125 — Annual Royal Banquet (1)

Lucian swung the golden carriage's door open and extended his hand to Cynthia with a faint smile.

Hesitantly, she placed her hand in his and stepped out of the carriage.

Before her, a long staircase was lined with a few soldiers guarding the entrance, while the door was decorated with beautiful flowers. Despite the darkness of the night, the flowers shone, an obvious spell having been cast on them to do so.

Lucian handed over the invitation card to the guards, who announced their arrival before opening the large door.

The crowd was too busy to pay attention to them. However, when someone caught sight of the couple, murmurs spread quickly.

Two servants stepped forward to remove the thick layers of coats from the pair.
