The huge banquet hall was adorned in soft pastels and golden accents in honor of the Polaris family's double joy: the birth of their youngest daughter, Aria Nyx Polaris, and their son, Terim Polaris' promotion to lieutenant rank.
Joyful chatter was echoing against the high ceilings when Ren walked into the crowded hall alongside Kade.

Ren, however, caught most of the attention with both his face and due to the fact that the Marshal was helping him sort the silver chain adoring his flowing hair.
He felt the curious gazes of nobles and officers falling on them. "You are attracting so much attention," he whispered in Kade's ears. "Why do you have to look so good in your uniform?"
A frown settled on Ren's forehead and that only made Kade smile, "Are you by any chance... jealous?"
