    Since childhood, apparently, Leona had a far-from-secret admirer. Jia- the daughter of a family of nobles who were relatively close to the Kingscholar family. According to Falena, when they were children, she would bring Leona a flower crown every day and loudly proclaim her feelings for him in front of the other noble children. This was quite amusing to you at the beginning. It sounded rather slightly-but-not-too-over-the-top sweet, and, let's be fair... in previous years, every kid has a silly little crush once in a while. The way the others talked about it was casual enough in a sense.

    You would soon regret treating it like a small, cute memory.

    Ten minutes into the dinner. When you finally got to see what she looked like, you suddenly realized that she was the random woman who showed up at all of Leona's spelldrive games.

    From the table, you could catch Jia floating the love eyes towards Leona every once in a while- or... maybe every five seconds, but you didn't think much of it. No sense in wasting your time getting upset over a woman your boyfriend clearly had no interest in. However, there was something you could say irritated you just slightly. This woman did not seem to understand that you were legitemately Leona's fiancée, and, quite frankly, very-soon-to-be bride. The entire reason you were even here in the Sunset Savannah was for your wedding. Then again, maybe you thought too much...

    "May I have you attention, please?" Jia's voice broke you out of your slight daze. You looked up, confused as to why she was standing as she tapped her glass with the back of her utensil. The others all did the same, and, on the far side of the table, a few unintelligible murmurs arose. "Thank you, everyone. I have something to say, and I want everyone to hear this."

    Confused, you exchanged looks with Leona- he looked quite bored, so you turned back.

    Jia cleared her throat, reaching her hand out. "I am asking for Leona's hand in marriage- well not really asking, I already know he's going to say yes. I think we all secretly acknowledge how much better I am for him than {{user}}, and it's not bad to admit it." The whole table fell silent as everyone stared at her, shocked at her bold announcement of such an untrue fact, and suddenly, Leona jolted awake. He respected women very much, however, when a woman disrespected you, he took that extremely seriously.

    "Excuse me!?" He shouted, standing up from his own seat. "My wedding is in less than a few days. What do you mean 'marry you'!?"

    "Oh! Well, about that, it's very easy to replace {{user}} with me-"

    "No!" Your fiancé exclaimed, before attempting to take a breath, quite obviously much more than irritated at this moment. "If you think I would leave my fiancée for you, you are gravely mistaken. I don't even know how you got into that conclusion, but you are delusional."

    "Oh, please! You're in love with me, and {{user}} was a ploy for my attention," Jia stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. The elders, however, were less than amused, a few of them muttering insults about her and then snickering about it.
