Tough Night?

The Raven Hall was bustling with people. It was large enough to accommodate more than a thousand guests, and tonight, it seemed the venue was reaching its capacity.

Classical music played in the background as people conversed in hushed tones. Every important figure in the human domain was present—from the heads and heirs of all tiered families to prominent merchants and famous warriors whose names had spread across the human domain.

Anastasia had spared no expense for this ball. She knew well enough that this wasn't Atticus's preferred setting, but she felt it was necessary.

It was a rare sight: representatives from all tiered families gathered under one roof. Despite the numerous feuds and rivalries among them, no one dared cause trouble.

The Ravensteins were untouchable, especially after the Nexus event, and their status would only continue to rise. No one wanted to risk incurring their wrath.
