Torches lit up the castle that night as music played within its main hall.
Ethan and Wallace sat in the seats of honor on an elevated platform, alongside Emma and the Heads of the Four Protector Clans.
The Elves were skillfully playing their instruments as the performers displayed their skills in order to entertain their Young Lord, who had finally returned home after many years.
Each table was filled with delicious food. Everyone made merry and toasted for Ethan’s good health and happiness.
When the performance ended, Ethan applauded the entertainers, making them feel that their hard work was worth it.
A few minutes later, the Elves once again plucked the strings of their instruments as the dancing officially began.
Ethan stood up and asked Emma if she wanted to dance with him.
His Promised One was dressed beautifully for the occasion. The ladies sighed in envy, wishing that they were in her shoes.
