227 Showtime

(Planet Gaia- Imperial Palace)

(Grand Hall- Waiting Room)

There were numerous side rooms and passages connected to the grand hall where the banquet was being held.

Each noble entering the grand hall was the heir to a powerful family in the Federation so the palace attendants were required to make announcements for each one and treat them with the utmost respect.

This did slow down the process to enter the hall, so these noble heirs were granted access to the side rooms while they were waiting.

These rooms were not uncomfortable by any means as they contained several lounge chairs, couches, refreshments, and plates of light snacks.

A few hours has passed since the banquet had begun so the nobles waiting to enter the grand hall had significantly decreased.

This was good news for Sophie and her group as they had arrived quite late due to a schedule mix up by one of the boys travelling with them.
