Then her gaze shifted again, and in the middle of the array of three hundred people, she saw Vittel Haddon.
Of course, it was just a seemingly casual glance, sweeping past without stopping on Vittel's silhouette.
Unexpectedly, her casual glance seemed to meet a gaze that was intently watching her.
Immediately, Sera frowned, turned her face away, stood back on her toes, and disappeared back into the crowd.

Many years ago, who knows what nerve De Guke struck in his head, or what twisted habit he developed from isolating himself in the lab all day, but he happened to take a fancy to Sera Augustus, his distant cousin, from the crowd, and then began a relentless campaign of harassment, intimidation, and coercion.
