The mother and daughter stayed a while longer in the restroom, and only after touching up their makeup did they come out one after the other.
To attract attention, Autumn Stetford was the first to exit.
Ruby Sheldon lingered for a bit, reapplying her eye makeup before leaving the restroom.
By the time she came out, most people had finished their dinner, leaving Fortune Pavilion in small groups.
The ball tonight was held at the Moonlit Tower.
Moonlit Tower was built on the large lawn south of Fortune Pavilion, appearing from afar like a grand hall with a gilded rooftop.
Inside, however, it was entirely in Western decor.
The magnificent hall glowed with splendor, and the enormous chandelier hung high above, spanning two meters in diameter.
The polished mahogany floor gleamed like a mirror, and along the walls were rows of soft armchairs. Every few seats stood low tables, laden with fruits, drinks, and beer.
