The castle was bustling with noise and excitement. Beautifully-dressed madams were gathered in groups, discussing which perfume was better or which clothes were more trendy. They were chit-chatting without a moment of pause.
Meanwhile, most of the mature aristocrats had acquaintances with them. They gathered together and talked to each other at a low volume.
There were many fruits and drinks at the dining table in the castle. The fruits were cut in bite-sized pieces and placed on the plate. The maids were busy about, delivering plates of fruits or drinks to the aristocrats.
Count Selin was also speaking to a few middle-aged men in a rather friendly manner.
