Bab 112: It was he who had truly changed Part II

“Many thanks to the honored guests who have come to this party today...” Everyone was silent. They were all listening to him. “...The last performance will be the grand reveal of the new dresses from the anonymous master’s shop. The auction will begin after this final show.”

As soon as the announcement ended, the curtains around the venue were pulled shut. Moonlight was hidden away as lamps were put out. Darkness crept in and took its place in the party. Guests were puzzled by the sudden darkness. Everyone was on guard, fearing a sudden attack or trouble. They left in uneasiness for not too long before the same man declared that this was a part of the show as well, and then calmness slowly resumed.

Not one ke had passed before their eyes adjusted to the darkness and noticed that something had appeared in the middle of the stage. It was a raised floor that was not too wide but also stretched from the stage to the furthest seat.
