Bab 268: The banquet

( Planet Zandar, the victory banquet ) 

Max felt out of place in the banquet, he had never attended such an event and did not know the proper etiquettes for greeting others. 

Almost everyone asked Max why he wore a mask, and suggested that he should reveal his face to the rest of the military men so everybody present knew just how the new rising star looked, however, Max politely refused the offer saying that he was hideously scarred under the mask and hence did not wish to show his face. 

Surprisingly, Anna and Asiva were really good at the event while Severus had decided to not attend.

The two girls had a royal upbringing and had often attended such event's, giving them the necessary social skills needed to manoeuvre through the night flawlessly. 

That left Max with Sebastian, the two buddies who were both clueless idiots as they shook hands with everyone who approached them and raised their glasses to say " Cheers " at every small compliment.
