Compared to the New Year, the birthday of the contemporary Grand Duke may hold more commemorative value.
After Dmitry and Maria entered the house and saw that there was no one in the living room, they directly headed upstairs—this was the room that originally belonged to Grand Duke Ivan, which had now become Annan's room.
The moment they entered the room, Dmitry felt momentarily disoriented.
For the decoration of the room had changed slightly... The two paintings that used to hang above the double bed were gone. Instead, a portrait of Ivan had been placed at the end of the bed.
There were still no jewelry adornments in the room, but a few paintings by the Paper Princess remained hanging in their original spots. There were documents still laid out on the desk, along with a few books on mystical studies.
