Stealing the show

The welcoming banquet was held at the mayor's spacious residence. It was fixed in a rush but still it oozed extravagance showing how important the visitor was. People were talking with each other with smiles plastered on their faces.

It was a typical show of how money and power talks. The backyard that was decorated with lights powered by mana slowly brought brightness to the place as the night slowly came.

The ballroom was also filled with people as they enjoyed the music being played by an orchestra that was especially hired for the night. Some of them were even enjoying the attention of all the gentlemen who were looking for dance partners. These people were really having a merry time despite the danger they were faced because of the kidnappings.

The hero who was being praised and fawned upon was currently sitting inside a room provided to him by the mayor. He was wearing a smile while speaking with the leader of the town and with Major Ginehart.
