The House Vandran had thrown a large banquet, inviting high-ranking nobles and influential families across the empire. It had been a while since the Marquess of the said house threw a banquet, and hence, many had accepted it to congratulate Dexter and Aries.
It was amazing, at least, for Aries, things were amusing. Just several days ago before the news about the emperor's search for a wife, Aries's name was involved in a controversy about being cursed.
But now, after everyone heard about Aries's disposition, everyone was sending her felicities. Even when she was late for her own banquet, joyful smiles, the great atmosphere, and the carefully selected words to get on her good side surrounded her.
In turn, Aries also kept her enchanting demure. Her lips, although slight, were cemented into a subtle smile. She had been exchanging flatteries with the guests while the orchestra was playing a lovely tune in the background.
