Entertainment at an Archfey Soirée 1    

Ren was already immune to her charms, so he asked instead in a flat tone, "Why are you wearing a mask?"

Elena elegantly gave a half-shrug. "It was to make sure that no one would recognize me."

As the night went on, the room was filled with lively chatter, the clinking of glasses, and the gentle sound of music played by a talented orchestra. The guests danced and laughed, enjoying the company of their fellow nobles and the warm hospitality of their gracious host.
