Bab 322: Missing You

Amongst his many admirers was Lady Lizette. Like many other noblewomen, she too was mesmerized by Dante. She usually would not have attended such a large-scaled function, but upon hearing that it was Dante's coronation; she accepted the invitation. 

She had hoped to speak to him in person and introduce herself. But no matter how hard she tried, she could not muster enough courage to do so. Hence, she chose to observe him from afar for the rest of the evening. 

"My my, is this who I think it is?" it was Lady Melrose. 

Lizette instantly recognized her voice. She wanted to leave but Lady Melrose's friends blocked her path, forcing her to interact. 

"Lady Melrose, it's... it's nice seeing you here," she quickly greeted her as she bit her lip. 

Lady Melrose had been nothing but horrible to Lizette every time they met. She and her ladies in waiting would always attempt to ridicule Lizette. They seemed to enjoy her misery very much.
