Bab 100: THE GRAND BANQUET

As the tension from the earlier scene dissipated, Lord Grey gestured for Morris, Kaelen, and Ethan to follow him. With a smooth stride, he led them down the grand hallway toward the heart of the Grey family estate, where the evening's true festivities were being held. The sounds of laughter, clinking glasses, and music grew louder as they approached the large double doors leading to the ballroom.

"This evening, you'll have the chance to meet some of Eldoria's finest," Lord Grey said, glancing back at the boys. "Many of them are internal students at Pacesetters Academy, ranking from apprentices to the adept. Learn what you can from them."

The massive doors swung open, revealing a lavish ballroom filled with students and dignitaries alike. Chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting a warm, golden glow over the room. On one side, tables were laden with exquisite food and drinks, while the rest of the space was dedicated to groups mingling and exchanging stories.
