Several minutes earlier…
"Selena!"
Professor Liliana called out as she walked through the Royal Grand Hall, searching the faces of the people gathered inside.
She had already checked several parts of the hall, yet there was still no sign of her niece.
The party was in full swing, with nobles moving between groups, servants passing through the open spaces, and the sound of conversations mixing with the music in the background.
Every time Liliana checked a spot she wouldn't see her niece there.
Only other Nobles or Non-Nobles conversing with themselves.
And sometimes, they would want her to join in the conversation.
It was getting annoying.
She had only started looking for Selena after one of the girl's loyal fan girls informed her about what had happened.
Apparently, Selena had failed to get Ezra Ashenlocke to become her dance partner and had left afterwards.
The girl had also managed to peek into the conversation, so Liliana had received more than just a vague report.
