Love At The Wrong Table

Lady Rosa’s challenge had stirred Gwain’s pride. She knew exactly how to

provoke him, curious to see how much he could handle. She was well aware

of who her master was hosting that day, and those individuals might very

well surpass even the Northern Region War God.

Roselynn, on the other hand, was left disappointed as Lady Rosa walked

away. Did she not recognize me? Or is she unaware that I’m being held

captive by Gwain and his men?

“Mr. Gwain, while this is Maestro Moretti’s show, she will only sing the final

piece. We still have time. Why not pay a visit to the guests in those VIP suites

and see who they are?” Hank, still simmering with frustration, suggested.

“Indeed,” Gwain muttered coldly, trying to maintain his composure. Being

slighted like this was a first for him. As Southern Lannister, he had never faced

such disrespect. He would make sure to see who dared look down on him.

The Magnolia Theater was a grand complex, not just featuring a modern

opera hall but also a picturesque magnolia garden. It was said that the

innermost part of the garden held a beautiful house made entirely of pear

wood. Even Sonia, despite her wealth, had never been inside.

Since the earlier performances had no connection to Isabella, and only her

disciples were set to perform until her grand finale, Shane took the

opportunity to coax Sonia. “Miss Toma, it’s kind of boring inside the theater

right now. Why don’t we check out the magnolia garden? I heard the scenery

there is fantastic.”

“This… I don’t think it’s allowed,” Sonia hesitated. She knew that part of the

theater was off–limits, especially during Isabella’s show. Security would be

tight.

Shane, realizing Sonia wasn’t the type to break the rules, decided not to push

figure passing by. For a moment, he thought he was seeing things.

Master? Shane’s heart raced. But he can’t possibly be here… Can he? Without

thinking, he jumped up and ran after the shadow.

“Shane, where are you going?”

“Wait here, Sonia! I think I just saw my master!” Shane called back, not

stopping as he darted toward the exit.

“Wait!” Sonia sighed, thinking Shane had just found an excuse to sneak into

the magnolia garden. Worried that he’d cause trouble with the security, she

quickly ran after him to pull him back. She didn’t want to anger Isabella and

cause trouble.

Meanwhile, Owen had been keeping an eye on Shane and Sonia ever since

they entered the opera house. When he saw them slip out, his curiosity

piqued. “Uncle Xander, isn’t that Mr. Gwain Lannister over there?”

“Gwain Lannister?” Xander Quill raised an eyebrow, surprised. Gwain was one

of Zovince’s Four Geniuses, known as the most talented martial artist of his

generation. If there was anyone worth aligning with, it was Gwain.

“Yes, I’m sure of it. He’s heading toward the magnolia garden with three men

and a woman,” Owen confirmed.

“They brought a woman?” Xander was even more intrigued. The Quill family,

with their ties to the Tanner family, had a working relationship with the

Lannisters. Xander was well aware of Gwain’s reputation with women, many

of whom were wealthy and influential figures. He wondered which one he

had brought to Eldoria this time.

“Let’s go take a look,” Xander decided. He wasn’t particularly interested in the

opening acts of the show and figured networking with someone like Gwain

would be far more valuable.

“Shane! Stop running!” Sonia called out, struggling to keep up. By the time she

paused to catch her breath, Shane had disappeared into the garden.

Panting heavily, Sonia leaned forward to rest her hands on her knees. But as

she straightened up, her eyes widened in horror. A massive tiger, completely

unrestrained, was prowling toward her.

“Ahhh! A tiger! Help!” Sonia screamed, frozen in fear. She tried to run, but her

legs gave out, causing her to stumble and fall to the ground.

“Sonia!” Shane, hearing her scream, immediately spun around. His heart

skipped a beat as he saw the tiger inching closer to her.
