Argider had finally decided to do the impossible: connect with her thirteen wives, one by one.
The challenge?
They were all unique, distinct, and, frankly, impossible to juggle.
She started with Lady Seraphina Eldwyne, who was still licking her wounds from a shattered noble family.
Seraphina had all the grace of a queen, but underneath that perfect facade, she was a nervous wreck.
Argider, with her usual playfulness, decided to launch into a ridiculous discussion about fashion. Of course, Seraphina, a noblewoman who probably could recite an entire history of gowns, was thoroughly unimpressed.
Still, Seraphina smiled. "I appreciate your... enthusiasm," she muttered.
"Ouch?"
Next up was Amara Voss, a business-savvy merchant's daughter from the Midward District. She met the Emperor during a grand ball and was charmed into a brief affair.
