Chapter 10

That night, a full moon rose.

It was a beautiful night filled with music, dancing, smiles, and socializing for most people who attended the royal banquet. But that wasn’t the case for Evelyn who was trembling with her blood boiling from the sight.

It was because she saw Marquis Jervas Sigmund and Vestina.

A long time has passed since that day when she got beaten and abandoned in a valley., watching the red moon as death slowly approached.

Jervas has become a middle-aged man while Vestina gained weight which made her look plump. The moment she saw them, Evelyn unconsciously shuddered.

This evening, when Evelyn entered the Grand Hall with Rasmania, the people’s eyes were on her.

Evelyn straightened her back, slightly raised her chin, and smiled elegantly. She didn’t care about all those questioning eyes that were on her.

Rasmania made Evelyn greet the King, the Queen, and the Crown Prince, Theodore. Evelyn showed great respect just as she practiced countless times, for this moment.

After that, Rasmania introduced Evelyn to the crowd at the Grand Hall. The only moment her heart felt like it was about to explode was when she greeted Marquis Jervas Sigmund and his wife.

She wanted to scream and throw up blood. But Evelyn didn’t forget to show her gentlest, elegant smile to the guests.

She felt like vomiting once she finished greeting and turned around. She couldn’t stand being in the banquet hall. Eventually, she went out to avoid people’s eyes.

Evelyn’s eyes caught Rasmania. She was sitting at a round table surrounded by ladies who tried to flatter her. She had a haughty look on her face while chatting with them.

“Lady Travitt.”

A man approached Evelyn. He was a young man with a handsome appearance and a good physique.

“It’s an honor to meet you. I’m Pietro Sigmund.”

Pietro smiled brightly, slightly revealing his white and neat teeth. It was a smile that looked bright and pure.

At that moment, Evelyn’s heart pounded.
