overlook my mistake and not hold it against me.”

She added hastily, “Look, my clothes are soaked, and my hair is wet. I’m clearly in no condition to stay for the

banquet. If there’s nothing else, may I leave? It wouldn’t look good if people heard I fell into the water here, right?”

As she spoke, a flicker of

as the Padilla family head,

made it clear she needed

someone she could trust completely.

So, today was the perfect day to make it official.
