"Hey, Kara, what was that for?" Diana cried, holding her head.
"Stop it. You're making the young master uncomfortable," Kara said firmly. "You'll be punished for disrupting Master's meeting."
Alex turned his gaze to the new speaker.
She looked to be in her thirties—thin, almost frail—but carried a serene, sunny aura that naturally made those around her feel at ease.
Her attire seemed like that of a noble, but more understated. It wasn't flashy like typical aristocratic fashion, yet not entirely plain either. It walked a fine line between modest and refined.

Sensing his eyes on her, Kara turned and gave a graceful curtsy.
"Hello, Young Master Alex. I'm Kara Temple. As I believe you've already guessed, I am a Beast-Tamer Druid."
"Yes. Nice to meet you," Alex responded with a proper mage's bow.
