Several tables had been set up in the hall, laden with dainty pastries.
Some of the pastries were still steaming hot, freshly made by professional pastry chefs on-site.

The younger ones were handsome and beautiful, naturally exuding an air of nobility.
The slightly older ones carried an aura that spoke of high standing.
