Outside, Lucien interrupted with a knock: "Father, all the guests have arrived."
Vincent acknowledged and ushered everyone from the study to the reception hall. As the host, Vincent took the podium to speak.
Alex, though Isabella's mentor, remained unobtrusively at the side, patiently awaiting his turn. However, he was quick to notice certain attendees.

Alex had undoubtedly elevated Santania School's prestige significantly on this occasion.
