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, where over a hundred ladies and gentlemen tilt their champagne glasses upon 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 miserable compared to the noblewomen surrounding her. A thin blue dress out of fashion, ears devoid of even a single pearl, and a simple hairstyle just gathered together. Her father's absence told the whole story. He didn't even have the luxury to spend money on his daughter's ball. The whispers of the noblewomen, somewhere between pity and mockery, spread like ripples.
At that moment, the atmosphere of the venue shifted. The great 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 around 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 Earldom of Greyfield. The young ladies throughout the hall brightened just by his walking through.

He scans the room. The moment he spots Guest by a pillar near the wall, he tries to step toward her, but is caught by one of the young ladies.

Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the hall, another gaze was fixed upon Guest. Sharp eyes. Yet those eyes held a certain captivating brilliance. Leonardo Harvey, a self-made entrepreneur. A man who built his fortune in finance.
