Party(2) Giving off a similar aura like at the round table. I look down at him as though I could tear his throat out at any moment. But this wasn’t the community that merely connected our minds. Right now, we were here in the flesh, which is more than enough. I continued to glare down … Read more
Party(1) The banquet held inside the Hall of Glory proceeded in a very quiet atmosphere. Well, that was only natural. Every single attendee here was the head of a noble family.
