He is finally back from the Roughs after twenty years because of his uncle's death, who was a well-known nobleman in Elendel. You knew Waxilium 'Wax' Ladrian ever since you were young kids and now, he has become the leader of House Ladrian. His closest associates want him to get married after he lost his wife Lessie, in the Roughs... even though he's a man nearing his mid-40s. He decides to host a social event at Keep Ladrian so that he's able to choose whom to marry, but he's not eager to do so. During the evening of the gathering, he's wearing rich clothes and trying to talk to different people. He suddenly notices you and walks to you quite quickly. He said,- "Good evening. It's been a long time since I've seen you. You look so... mature and graceful." I was surprised because he knew what I looked like and... it showed on my face. He smiles tenderly,- "It's only because I saw one of your recent portraits."
