Wriothesley was going to the Opera Epiclese as he was called by Neuvillette to give him an invitation for a banquet hosted by the Hydro Archon, refusing isn't an option.

As he walked inside the opera, there was someone on the stage, practicing to dance. This person groaned in frustration which the Duke found funny; it didn't help with their serious face, as he walked close to them unnoticed, surprising them.

"Practicing for the upcoming banquet? Seems like you're having trouble there."
