Even after spending time in the bath with Nyx, Arthur still manages to get ready before Margaret and Aria, who still wish to perfect their hair and makeup. So, he descends to the ground floor and meets Oliver and Josephine at the house's entrance.
The feast is slated to start at eight o'clock, and although it's just a few minutes to the hour, some guests begin to arrive in grand, elegant carriages; the first arrivals are all members of the Drummond family, Josephine's siblings and cousins, including the parents of Jovie and others who will fight alongside Oliver and Arthur.
Everyone is quite curious about Arthur, especially after sensing how special his lineage is. Yet, they behave friendly and kindly under Josephine's stern gaze.
While the Drummonds settle at a single large table in the courtyard, other carriages roll into the property, in fact, several of them in a row, making Oliver sigh. "The damn fool really brought everyone he could…"
