Founding Ball pt. 2

The royal hall of the palace was filled with people of the nobility. Powerful families, regardless of their factions, were gathered all together. 

Some of them were still yet to arrive and that includes the Hermans, the Ethalions, and the Vineas. 

Each of these powerful families would snatch the chance of making their presence known during these formal events. It is not rare to see them at all, but what's rarer would be the appearances of some prominent figures of the Empire.

Marquis Eim Ritch, the wealthiest merchant who would only attend such occasions once in a blue moon, was present. He was accompanied by his wife and two sons. 

The Shai family, who is also of noble birth, are there. They are of Count status but even so, they are old money. Meaning, their family existed even before the empire was founded. They don't appear much as well and would rather stay in their fief located in the South.
