The cafeteria of Abyssal Hall was nothing short of luxurious, with towering obsidian pillars, enchanted chandeliers dripping with ever-shifting colored lights, and rows of tables laden with decadent meals. Despite the grandeur, the air buzzed with the typical chaos of students jostling for their places and chatting animatedly.

Liria followed Enara, keeping a careful distance as the princess wove her way through the crowd.

"Is it always this loud?" Liria muttered.

[Observation: Excessive noise levels detected. Recommend noise-canceling spells.]

Enara turned her head slightly. "Stay close. The cafeteria is where the wolves come out to play."

"I can handle a few overly entitled kids," Liria said, though she stayed on high alert.
