A strange sense of silence takes over the villa, only for it to die immediately as the first wave of guests start pouring into the villa.
The first ones to come are decently rich people or people with small political positions in the city, people who don't have much influence but are still better off than most people in the city.
None of these people got a personal invitation from Aya, but they came anyway because it would be very stupid of them not to come.
This it the funeral of Hakor, a very rich and powerful man in the city. Even though he had no important political position in the Queen's court, he had connections with them because of his wealth.
And his death means these powerful men will be in the villa today, attending his funeral. This is the best time for these low-level politicians and merchants to build connections.
They are greeted by the servers of the Villa, since they are not so important, Hau nor Aya needs to greet them.
