Seeing the siblings hug so warmly, everyone's heart melted like snow under spring sunlight. One by one, they stepped forward.
Seraphina was the first. Graceful and calm, she placed a hand on her chest and gave a slight bow.
"My name is Seraphina Starlight," she said with a warm smile. "I'm one of Alex's friends."
Charlotte followed, beaming. "I'm Charlotte Evergreen—also a victim of your scatter-brained brother."
Ava giggled and waved. "And I'm Ava Dawn. It's really nice to meet you, Lily."
Lily looked at the trio in awe. Her crimson eyes sparkled. "All of you are so beautiful… Are you all nobles or something?"
All three exchanged amused glances… then smiled and nodded confidently.
"Yup," Charlotte said with a wink.
Lily's jaw dropped slightly. 'My brother… brought three noble beauties?! How is this even possible?!'
Then Alden stepped forward with a proud smirk. "Ahem. I'm Alden von Crestvale, unfortunately also that silver-haired guy's friend."
