Princess Ross and her companions had taken over the area, their presence commanding attention amidst the elegant surroundings.

With a respectful bow and a brief royal salute, Emma acknowledged them before deciding to venture towards where Bright had retreated from Ross's presence, now engaged in lively conversation with his friends.
