Later in the day, when the celebration had come to an end, whilst the people already returned to their designated homes, as well as those staying in the Winged Palace as guests, Duncan remained in the piano room, his fingers making soft notes on the white keys, and when he subconsciously hit a note, the corner of his lips formed a smirk.
