Merlin, Catrine, Luna, Nysera, Nivis, Liora, and Monica were led by Margaret and Lisa to a large villa located at the center of the island.
Although the island looked remote, its facilities were surprisingly well-developed.
Near the dock, a stone-and-asphalt path stretched ahead, leading directly to the villa.
In addition, the island's dense trees had been carefully trimmed and maintained, creating a truly beautiful view.
When the girls spotted the villa in the distance, their admiration reached its peak.
"Wow! What a huge villa! No—calling it a villa is a bit of a misnomer. This is clearly a mansion!" Nivis exclaimed in awe.
She had been born into an ordinary family—one could even say a poor one—so her view of the world was quite limited.
She realized that her friends—Merlin, Luna, and the others—were wealthy nobles far above her.
That was why she sometimes felt inferior and lacked confidence. Fortunately, they were always kind to her and never looked down on her.
