The Grand Duke and Duchess of Lunaris both looked up from the last course they were indulging in respectfully—a raspberry soufflé, as we had made it to the dessert portion of the dinner we were sharing with them. Things were far calmer at Skellace Estate, the home in which Lavania had grown up her entire life as a noble lady; it was a nice change from the hustle and bustle of the palace where we knew many servants and sphere members were probably running around like chickens with their heads cut off as they prepared for the imminent future.

It was inevitable.

Duke Cellach, Lavania's grandfather cleared his throat, "I hope I'm mistaken, Lavee but you said war... with Espos?" He repeated.
