Mina's eyes flickered with amusement as she prepared to retort to Wulfric's no-nonsense response. His quip towards her lack of responsibility simply had her smirking as it only proved he was blissfully unaware of the truth of her escapades. However, before she could reply, her attention was quickly stolen by the grand entrance of King Edin. The spectacle before her was both impressive and ostentatious, and she couldn't help but be captivated by the charisma, or lack thereof, of the monarch. As the king made his way to his throne, Mina found herself drawn into his performance, though she couldn't help but notice the forced smiles of some of his servants. It seemed Prince Callum was also determined to cause chaos of his own and she couldn’t keep a small giggle from escaping her lips.

As the commotion settled, Mina decided it was time to leave Wulfric's company, bidding both him and Violet farewell as they headed towards a table, and explored the party further. Her uncle had gone and found a place in the shade at a table with some noble women, all of whom seemed to be entranced by the rather handsome count. She was curious to meet some of the other guests, especially Sadie whom she’d yet had the chance to spend time with since they all got to Caesonia. As she made her way through the crowd, she suddenly bumped into a man who seemed rather dazed from stepping on a cherry.

[color=#758173]”Oh, I’m so sorry!”[/color] Mina gasped at the accidental collision, being thrown off balance and almost losing her footing, yet she caught herself just in time. Her eyes widened slightly as she looked up at the man in front of her. There was something strangely familiar about him, something that tugged at her heartstrings in a way she couldn't explain. His dreamy gaze captivated her, and she found herself momentarily lost for words. 

[color=#758173]"Alexander Deacon,"[/color] she repeated softly, a small smile playing on her lips. [color=#758173]"Mina Blackwood, future Countess of Kolonivka. The pleasure is mine, Mr. Deacon. I do apologize for being quite clumsy this morning."[/color] She extended her hand, her heart still fluttering with an inexplicable sense of familiarity. [color=#758173]"You seem oddly familiar to me. Have we met before?"[/color] She knew she was usually incredibly good at remembering names and she was almost positive she hadn’t heard his before, yet there was always a chance a name could slip her mind.
