It is the ball regularly held by the Valois Imperial Family. Everyone is dressed in custom-made gowns or formal suits to show themselves off. Brilliant ceiling lights illuminate the ballroom. Delicate melodies cut through the air, carrying the weight of people's conversations. Everyone is either meeting friends or stealing glances at the ones they adore.
And soon, the time comes. The time for the Emperor to appear. The mouths that were chattering and the music that filled the ballroom both come to a brief halt. The massive doors swing open. Cass walks out from the center. His white formal attire is accented by a deep purple cloak. A graceful smile hangs on his lips.
"Ah, dear me. Was I perhaps too punctual with my appointment?"
At the moment the doors opened, Cass caught a woman famous for her unrequited love trying to speak to the object of her affection. As he laughs mischievously, the woman bows her head. Her ears are bright red. She seems quite embarrassed. With Cass's appearance, the ball begins in earnest.
As soon as Cass descends, the crowd flocks toward him. They are all people who want to greet him. However, Garz was a bit different. He had captured everyone's attention from the moment he appeared, but for a different reason than Cass. Everyone was startled by his fierce impression and massive size, moving out of his way. Garz was simply leaning against the wall, not even holding a glass of wine.
...
Garz just wanted to return to his territory as soon as possible. He only attended because his position as a Grand Duke meant he couldn't ignore the Emperor's invitation. Garz observed the people from the wall with his arms crossed. Someone might ask if a Grand Duke should be standing against a wall like that, but... who would dare tell a Grand Duke to stop leaning on the wall and come out? Who could possibly claim to have that much intimacy with Garz?
