After the three social dances were over, the banquet entered a more relaxed phase.
Some gentlemen took the handkerchiefs left by the ladies they had danced with and started their amorous adventures for the night according to the contact information on them.

William Mark held a thick cigar in his hand, introducing it to the guests.

Chris Toya — a priest of the Holy Spirit Religion.
Derek.Hannibal — a well-known surgeon.

Aaron smiled, casting a glance at Chris Toya and Derek Hannibal.
