More and more people tuned in to watch online.
But as everyone admired the powerful gathering, my figure silently appeared in the livestream’s frame.
The moment I was spotted, the chat exploded.
“Isn’t that the former Luna, Aris? Wasn’t she kicked out by that family? Why is she here?”
“Didn’t she already give them her heirloom and blessings? Is she back for more humiliation?”
“How can a woman be this much of a doormat? It’s unbelievable.”
Not only online viewers, but many people at the sacred grounds were also looking at me with confusion.
Damon and Elora, dressed in their finest, froze when they saw me.
Elora stepped forward, her tone sharp. “Aris, today is Torin’s big day. The guests here are all wealthy and influential. How did a poor wretch like you sneak in?”
Damon also glared at me, furious. “This place isn’t welcome to you! Get out of here!”
Facing their harsh dismissal, I calmly replied, “I came in with an invitation.”

Hearing this, they exchanged a glance, suspicion flickering in their eyes.
Torin, in his formal attire, walked up to me, his voice dripping with disdain. “Aris, are you insane? Do you know how important today’s ceremony is to me? I personally prepared every single invitation, and you weren’t on the list! How dare you claim you have one? Have you no shame?”
Elora sneered, “She sounded so convincing, I almost believed you invited her. Turns out she’s just shamelessly lying.”
Damon looked me up and down, disgusted. “She’s probably starving and thought she could sneak in to eat something or steal something valuable to sell.”
Facing their insults and belittlement, I silently pulled out my invitation, its unique wax seal gleaming.
“I’m here as a relative of the Luna.”
