Given that the extravagant ball would only be attended by influential figures, with the main focus on the eighth factions, who had made it to the quarterfinals of the tournament, it was bound to be an unprecedented spectacle.
Beneath the reassuring crown of the golden tree, the stars began to gather.
Unsurprisingly, King Arthur, leader of the Golden Vanguard, King Zaiden, leader of the Immortal Legion, King Mateo, King Owen, Queen Esmeralda, and even Queen Seer, despite not being the leader of a faction, were present.
The hardworking members of their factions… Transcendent, Absolute, and even Supreme Lords were gathered under one roof.
Usually, their relationships weren't all rosy, but today they did their best to hide their hostile gazes, all assembled under the command of the mightiest of all… the Emperor.
The ceremonial had only started a few minutes ago, yet there were already hundreds of soldiers gathered, with more pouring out of the grand entrance every second.
