Melody Thorne walked into her venue like a queen entering her domain, finding her designated seat and sitting down.
The entire banquet seemed to be waiting for her. Now that she was here, the event could begin.
The host took the stage. "Today, everything at the banquet is sponsored by the Golden Eagle program's sponsors. I imagine everyone knows the program's purpose: the program has begun selecting representative goddesses, and everything has gone smoothly until now. Originally, tonight was meant to be a pleasant evening banquet, but a major incident has occurred in the entertainment industry—an artist from a company not only used drugs but also committed murder. So, the organizers have decided today is a public trial, demanding that the actor who protected his artist withdraw from showbiz and apologize to the public."
A round of enthusiastic applause erupted from below, including Melody Thorne and Nina King, both clapping vigorously.
The host's face had already turned dark.
