Papa was standing near the stage area with a small group of house staff members. He looked quite comfortable in his formal attire, as if he wore it every day, as opposed to the lab coat over his jeans and tee-shirts.
Of course, Papa was a Montblanc. He was first and foremost, a human noble before he was ever a scientist, and he looked every bit as distinguished as Granpa Henri Montblanc.
Gabriel made another signal. A tall stately woman in a deep blue dress, with raven dark hair and bright blue eyes walked out onto the stage and stood next to Papa.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the mage courts, as well as all who are here to join us in our celebration, I present to you our two witnesses who are also our dearest family members, my mother, the Princess Annaise Dupre, and my wife's father, Doctor Étienne Montblanc."
He paused as the applause started again. This time, the cheering went on for quite some time.
