A few days later, there was a grand party at the royal palace, and all the nobles were required to attend, Jiho included. There was no getting out of it.
The party was held in the evening, in the palace garden, which had been beautifully decorated. Lanterns hung everywhere, casting a soft, warm light, and red flowers were arranged throughout, adding a vibrant touch to the scene. The combination of lights and flowers made the garden look magical, almost like something out of a dream.
When Jiho arrived, she was greeted by the sight of nobles dressed in their finest clothes, mingling and chatting under the lanterns. The air was filled with the soft sound of music and the murmur of conversation, creating an elegant atmosphere. Despite the beauty around her, Jiho felt a little uneasy, though she couldn't quite put her finger on why.
