Inside one of the main bedrooms of the Rivas family mansion, Irene sat on her cultivation mattress, meditating. A frown was visible on her face, and sweat dripped from her brow as she struggled to concentrate. An hour ago, she had suddenly received a letter from an unknown sender, and ever since reading its contents, she had been unable to stop thinking about it.
The letter stated that something significant would happen and that she needed to be strong, as it was related to her retainer within the mansion. Irene wanted to understand what was going on but didn't know who to ask. Her thoughts turned to her retainer, Cecile, since the letter specifically mentioned her. She wished to speak with Cecile but felt she might refuse to talk about it. Their relationship had grown distant a few days before Irene was trapped in the Everlasting Silent Forest over a decade ago.
