People are divided into classes.
Nobles are no exceptions.
There are high nobles, lesser nobles, and also knights who are and aren't nobles at the same time.
This banquet of the Sudor family divides these classes distinctly.
Marquis Garcia, Baron Charles, and Vera, these three, belong to the central circle of the banquet.
Countless people try to squeeze in, but they only dare to greet them briefly, before retreating. They dare not linger, for that would be impolite, an overestimation of one's status.
Outside the core circle, there is another group led by Count Uman.
This group includes three counts and also the hosts of the banquet—the people of the Sudor family.
Further outside, there are various barons and baronets.
The last group, the one with the most people, includes knights like Colin.
Strictly speaking, Colin is qualified to enter a group of barons, but he realizes that the banquet is not as simple as it seems, so he deliberately lowers his presence.
