A.Q?

When Alicia left Mabel's apartment that night, an inscrutable feeling settled within her. Attending the event felt like a compelling summons, as if the answers she had been pursuing were intricately woven into this occasion. The pull of destiny was undeniable, though the reason behind it eluded her grasp.

Could it be King Eli, whose memory lingered despite his brief reign, changing the annual banquet date to commemorate his death rather than the full moon?

Or perhaps Lady Paulina and Sir Williams? No, not quite.
