Several hours went by and Maeve's introduction party ended as a resounding success for the young mistress of the Taidale Family.
Despite her grandaunt and the Sect's Leader being absent for most of the party, she had managed to make some valuable connections.
As for those that clearly had malicious intent, Lucia had made sure to verbally tear them apart and make them think twice about trying to entrap Maeve in any nefarious plans.
Evelyn had barely focused on any conversation and only spoke when she was specifically addressed. Her mind was elsewhere for the majority of the event.
Thankfully, Vivienne did eventually return. Though Ellison and the two members of the Deamhain Sect did not come back with her.
After giving a few more words of praise to Maeve, she brought an end to the party, and everyone went their separate ways.
