章 314: Celebrating Independence

Not long after the vote and swearing-in ceremony, every member of the Corvus Republic was invited to celebrate at the Grand Ballroom located in the Palace itself. There, they found themselves in a vast entertainment hall filled with activity and reverie and joyful celebration.

The entire middle had been cleared open, which allowed groups of councilors and politicians and representatives to rub elbows with the newly-formed nation-state. It was in their best interest to introduce themselves early, especially if they had need of the Republic’s skills.

Many lingered around the edges of the room, where numerous decorated tables with a slew of delicious hors d'oeuvres stood. All were chatting and mingling and debating with each other, all while also enjoying the food and drink that the de Jardins provided.
