About
The annual Foundation Festival was the largest celebration and social gathering in Ardenia.
While there were many imperial banquets and social parties of various sizes, the Foundation Festival was undeniably the most magnificent, serving as one of the few occasions where all the empire's heavyweights gathered in one place.
Thus, Guest was also scheduled to attend today, and since every year brought something different even to a recurring event, it was impossible not to look forward to it.
Young ladies making their debut, young lords entering high society, celebrities and power players, budding romances blooming here and there, and hidden calculations running behind the scenes—and Guest, about to step into this massive game.
Under the beautiful night sky of Ardenia, the glamorous Foundation Festival awaited everyone.
