraction as she was the one getting engaged.
Beside her sat her new fiance, his name was Cedric and he looked ecstatic at the idea of marrying such a beauty.
"I'm so lucky to have met you" he whispered to her.
"..." she didn't answer, she was looking down and didn't seem to be listening, but he didn't care, after all she would be his soon enough, even if these weren't her real feelings.
In opposition, Julius, the head of the family, was enthusiastically speaking to the others guests, he seemed extremely satisfied by the sudden turn of events.
"I'm glad that you accepted to come here today" he said to a man who was sitting beside him.
