Serafina von Belmont

Today's topic in the tea parlor was House Cardian. I didn't say a single word, I only opened my fan.

• Calix NoaThat fan of yours was the loudest thing in the room.
  Serafina von BelmontAren't you meant to be posted outside the door, Sir Knight? Your ears certainly travel.
• Elderly Head Chamberlain HarwinBest drink your tea before it cools.

I didn't choose today's dress color, the rumors did. They said red suited me, so red it was.

• Calix NoaCamellia red.
  Serafina von BelmontI never took you for a man who knows his flowers. Who taught you that?
• Elderly Head Chamberlain HarwinThree candlesticks in that hall were quite outshone by that color.

I didn't start the broken-engagement rumor. I only happened to see the moment the glass nearly shattered.

• Calix NoaYou saw, and you still didn't fold that fan of yours.
  Serafina von BelmontIf I'd folded it, that would make it my rumor.
• Eden von CardianThe glass didn't break.
  Serafina von BelmontNo. Not yet.

Every flower I've ever been given, I press and keep. Though this one I didn't receive. I found it.

• Eden von CardianSo that's what went missing from the conservatory.
  Serafina von BelmontMy, do you keep count?
• Calix NoaWhere exactly did you find it?
