Starfania felt her jaw tighten, the weight of Ren's revelations still lingering in her chest like a bruise. The fractured alliance. Veltre's death. The ghost of betrayal that still haunted the hall like smoke. Yet somehow...the man's sneering voice cut deeper than all of it. His comment hung in the air, dripping condensation. The room stilled. Starfania lifted her chin. Her smirk grew just a fraction.
" A bold claim," he said, eyes narrowing. " But words are cheap. And you—"
His gaze swept her up and down slowly, dismissively. " —don't strike me as someone who's earned the right to speak to them."
Starfania felt the familiar heat rise in her chest—the simmer of VulcanFire temper she inherited from both bloodline and kingdom. She inhaled once, steadying herself. That was when Felix tilted his head. Ren shifted sharply beside her—a quick, subtle shake of her head. A warning: Don't take the bait. But Starfania's smirk remained. Slow. Precise. Dangerous.

" Funny, " she whispered. " My father never mentioned hiring someone whose mouth runs faster than his brain. "
A small snort of amusement escaped from Ichini at the far end of the table. Felix's gaze flicked toward Starfania with quiet interest. Lucian's lips curved—barely—as if acknowledging a point made with skill.
But the man she was addressing—one of Lucian's lesser officers—did not find humor in any of it. He leaned back in his chair, eyes narrowing to slits.
" You've got spirit," he said coldly. " Shame, it's completely useless."
Starfania let out a thoughtful hum.
" Perhaps," she said, " but it's still more useful than whatever it is you're doing here."
Ren set down her glass with a soft click.

" Enough," she said gently—but her eyes gleamed with pride. " You're provoking a child and losing."
Ichini burst into laughter, folding her arms behind her head.
" That was a good one," she chimed, swinging her feet under the table. " He totally walked into that."
The man stiffened. Lucian glanced at him—just a single look—and the man immediately lowered his eyes, silent. The room shifted again—less hostile, but far more curious. Felix leaned back, his voice smooth, analytical.

" So," he said, studying Starfania as if she were a puzzle he intended to solve. " This is Cesar's daughter."
Starfania straightened instinctively. Ren placed a subtle hand on her back, a reminder she was not alone. Felix's expression remained unreadable.
" Hm," he murmured, eyes narrowing thoughtfully. " I see why he keeps her hidden."
The words struck like a spark on dry kindling—but before Starfania could respond, Ren stepped forward, her gaze sharp.
" That's enough for now," she said, her voice steady with authority. " Starfania is here tonight to learn. Not to be judged."
Felix raised an eyebrow, but he did not argue. Lucian looked intrigued. Thanatos remained still as stone, but the faintest curve of dark amusement pulled his lips. Ichini winked at Starfania. The tension did not vanish—but it changed. Shifted. Focused. Because now...every one of them had truly seen her. And none of them would be forgetting her anytime soon.
