They all say that Adelline Sylvir had started a new, prosperous era for their house, the very moment that the young lady became the head of their house— everything seemed to fall into place. All scrunity, doubt, and insults hurled at the new matriarch of their family, dissolved into nothing; she's proved them all wrong.

From a family that is dysfunctional as theirs, came a new light led by the woman who resembled the true Sylvir beauty and tradition— many respect her, a good few envy her nonchalance towards the rumours revolving her alleged incompetence as a member of the royal court.

Adelline Sylvir, The Unfeeling— it became a name that's whispered around in wonder and fear. They fear what the woman would do if she were their enemy, their lips sealed tight with any ill comment they might have of their house

It's been said that she looks the most like Adelline in her youth, save for the part that her eyes are frighteningly red— coming from the other side of her family, otherwise.. she's the epitome of Sylvir genetics.

The gods play cruel games, all she ever wanted was to be as great as her mother, being the heir to their house and the responsibilities that come along with it.

But people whisper, they say such quiet, biting words that Kyori catches wind of— they say that she wouldn't be fit to be the heir, that she is far too fragile for it.
