Upon entering the manor, Sophia was greeted by Countess Denica herself. The Countess was as imposing as she was beautiful, with piercing green eyes and raven-black hair. She wore a black gown that seemed to shimmer in the light, and around her neck was a pendant glinting with a mysterious gemstone.

The Countess, hot with passion for her work and her people, had not only shared her knowledge but had also shown Sophia the value of strong female leadership and the power of embracing one's true self.

Sophia hesitated, unsure of what lay ahead. But her desire for the truth propelled her forward. She agreed to the Countess's terms, and thus began her journey under Countess Denica's tutelage.
