I had it brought to my attention an issue I had overlooked in the previous update in regards to the scene after MC refuses Aurynn's request to enter the library vault. By mistake, I had forgotten to code in both variations of the scene. This has now been fixed; if the player has not initiated at least three flirtations with Aurynn, the scene will no longer play the romance variation. I want to apologize for any undue discomfort it may have caused. I have also edited both variations of the scenes somewhat to try to better reflect my intentions for the scene.

On another note, while I do not have enough content yet for a major public update, I will instead be releasing chapter 1 part 3 in smaller parts on Patreon as I finish each scene and once I have all of the scenes for part 3 completed, I will set a public release date.  The first mini-update is now available on Patreon here, adding ~18,700 words and covers:

• Meeting Lady Safina (Parim's and Aurora's mother)
  
• Meeting Lady Najaat (Nour's mother)
• An unfinished conversation with MC's mother, Lady Phoebe (will be continued in the next mini-update)
• A flashback scene involving MC, MC's mother, and Luca

Thank you, and happy holidays! :)
