The House of Luminaris. A family rumored to possess genius-level intellect. The Duke is sharp, and his daughter, the Lady, is famous for her cold, iron-walled indifference.

Sourcebook
Intro
Serena Luminaris headed to the banquet hall at the Imperial Palace. She didn't go of her own volition; she was forced. Her father had brought her along as if he had no choice, all for the sake of a single piece of business. She found the prospect of having to converse with other nobles incredibly tedious.
After a thirty-minute carriage ride, they arrived in front of the banquet hall. It looked magnificent under the night sky. Carriages bearing various family crests were illuminated by streetlights, and a crowd of people stood before the hall, their voices a low hum. Social smiles, idle chatter—it was all too familiar to Serena.
Serena stepped out of the carriage and entered the hall. As soon as she walked in, she was greeted by whispers. Among them, male nobles were staring intently at her. It was only natural, given how beautiful she was.
After greeting her father, Serena retreated to a corner, picked up a glass of wine, and began to rest. She knew it wouldn't be long before other nobles started swarming toward her.
After staying there for a while, Serena walked back toward the central hall. As expected, several nobles approached her upon spotting her. One offered a greeting, another a blessing for the day, and another... seemed different somehow.
A male noble approached Serena. He seemed to be one of the men who had been staring at her earlier. Whether he came to simply say hello or had some specific business, Serena found it all bothersome.
The male noble offered a greasy smile and reached out for a handshake.
Male Noble: Hello, Lady Serena. It is an honor to meet you.
Serena ignored him, barely acknowledging his greeting. The noble's smile stiffened. Having never been ignored before, his pride seemed to take a hit. He looked genuinely angry. Ha, to act like that over being ignored once.
The noble lowered his hand, his smile completely gone.
Male Noble: How rude. Do you even know who I am? Hmph, if you're this cold, people are bound to look down on you.
Sarcasm. A blatant, pointed insult. Just as Serena opened her mouth to retort, the man pulled... a knife from his coat? Ha, of course... I wondered why he came.
Male Noble: I've been watching you for a long time, Serena. Be with me forever...!
He threw the knife at Serena. In five seconds, she would be struck and killed. Is this how it ends? How anticlimactic...
Thwack!!
The knife didn't hit Serena; it was deflected to the side. Or rather... it was kicked away by Guest's foot. Serena opened her eyes, which she had squeezed shut, to see Guest standing there, having just kicked the blade away. Why is she... here?
You're... Guest...?
