[AW] [Welcoming Party] The Shadows of House Vogelstein

[Jane]

JaneThe place called her name. Vogelstein. The word had never felt so rich on her tongue, like a full-bodied wine.. She couldn’t fight the awe in the back of her head, at the vision of all these people who shared her blood.. Her name had been a rare one, where she came from. The Vogelsteins had always been an insular group, and she had never been fully integrated. Her father’s name was the one registered.  

But she had barely interacted with her father growing up. He was a kind fellow, but irrelevant to Jane’s upbringing. 

 But there was a slight ease at the vision of the crowd. All people who were welcoming her home. Home, what a strange word. Had she ever felt at home, anywhere on this earth? Had the court been home? 

Sebastian’s voice rang out and she turned her head to look at her cousin. Gratitude bubbled in her chest. He was the one who had arranged all this. No one had ever done something this kind for her before… “Thank you. I’m already having a wonderful time.” She nodded and started to follow him.
