Northern Nobles

The northern nobles that stood around turned their heads towards the main entrance and caught sight of Adam and Elizabeth.

The males and females admired the clothing that they wore which were neat like those from the central lands but were paired with a light coat.

The coat of Elizabeth was smaller and went around her shoulders while the coat on Adam was styled more like a smart jacket or blazer.

They did not wear excessive amounts of leather or fur like the others so it was enough to let them mix the two styles and materials used from both places without it looking out of place.

A young lady of a noble family remarked. "I want the coat that she is wearing."

A discussion started among the noble ladies and men until Adam and Elizabeth entered and stepped further into the hall to join everyone.

There were some shocked eyes that watched them from the side which came from the nobles that had been joking among themselves and seemed to be involved in the plot against the Bombyx family.

"How are they here?"

"It seems they are more capable than we imagined."

"They seem to be unharmed."

"Bah.. they must have sacrificed some of their people to get here."

"Mm.. you could be right."

"If that is the case then they will be lacking in power."

"They will have a difficult time surviving here."

They each had a gloating look in their eyes as they gazed towards Elizabeth and Adam almost like they understood the situation well and saw the downfall of the Bombyx family.

Others made other remarks that were not that pleasant to hear.

They were like hungry wolves eyeing their prey and looking for weaknesses.

"Hm.. the woman is beautiful even if she lacks the toughness of our women. I think she would look better by my side rather than that weak man."

"There was supposed to be a coming of age for their daughter?"

"Maybe she may be just as beautiful?"

"They are a long way away from home."

"Anything could happen."

It did not take too long for the next announcement to come. "The eldest daughter of the Bombyx family, Ki Bombyx has entered!"

Ki stepped into the room and each movement was gentle and graceful while each of her movements attracted the attention of the room.

The Gu mark under her eye, her high vitality from practicing her qi art to the peak of the transcendent realm, washing her marrow and bones, her natural beauty inherited from her mother and the teachings she had underwent had only helped to enhance her charm to let her capture the hearts of many.

Ki wore a light see through veil to cover the lower half of her face but it was enough for her to draw the attention of many and make them wish to see her appearance.

If Ki had been revealed to the world a little earlier then she would have had marriage proposals from many families that were not just for political or business reasons.

She was followed by two others that were wearing veils as they entered a little later, they moved to a part of the room where they sat down.

A well built muscular man with white hair and icy blue eyes watched as they stepped put into the open and nudged someone by his side. "That girl is mine. It is no use fighting with me for her. Hahaha."

"Hm? She seems to be walking towards the instruments?"

"What is she going to play?"

"Something gentle and boring like those central landers?"

"She chose the wrong instruments for that."

The three young ladies sat by each of their instruments and began to play but it was very out of everyone's expectations.

It was not a soft melody or was a poetic song that followed and was instead heavier or more heroic.

It was a song that they were all too familiar with and the drums and the flute being played alongside it let everyone appreciate the performance that came together perfectly with the bow being pushed against the strings.

The voice of Ki began to be added to the music and it was very unlike her gentle appearance, many were beginning to be immersed in the heroic atmosphere created by a song of war and battle.

Those that had their poor views or plans against the Bombyx family had been immersed in the music and reminiscing feelings that were brought up within them that let them recall their glory days.

The teachings that Ki had been through had been very beneficial to her use of the bowed lyre.

The low, deep and dark noises created from each movement of her bow were perfectly suited to the type of music the northerners were familiar with and there was enough room for songs from her own culture to be played with the accompaniment of Rayleigh and Lumi.

The atmosphere where many had looked down upon the Bombyx family had changed all of a sudden and there were some among the northerners that had warmed up to the idea of making contact with the Bombyx family who had shown some knowledge of their culture and showed respect towards it.

Everyone was stood around eating and drinking while enjoying the performance even if they previously had bad intentions towards the Bombyx family but that did not mean others would not be disrespectful once the performance ended.
