The night of the opening ceremony, Grand Duke Ignis's mansion was filled with the sound of music.
Music that was quite different from what was heard in other regions, yet still familiar enough to allow people to sway to it.
The ballroom was enormous and warm, with volcanic crystal chandeliers overhead, showering everything in amber and deep red hues.
Every faction was present in said ballroom, with the Grand Dukes at their respective tables, the Royal family at the head, and the Church's Archbishop moving around with a warm smile on his face.
The headmistress, on the other hand, seemed to have befriended a maid who was endlessly bringing her, Isla, and Conan food.
Adrian, on the other hand, leaned on the balcony as he looked around the ballroom, silently taking note of all that was happening.
Renelle soon left their table and walked towards him, and his eyes were immediately pulled towards her the moment she stood up.
