Glimmering Tower was one of the tallest buildings in the capital. From its highest point, visitors could gaze down at the southern river port and take in a breathtaking view of much of the city's beauty. The entire structure was imposing and magnificent, and it exuded a level of luxury that was truly extraordinary.

However, getting a seat in the private room on the top floor of Glimmering Tower didn't ccheap. Just the coffee alone cost five silver coins, and ordering a meal could easily run into dozens of silver coins for something simple. For a nicer dish, the price could soar into the hundreds or even thousands of silver coins.

As for who owned Glimmering Tower, not many could say. What everyone knew was that those who went to the tower were either rich or nobles, and the tower made a fortune every day. Those who knew the owner of Glimmering Tower kept it to themselves, as there aren't many left in the capital who have connections with that person in Meadow Ridge.

Violet and Opal arrived first. Violet was skilled at charming others, and she now referred to Opal as her sister-in- law. Opal was delighted by it, and frequently expressed how lucky she felt to have such a sister-in-law like Violet. When they reached Glimmering Tower, Darin hadn't arrived yet. Violet scurried around, taking in the tower's opulence and satisfaction glowing on her face. "When I formalize my relationship with Alice, I'll host dozens of tables here and treat everyone to a feast." Opal chuckled. "How much money would that cost? It'd be more practical to host a banquet at home. Everyone in the neighborhood knows I have a knack for organizing events. Are you planning to denythe chance to show off my skills?" Violet laughed. "That sounds wonderful, but I worry you might tire yourself out and Timothy would blme." "Timothy..." Opal's smile slowly faded, a wave of longing washing over her. "I can barely remember what he looks like now. I wonder when he can return to the capital again. It's been a long tsince the fighting ended." Violet comforted her. "We can't let our guard down just yet. Things are still chaotic over there, and it's risky if we don't station any strong troops there. Timothy has gained seniority and got promoted, so he should be able to return to the capital soon." "It's hard to balance loyalty and devotion to one's family. I'm sure he's also having a hard time." Opal sighed. "If it weren't for our family in the capital, I would have really considered taking the children and running to his side." Violet pulled her into a seat in the private room. "There's no need for that. Once things settle down over there, he'll be able to cback." As they spoke, the coffee sommelier entered the room with Darin, and a maid followed behind him. Since Opal's maid was waiting outside, Tamara also sat down at a small table outside, enjoying scoffee that was provided for the private room. However, the door to the room was open, allowing anyone inside to see and hear everything going on.

Darin wore a light yellow top paired with a white embroidered pleated skirt. Tiny pearls adorned her earlobes, and a delicate blue hairpin decorated with droplets was in her hair. The accessories complemented her overall elegant and serene appearance. She curtsied politely. "Hello, Madam Opal, Ms. Spencer." The two women rose in return. "Hello, Ms. Sanford. Please have a seat." "Ladies, please take your seats," Darin urged.

Opal smiled. "We're not in any formal setting, so no need for formalities. Just sit down." Ever the bold one, Violet plopped down first, and the others followed suit.

The coffee sommelier served them, pouring a cup for each and making a gesture inviting them to drink before stepping back.

Violet waved him off. "You can go now. We just want to chat." "Of course, I'll be outside. If you need anything, just call for me." "Bring out ssweet snacks, maybe eight or ten kinds," Violet said, recalling Jacob's description of how much Jaina enjoyed sweets.

But then again, tastes could change as one grew up.

The coffee sommelier nodded and retreated. Videt turned her attention to Darin, and deliberately pulled out the little Rabbit figurine Jacob had given her. She placed it on the table to play with as she asked casually, "Ms, Sanford, what do you enjoy doing in your free time?" The content. is on novelenglish.net!

Darin glanced at the rabbit figurine before looking away, smiling softly as she replied, "Not much. I mostly do sembroidery."

'm "Your embroidery skills must be exceptional, then. I admire that!" Violet remarked Hex fingers traced the spot where one of the rabbit's ears had broken off, feeling the smooth edges. Darin's gaze returned to Violet's hand, studying it for quite a while before recalling her manners.

She spoke with a hint of humility, "It's nothing exceptional, really. Just something I do for fun." X
