Samantha stood there with a smile on her face as she listened to the unending flattery, which at times made her head feel very dizzy.
After all, who was certain that the words were sincere or just mere flattery?
Checking the clock on the wall, she couldn’t help but wonder what time that lass Vivian was going to come and bring the lady she had spoken highly of yesterday.
She couldn’t be blamed. As someone who was in her fifties, a lot of ailments plagued her, despite her constant investment in her health. Age was something that just came with its own problems.
As a person who had climbed from the bottom of society until she was seated on the throne, her body wasn’t as good as what other people might think.
When looking at these young ladies who haven’t been conquered by time, she couldn’t but feel envy.
However, being youthful wasn’t the most important thing that concerned her right now, was her failing health.
To keep up appearances, Samantha hosted another banquet where ladies from all walks of life could gather, meet, connect, network, and socialize.
For those with superb communication skills, their lives might be changed forever for the good, while others might get unlucky. After all, it was very easy to offend others in such events like this. A matter of not recognizing mountain Tai, as what those people from the Lostrus continent always say.
While entertaining the people surrounding her, suddenly a commotion started attracting Samantha to look in that direction to see what was happening.
And when her eyes shifted focus in that direction, she became stunned at every second.
Why does she look familiar?
That was the question that filled her mind as she looked at the young lady dressed in silver, looking ethereal like a goddess.
The silver gown looked pretty good on her light skin and, accompanied by the silver and golden jewelry she was wearing, Samantha finally put one and one and got the answer she was seeking for.
Wasn’t that the young lady she saw the other time at the banquet held last year and at that time she wore a gown with some silver and gold as well? She had looked so beautiful that all eyes were on her back then.
And yet, despite all the attention fixated on her, the lady had been too busy to notice. She didn’t put on airs and simply spent her time with the group of socialites and actresses.
Seeing her once again and this time wearing another silver gown with that long hair adorned with hair ornaments, despite being neatly tied into a high ponytail, Samantha was amused.
"Who is she?"
"She looks pretty fancy!"
"She is pretty!"
"I feel as if I have seen her somewhere!?"
While all these questions were rising, the ladies surrounding Samantha began to ask her questions as well. However, she brushed them aside since she didn’t know much about the lady except for her name.
