Capítulo 240: Toast and Flirts

The grand banquet began in earnest, and the palace was alive with the vibrant hum of music, laughter, and mingling dignitaries. The grand hall glimmered under the warm glow of chandeliers, its golden arches reflecting the splendor of the evening.

Nobles from across Arcanoria and beyond conversed, their words laced with charm and hidden agendas, while servants moved deftly among the crowd, ensuring no glass was empty and no guest unattended.
