I checked the address Dalton Reeves sent me. Once I confirmed it was correct, I pressed the brass bell by the gate.
The door opened quickly. A maid peeked out. “Sir, who are you looking for?”
“Is this Mr. Reeves’s residence?” I asked.
She brightened. “You must be the honored guest Mr. Reeves mentioned. Samson Ortega from Eclipse Pack?”
I nodded. She stepped aside at once. “Mr. Reeves said to bring you in as soon as you arrived. Mr. Ortega, please board the carriage.”
“Carriage?” I looked toward the courtyard. A wooden carriage with old-fashioned carvings waited beneath a sycamore tree. A coachman held the reins of a brown horse. “Where exactly are we going?”
“Mr. Reeves said the cooperation meeting requires a quiet place. You will understand when you get there.” Her tone was apologetic but offered no further explanation. “The carriage is ready. This way, please.”
I frowned but didn’t refuse.
Dalton was the key figure controlling Mooncrest Pack’s energy-crystal transport routes. This deal was crucial for Eclipse Pack. However unusual his methods were, I had to follow through.
I ducked into the carriage. The coachman flicked the reins lightly, and we began moving into a bamboo forest. The wheels rolled over fallen leaves, making a soft rustling sound.
I didn’t know how long we traveled. Eventually, the carriage slowed. “Mr. Ortega, we have arrived,” the coachman said.
I pushed open the carriage door, and a rich-but not overpowering-scent wrapped around me at once. In front of me stretched an endless lavender field. Purple blooms rolled in the wind like waves in a violet sea.
The golden light of sunset spilled across the flowers, coating each petal with a soft glow. In the distance, a wooden boardwalk curved toward a white gazebo in the center of the field. It looked like someone was sitting beneath it.

As soon as I stepped onto the walkway, I heard laughter. Crisp, bright, full of energy. It sounded exactly like Amanda when she won sparring matches at the training camp.
My steps halted. My heartbeat quickened. I followed the sound almost without thinking.
In the center pavilion, a girl crouched with her back turned, playing with something on the ground.
She wore an ivory cotton dress. Her black hair was tied loosely behind her head. A few strands swayed by her neck in the breeze. Just that back view made my chest tighten-her build was almost identical to Amanda’s.
“Bubby, stop. You’ll fall,” she said with a soft laugh, turning her head slightly.
That was when I saw her face clearly. Snow-pale skin. Bright, clean features. A natural smile tugging at the corners of her lips. It was Amanda without disguise.
