Dancing with devil

A grand ball was to be held at the palace to celebrate Edric's upcoming war campaign.

The grand ball is a spectacular event, designed to showcase the kingdom's wealth and power as it prepares for war. It was held in the palace's grand ballroom. The event was held with every detail carefully crafted to impress and intimidate.

The ballroom has been transformed into dazzling spectacles, with rows of candelabras and chandeliers casting a warm, golden glow over the people in the hall. The walls were adorned with intricate tapestries depicting scenes of battles and conquest, while the floor was polished to a high shine, reflecting the light and adding to the sense of grandeur.

The room was filled with the sweet scent of flowers, carefully arranged to create a sense of elegance. The air was thick with the sound of music, from a live orchestra playing a selection of classical pieces and patriotic anthems.
