Meanwhile...

Inside the Grand Hall, a buzz filled the air as people gathered to witness the engagement ceremony, the grand event drawing nearly everyone of importance to the room.

"Sigh, why now, of all times," Aqualina muttered, her expression reflecting deep dissatisfaction as she sank back into her chair. She could hardly believe they were postponing something as critical as the trial just to attend an engagement. The entire situation was, frankly, absurd to her.

"Well, maybe this is actually the ideal time," Thalia replied with a casual shrug, glancing around the packed hall. "With all the chosen ones gathered here, it could be the perfect opportunity for a grand engagement that will go down in history... or something like that," she said, a hint of irony in her voice as she sat across from Aqualina.
