An Incredulous Party

We delivered the body of Jan to Jhin at the castle. In exchange for the body of his enemy we were invited to a party. Northal's a weird place. Conveniently (or unconventionally, I'm really not sure which) the party is at Baron Oelrich's estate. The one I just wrote about breaking into and out of. Yeah, that one.
 
So I spent the next four days switching back and forth from being stupidly excited to go to a party and being terrified it's all a setup. Jhin wouldn't do that to us. But who knows what Oelrich told him. Come to think of it he's not here is he? I did get a new dress though! I went shopping with Eleanora and it 's black (duh) and made of silk and this kind of see-through material I don't know the name of and it has long sleeves and it's really pretty. It's really nice, I love it. We also bought those cool lights they make at the Institute for our house. When I was over there I probably should have went and gotten my schedule but the dresses were too exciting! I forgot.
 
I met Eleanora's mom downstairs! The real one. She was ... not like Eleanora. She may have it out for me now too. So, just making enemies left and right in Northal I am!
I also bumped into Professor Achen, who seemed surprised to see me. He was talking to a very excited lady student who seemed pretty perturbed that I interrupted, which honestly, happens like every time I see him. He did tell me I was allowed to go to the library if I wanted, so of course I did.
 
So, I'm in the library now, killing time. Because of course at a party I ended up reading a book. I'm going to say that's Lian's fault. But I got a glance at the library last time I was here and it was so cool! I mean I've never been here before. Stick to your rhetoric Wren, you know that. Baron Volbrecht, Professor Ickes and another student are here too doing who knows what. Oh, also Wren- go get your syllabus and schedule- like immediately after the party. Stupid distracting dresses. There's defiantly subterfuge going on though, like with everyone. This doesn't seem like a very honest place and I can't tell, well, anything really. I guess that's nothing new. And I was reading about where I think Lian went and-
 
Wait
What was that noise?
