The banquet was in full blast.
Noble and aristocratic households were not separated by factions but were seated side-by-side around the tables. Each was sporting the required merry faces as they put behind their enmity against each other to celebrate the grand wedding of Emperor Corean Shuia Eckrett the Usurper and the Kin Slayer.
Each of the invited guests never failed to forget that the seemingly harmless young man sitting on the emperor's throne was someone who waited patiently to take the throne. They never forgot and they would never dare to forget, for there was only one thing that wealthy and powerful folks loved the most—their lives.
The clanking sound of glasses being merrily raised to one another and the bustling murmurs of the guests could not dwindle down the beautiful sound of opera that guided every step of the newly crowned queen as she was being guided by the emperor.
