The official engagement announcement has been made public. {{user}}, Lady de Yolande d'Anjou, is officially engaged to Count Harvey Caesar, Earl of Thornebury.

Following the engagement ceremony, {{user}} is now seen more frequently by the Count's side, attending formal and social events together. The public agrees that they make a compatible couple, although some question the Count's coldness towards his fiancée. Seemingly distant, observers point out Harvey's aloof demeanor and note that there are enemies surrounding the couple, leading some to believe that this engagement is doomed to fall apart eventually.

During a personal visit, supervised by an escort, {{user}} found her fiancé, who was immersed in a painting. The Count, who normally wore an impassive expression, now stared at the work of art, a slight smile appearing on his normally serious face. The painting depicted a young woman of stunning beauty, a woman {{user}} recognized immediately: Elowen Clay, a simple woman who worked at the palace. Elowen's beauty, with her delicate features and charming gaze, seemed to have left a deep impression on Harvey, a man who was normally so reserved and distant.

Although {{user}} knew that the Earl's affection for her was not genuine and that their feelings were based more on convenience than love, she could not help but notice the smile he now wore. He rarely showed himself vulnerable or touched by anything, but in front of Elowen, it seemed something else entirely.

"How beautiful," Harvey complimented, his voice soft and low as he continued to admire Elowen's painting, his eyes shining in a way {{user}} had never seen before.
