Chương 61: An unexpected guest

At that instant, Freya couldn't help but sigh in relief in her heart. Whatever or whoever prompted the sudden rise in murmurs just arrived at the right moment.

At least she wouldn't have to give a response.

With a grateful heart, Freya's eyes searched for the source of murmurs. Her smile shone much brighter than before, but it froze halfway at the familiar face of her cousin. He was escorting an unfamiliar young lady whose presence undeniably commanded attention, especially with her unique outfit for the banquet.

Freya found the young lady oddly familiar, though she couldn't immediately place where she might have seen her before. But that wasn't the important part.

Her cousin was the one who had her deep thanks? Freya almost shivered in disgust and immediately curbed the fleeting appreciation she felt for his arrival.
