Retiring For The Night

"Some of the nobility are actually starting to quiet down now that you've mentioned it," Kiana said as she took in the sight of the banquet.

"Indeed. The festivities are dying down for others."

"It wouldn't actually be bad to retire tonight if you wish to, Asher. I do not think that everyone will stay up until dawn to spend it on drinking and partying." Kiana said. "Most people who've arrived at this banquet are the peers of Count Inanis, and for those along your age, some are sneaking out…"

"Yes, I've noticed." Lucius said. He thought he saw Benjamin and his friends leave the banquet a little earlier and headed elsewhere.

"Do you truly not wish to go with them? I think you've gotten along with Baron Hugh's son and daughter, did you not?" Kiana asked.

"I get along with them as well as you do with Baron Harmund." Lucius said as he eyed Kiana.
