The man who spoke seemed very refined, in stark contrast to the roughness of Col Ithan and the intimidating presence of Julian. He exuded an air of careless arrogance stemming from privilege and status. Walking a dangerous line, a small misstep could lead him to folly, akin to Yantry. Despite not knowing who he was, Grace felt compelled to respond, offering an awkward smile.

The man, standing at six feet and one inch, approached her casually, one hand tucked in his pocket, exuding a laid-back vibe. "Grace, what brings you to a place like this? Is it because of Yancey again?" he inquired. Grace took a couple of steps back. "And who might you be?" she asked. The man raised an eyebrow, his eyes glinting with amusement before Ethan called out, "Simon!" At the mention of his name, Simon's demeanor turned cold. "What game are you playing this time?" he coldly remarked.

It was then that Grace recognized him as Simon Yul, a prominent figure among the elites. Three years prior, he had fled Druville to escape an arranged marriage, leaving his bride to marry into his family in his absence. Now that he had returned, he was likely to meet his unknown wife to finalize a divorce. Grace, having heard the rumors, remained composed. "So, you're Mr. Yule," she stated calmly. Simon had returned to Ethan's side, crossing his arms with a scoff.

"Have you lost your mind?" he remarked, recalling her past behavior. Confusion clouded Grace's mind. Had she crossed paths with Simon before losing her memories? Simon continued, "You used to act so arrogantly around us, like a fool. Are you no longer avoiding us? Aren't you afraid of Ethan's wrath?" he taunted with a hint of malice. Glancing at Ethan, who appeared distant, Grace felt Simon's gaze linger on her. "Ethan, is the person you're waiting for here?

Shall we go in now?" Ethan, seated in his wheelchair, responded cryptically, "They're here." Simon's surprise was evident as he scanned the room. "They're here? Where?" he inquired. Without a word, Ethan began to move forward in his wheelchair, with Simon following suit. Grace trailed behind, catching snippets of Simon's conversation about his sister. As Grace pondered their discussion, Simon abruptly turned to her, his tone cold.

"Grace, how long do you plan to follow us?" The hostility in Simon's demeanor was palpable, leaving Grace to wonder if he would have acted aggressively if Ethan had not been present. With a look filled with animosity, Simon warned, "I'll let you off this time without ridicule. But do you truly believe the Yule family has forgotten your past transgressions?"
