Before attending the banquet, Song Lan and Lu Xiang went to a department store to buy clothes. This was the highest level banquet in the Twelfth Nation, where most important figures would be present. Their tourist attire just wouldn't do.
When they returned to the hotel, Song Lan paced around the room nervously.
Ever since Princess Lieyang left, he had been somewhat on the edge, as he had never attended such a formal banquet.
"I've told you, there's no need to be so nervous," Lu Xiang said as they compared evening dress styles in the mirror. She found that Song Lan often got hung up on insignificant details.
When it was time to confront the person in charge of the Barrosa Group in the area, he didn't hesitate. Now, ironically, he was apprehensive about a simple banquet, "With our status, no one will seek to engage us in conversation. We just need to sit quietly in a corner and enjoy our meal."
