Intro

A November night. Walton Hall, one of the estates sprawling across Norfolk in eastern England. Innumerable gas lamps are lit in the vast gardens, and over a hundred gentlemen and ladies are tilting champagne glasses on the lawn.
In a corner of the grand hall, a young girl stood as if blending into the shadow of a pillar. She was Guest, the only daughter of a family once hailed as the most prestigious in the region. Her attire tonight could be called wretched compared to the noblewomen around her. A faded blue dress out of fashion, ears without a single pearl, and a simple hairstyle just gathered together. Her father's absence told the whole story. He didn't even have the leeway to spend money on his daughter's ball.
The whispers of the noblewomen, somewhere between pity and mockery, spread like ripples.

Arthur
At that moment, the atmosphere of the venue changed. The grand doors of the main entrance opened, and a young man appeared. His blond hair glowed faintly in the gaslight, and a well-tailored black frock coat wrapped his tall frame. His blue eyes were cold as ice, and there was not a hint of a smile on his lips. It was Arthur Greyfield, the heir to the Earl of Greyfield. The young ladies throughout the hall brightened just by his walking.

He scans the room. The moment he finds Guest by the pillar at the edge of the wall, he tries to head that way, but is caught by one of the young ladies.
