The first day Seraphina met Lucien was at her debut party at the royal palace. She had heard so much about the Vortellions that she just wanted to see them.
Her father, friends and even the staff at her mansion kept talking about how wealthy and powerful they were. They were even more powerful than the royal family.
Seraphina wanted to know what kind of family they were and at that party, she didn't need to be told who they were. They stood out. She had debuted earlier than the other ladies.
The academy was on a break when Lucien returned home. He didn't want to visit the palace for the winter party but he did anyway since it was his father's order.
He hated the gossip, the stench of hard perfumes that were mixed in the air, making it hard for him to breathe or the laughter they made when nothing was funny.
He couldn't relate to them and that's when he heard a voice behind him. It was Lady Seraphina.
She boldly walked towards him. That was their first meeting.
