The ballroom and this whole occasion itself are more grandiose and splendorous than I could ever imagine.
Then again, this is my first time stepping inside the palace. Even if I already became a distinguished personality in the empire, I never had the chance to lay eyes on anything inside the castle ground.
I'm talking about more than the setting and ambiance, though. Everyone appears well-groomed, stunning and elegant. It's as if there's no such thing as social status here.
People are wearing their own sumptuous definitions of ball attires - prim and sophisticated gowns or dresses for the girls while debonair and charismatic suits or tuxes for the boys.
