Abel decided to spend his new year with Lord Marshall. Instead of attending the evening banquet at the Bakong City Palace, he decided to have Lord Bennett to represent him.
To celebrate the last day of the year, the chefs prepared a lot of exquisite dishes. Some of them were made by Bartoli herself, and she was trying out something new she invented.
There weren't a lot of people at this particular meal. There were the four sphinx head knight commanders. While Bartoli was still a butler, Abel permitted her to make attendance as a family. For rewarding his service to help train the knights at the Harry Castle, Head Commander Bodley also received an invitation.
Lord Marshall raised his cup and announced, "I'm so glad that we are here tonight. I remember when I first adopted Abel. He was still a boy, and he was wearing a, haha, a very simple outfit he received from his father."
