End of the Banquet

The romantic harmony of the music that could be heard throughout the room in the palace, were still ringing in the ears. All the invited guests were still busy with their conversations in their respective groups. Almost all of them were talking while holding a glass in his hand. The conversation that seemed unwilling to they did not want to end, occasionally interspersed with drinking activities.

Daniel's sharp eyes caught the presence of a girl who looked from behind, it felt like Daniel was very familiar with the golden brown dress she wore. The man in the black tuxedo stepped closer to the girl who was sitting alone near the pillar of the palace building.

"Good evening, Martha!"

"Ah, Daniel! You startled me."

"Can I sit here?" he asked, turning Martha's gaze to an empty chair nearby.

"Of course Daniel. Sit down!"

"Are you daydreaming, Martha? Until I startled you?"

"Ah, that's... It's just that I was thinking about something. I was thinking too seriously."
