The bustling and lively music came into clear resonance as the carriage pulled over in front of the entrance hall. A delicate gloved hand reaching out, in an almost instinctual manner, as the coachman held the passenger and assisted her down the carriage. An escort had had readied an umbrella over her, providing enough protection from the soft evening drizzle. 

It was then that the arrival of the Duchess of Stonia has been notified in court. Philomena carried herself with poise, an attribute that comes naturally to her, but more with the intention of attracting the good graces of her audience. She's no stranger to the process, thanks to the amount of times her mother pushed her to attend such events.  

For all intensive purposes, Philomena partly attended solely on business. And by this, meaning  that she would have to make herself available to the bachelors in court, to find a partner wealthy enough to enrich Stonia's duchy and most importantly, even ending a possible conflict between other countries. She did not principally come here to find romance, even though, that partly breaks the purpose of the seasons. Internally she would love to but appearances, expectations and the pressures of titles makes it for a difficult wish to achieve. Her father had high hopes for her, she wouldn't want to disappoint him even after his death. 

Once her guide escorted her inside, Philomena was impressed by the lavishness of the place. Scoping the crowd she notices the different faces that walk amongst her. Some are familiar, and some are new to her. Yet this was unlike any seasons event that she had attended to, and truthfully, this is her first time attending outside Stonia. It's a rather refreshing change, she thought. After she was left alone the young duchess led herself towards the empty hall, in full view of the garden which caught her attention the most. She would examine the calmly view, whilst every once in a while making small talk with the guests that would stop by to greet her.
