A Party Crasher

Abaddon had a very good life. With few things that he hated or just didn't like.

But no matter the instance or occasion, high society functions somehow always made it onto that list.

Currently, the royal family was hosting a banquet for the abyss' top educators.

Since it was the end of a successful school year, Malenia urged her brother to play host to this event.

It was a way to thank some very dedicated teachers who had given their all to push and support their students.

But even though it was for a very good cause and Abaddon was happy to do it, he remained out of place at an event like this.

Not only was he nearly nine feet-tall now, but he was the star everyone seemed to want to converse with. But inside he was just the man who just wanted to sit in the corner and drink.

Which is sort of a bad look for a ruler to have.

The bright side was that he was not the only one who was feeling quite so awkward.
