Chapter 70
The celebratory banquet was grand, starting with the venue itself. It was held in the Imperial Banquet Hall, located at the heart of the upper district in the capital, Akbaran. Naturally, not just anyone could rent the Imperial Banquet Hall.
It was a choice that reflected the prestige of the current Commander of the Imperial Guard, Hemillas, and the long-standing reputation of the Custoria family.
Like being swept away by the tide, I moved according to my family’s instructions. Since I was the protagonist of the event, I had to be mindful of my attire and familiarize myself with numerous details in advance.
"Luka, you’ve memorized the names of all the officials and officers attending, right?"
Giselle spoke. I nodded.
"No problem."
Throughout the banquet preparations, Giselle assisted me as if acting as my aide.
Imperial attire was generally practical, but banquet attire was a hassle to wear. There was even a set order for putting it on.
"And the brooch should be placed more to the left. No, I’ll do it myself."
Giselle stepped closer and meticulously adjusted my outfit. As I looked down at her, our eyes met.
We held each other’s gaze for a moment.
