Asher descended the grand staircase leading to the hall, illuminated by multiple chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.
The party's setting was a perfect simulation of a medieval ballroom. An orchestra played a soft violin rendition of Arctic Monkeys' "I Wanna Be Yours," while Asher inhaled the delectable aromas wafting from the all-you-can-eat buffet. Laughter echoed as fellow students mingled in ball gowns, doublets, hose, vests, loose-fitting trousers, and boots, many accessorizing with faux swords and crowns—the highlight of the masquerade-themed event being the masks everyone wore.
Asher was no exception; he opted for a sleek black mask that complemented his black trousers, boots, and waistcoat over a white shirt with billowy sleeves.
