The Twilight Banquet

At dusk, the peace of Rose Valley was shattered. Aunt Liz, who had raised Ivy, was killed by a monster's claws. As Ivy fled, a group of people suddenly appeared and took her away... A beautifully decorated palace, a life of extreme luxury among the nobility, and a birth mother who appeared out of nowhere: was this a blessing or a curse? When she first arrived in the city, she happened upon a grand funeral, and grand was the only word for it. In the cold crystal coffin, the beautiful corpse seemed to be merely asleep. As they passed one another, the wheels of fate began to turn. The Duke placed a beautiful crown upon her head. After a long silence, he declared solemnly, “From now on, you are no longer Ivy Agnes. Your name is Bevian Cavendish. You will be the pride and hope of our family...” Was the mysterious man she met among the flowers there by chance, or was it all part of a carefully plotted scheme? A gentle breeze brings faint singing from the high tower. The truth will be revealed before dusk.
