Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2093

As such, a different explanation had been put forth to the public for the past few days.

"It is said that Serelith and Solvanna were originally twin sisters. However, when the two were born, a passing immortal gave them their fates.

"The immortal decreed that one of the sisters would hold great importance in the future, but if they were raised together, not only would their fates be overturned, but the family would also face calamity.

"Out of pity for the other child, the immortal took her away, granting her opportunities. The immortal promised to return her after 15 years, on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, when the sisters' fates would no longer be at odds with one another."

Among the guests attending the coming-of-age ceremony, a few women quietly discussed the rumors. Of course, these were the words the Ignis family had purposefully spread a few days prior.

This explained why Serelith, who had previously been introduced as a distant relative, was now attending the ceremony as a legitimate daughter of the Ignis family, alongside Solvanna.

However, nobody knew how many truly believed this cryptic tale.

Despite this, it didn't hinder Elysia from organizing the coming-of-age ceremony as a dual event.

To make the story appear more credible, she had rushed to have everything re-arranged in the past few days, ensuring that everything was doubled, with both sets of items being of equal importance.

To avoid drawing suspicion from the guests, she even abandoned the unique gown originally prepared for Solvanna and instead opted for two similar dresses from the rejected selections.

Even so, when Serelith looked at her reflection in the mirror, her eyes couldn't help but glisten. Her gaze was tinged with emotion before her eyes reddened ever so slightly.

Though she might have felt disappointed by her family, it did little to diminish her desire to stand as her own person, the trueborn daughter of the Ignis family. It was her rightful place, after all.

After these past few days of "re-education" by Shannon, Serelith was no longer the timid, pitiful soul she once was. She had begun to grasp the concept of self-determination.

Take this identity, for example. Even though she no longer coveted it, what was hers was hers, and no one would take it from her!

At a time when Serelith longed for the Ignis family's recognition and the completion of her coming-of-age ceremony, her desires had now shifted.

What she truly wanted now was to overturn the entire Ignis family!
