CHAPTER ONE ; 2/3

TRANSCRIPT

magdalena: The last point of interest I wished to discuss with you all is the Assembly. We have not hosted the gathering since you three were babes, so your father and I expect each of you to put your best foot forward.

luca: Yes, especially since we are relying on a few important trade deals this time around. No pretending to be a footman and hiding carriages. No avoiding interactions by saying that you feel faint. And no more than two glasses of mead.

m: I believe that is everything…. oh! We decided that the reception will be a masquerade ball, so you will need to acquire a mask within the week.

dara: …A masquerade?

l: We have not hosted a ball like that since your mother and I first met, you know.

d: Precisely, Papa. They are entirely outdated.

killian: I think it is a grand idea. Anonymity. For once, no one will be trying to kiss my feet. Thank the maker.

m: Only for a short while. We will need to welcome the guests as a family, of course. You will have an hour to mingle before then.

l: Use it wisely.

gregor: [sighs] If I am only allowed two glasses of mead, then that is when I will be indulging myself.
