[Hedrat Kingdom] The luxurious and exquisite royal palace of the capital was hosting a grand court banquet. The nobles, dressed in splendor, clutched their transparent glass goblets, weaving through young maidservants and beautiful matrons, savoring delicious cuisine with smiles on their faces that were either flattering or self-satisfied.
The banquet's two protagonists were naturally the Crown Princes of Hedrat Kingdom, Harold and Hattar, surrounded by the crowd. Their presence added an air of drawn swords and ready crossbows to the already lively event.
Yet on the throne, the monarch of Hedrat Kingdom, Basel, seemed to be left out, but it appeared that he paid no mind to the slights of the nobility, indifferently watching the dispute between the two princes as if he were observing a dull play.
Just as the banquet was reaching its climax, the grand doors of the hall were suddenly thrown open.
