Her fingers trembled with rage as she thought of Soleil—the son of the Vestalis Family who had somehow wormed his way into the Emperor's good graces. Who had somehow wormed his way into his bedchambers.
"I know you are saddened about the news of your brother, but we will—"
Aria slammed the table with great force, her eyes flashing with annoyance and pure, murderous rage.
"About my brother?" She shrieked, "I don't care about him! What I care about is that things aren't going the way they're supposed to! The Project! The funds! The Duke!"
"H-He has already shown great affection for you..."
"That's not enough." Aria murmured, "he has to love me. He's supposed to—I am the saint. We are perfect for each other, are we not? That Soleil. He reminds me distastefully of someone.

It hadn't proven to be as hard as he had thought; but Y/n knew the true challenge lay in the political meeting he had later on in the day. For the other nobles participating, it was a test—a chance for him to prove his capabilities.
"The mine was the cause of your worries, wasn't it.." Dion murmured, "you were always so jittery during my villa. You refused to tell me anything, but it turns out it's because of this—what a coincidence. I myself was worried about the outcome of the project."
