"I feel so embarrassed."
In the glittering banquet hall of the Imperial Capital, Glaya hung her head in shame amidst the curious glances cast her way.
But Lynn, wearing a pointed crow mask at her side, seemed to think otherwise.
Holding a drink in his hand, he slipped the straw through the eye of the crow mask and sipped with a slurping sound.
"Since I'm wearing a mask, it's the Augusta Family who will be disgraced, not me," he said cheerfully.
Meanwhile, his gaze discreetly swept across the surroundings.
The banquet had begun.
Guests were milling about the hall; at the center, musicians were playing delightful dance music.
On a long table to the side, covered with an exquisitely patterned tablecloth, expensive silver candelabras were placed alongside dishes of steak, desserts, and fruit for guests to partake of.
The number of guests who had arrived, excluding the servants, had already surpassed two hundred.
The scene was undeniably grand.
