Chapter 14 - 13 - Coming of Age Ceremony
As Lev walked down the hallway earlier, he glanced out the window and noticed the sun was already high in the sky. On the road leading to the mansion, many carriages were neatly lined up, indicating that a large number of guests had already arrived.
And sure enough, inside the banquet hall, people had already gathered.
The banquet hall had a high, arched ceiling with a large crystal chandelier hanging in the center, adorned with war paintings. Massive marble pillars lined the sides of the hall, while shields and swords were displayed on the walls as if Andrei wanted to tell everyone that the Razanov family was strong and honorable.
'As if this family is truly powerful.'
In terms of the number of soldiers and private knights, it was indeed impressive. However, in terms of history and heritage, the Razanov family didn't live up to the image portrayed by the banquet hall's decorations. Especially when it came to inherited spells and swordsmanship, all of that had vanished without a trace under Andrei's leadership.
'At least, that's what the common people think. There are still some secret legacies I need to obtain later.'
For now, Lev was more focused on completing the Coming of Age Ceremony.
Some guests stood in small groups, speaking in low voices while holding sparkling glasses of wine.
In the corners of the hall, servants dressed in elegant uniforms moved quickly, carrying trays of food and drinks. Daria, seeing the busy servants, immediately joined in to help.
Perhaps because they were so busy, no one made any mocking remarks toward Daria.
The first thing Daria did was eat a piece of cake before being pulled away by another servant to help.
