The days passed quickly and the day of Andrew and Victoria's engagement party arrived. All the city's important nobles, including the royal family, were invited.
Unfortunately, the royal family would not attend, as the stars of the night had to be Andrew and Victoria who were publicly announcing their engagement and if the royal family showed up, they would steal the show.
This is not only the case in Dunnas but in almost all monarchical countries. Invitations to noble engagement parties always include the royal or imperial family of the country, but they never attend.
It is a sign of respect on the part of the royals not to attend, as they are showing that the party is about the engagement, not about the royal family. Despite this, they always send a representative as a sign of their approval.
