The Scholar's Butcher Princess

Triple First Laureate, Aidan Seward, was parading when a ragged Serena Valerius blocked his path, calling herself his long-lost acquaintance, Gemma Seward. Aidan was shocked, but upon seeing her disheveled appearance, he felt distant. He concluded she was the sixth person to falsely claim a connection. Serena Valerius threw out half of a jade pendant. Aidan took out the other half, and as they fit together, childhood memories flooded back, and he realized she was indeed the long-lost Gemma.
