"A bit late to make a grand entrance, Viscountess?" Viscount Felldan chuckled.
"I arrive when I am most needed, Viscount Felldan. There have been some delays, but it was not my intention to come last." The Viscountess said.
"Of course, of course. I only wish to lighten the mood." Viscount Felldan waved a hand. "I was merely catching up with Count Gabriel here, but it's also good to see that you have arrived. It wouldn't be the same without you here yet."
"You have my thanks. But my presence is not necessarily that important, the purpose of this banquet is to celebrate the victory of Count Gabriel against Viscount Drew." Countess Blackshield smiled politely before she inclined her head to Count Gabriel. "You have my warmest congratulations, Count Gabriel. It was a fierce battle, but you were able to turn the tides and make it your victory."
"Thank you, Viscountess." Count Gabriel said.
