After the Inferno Guild, the next announcement came from the capital's physician's office, Arcane Sanctum. They had sent various precious medicinal herbs, including a century-old rare herb and snow lily.
Following Arcane Sanctum was the Tideborn Guild, which also sent rare treasures. Among them, Mystic Pearls were the most prized. They seemed determined to outdo the Inferno Guild, delivering three jars of Mystic Pearls, along with a variety of gemstones. Their offerings filled three entire boxes.
Viola grew colder, and trembled with each announcement. The more she heard, the more her body shook.
Carissa also felt her body shiver more with every announcement. She could hardly hear the list of gifts, only the names of the guilds. Many of these guilds were unfamiliar to her.
Why would they add to her trousseau? It must have been her master who informed them.
Finally, after hearing announcements from six or seven more guilds, Carissa recognized the voice of her fifth guild senior.
"The goddaughter of the Pathfinders Guild's leader is getting married. The guild has sent a dowry of one hundred and eight chests, ten shops in the capital, two estates in Meadow Ridge, and ten thousand gold coins."
The sound reverberated through the long street, likely audible for ten streets around.
The Pathfinders Guild? Carissa was indeed an apprentice of the Pathfinders Guild, but was she more than just an apprentice?
The sheer weight of the dowry items left everyone stunned.
Viola had also hired the Elegance Atelier's maids for her makeup, and had a slightly heavier application due to a few freckles on her fair skin. Nevertheless, the blush was well-applied, giving her a more natural look.
However, upon hearing the deafening shouts reverberating through several streets, her made-up face turned ghastly pale.
What? The Pathfinders Guild sent what? One hundred and eight chests of items? Ten shops in the capital? Two estates? And ten thousand gold coins?
This was impossible! Ten thousand gold coins was an unimaginable weight! How could it be carried? It had to be a mistake.
"Yvonne, go outside and see!" Viola shouted in disbelief.
Adrian's rough, calloused hand gently brushed her face, wiping away her tears. With a sad smile, he added, "Enough now, don't cry. Your makeup is too beautiful to ruin with tears. Was this beauty mark just for show? Why has it faded?"
Carissa sobbed uncontrollably. "Sage Adrian, you all lied to me! You said you wouldn't come, and now you're here. You've made me lose sleep for nights, and now, you show up just as I'm about to leave!"
She wiped her tears repeatedly, gradually managing to distinguish the faces of those who had arrived.
Her master, Everett, and her fellow guild members…
The head of the Inferno Guild, accompanied by his apprentices, also arrived. Violet was making faces at her, and even though Violet's eyes were red, she still managed to smile.
There were members from the Crystal Bloom Guild, Lunar Guild, and Emerald Guild, as well as the eldest sons of prominent Ebonflow families and many other guilds Carissa didn't recognize.
Cynthia and Bun were also there, standing behind their own masters. They smiled at her, their own eyes misted with tears.
