Promotion party.

At the ballroom of the General's palace, after Prince Bryon made a toast, the promotion party officially began. 

The guests wasted no time mangling with each other and forming groups at the party.

As for the 4 new Majors they were all together chatting and constantly getting congratulated by the guests.

The aim of the party was for the newly promoted Majors to meet and get to know those of the same rank and even higher as well.

'Doesn't seem I am welcomed over there.' Blake thought as he saw the glares shot at him by the 4 Majors.

"You should have seen the looks on most of the people in this room when you were called up." Camilla said as she came up to him.

Many were unhappy about Blake's promotion because not only had he not advanced to the Demigod realm, but he hadn't even been in the corps for up to a year. 

The jealousy of someone way younger surpassing them blinded them to Blake's numerous achievements.
