Chapter 197: Meeting Room (1)
"Rise, Lynx Ombre. Never fall before your enemies and always do what you have done all your life," Atlas said suddenly, and as Lynx stood up, he handed him the armour.
Lynx, like the other two, took a relaxed stance and took a few steps back.
Atlas suddenly looked at the nobles around him and, without pausing for a second, said, "I apologise for interrupting the ball. I couldn’t think of a better time to bestow ranks upon my vassals. Please let us continue with our current activity, the musical dance."
With that, the announcement of the vassals had come to an end.
Now, a musical dance would follow, and then the most important part of the day for Atlas would begin: the presentations to the important nobles.
-----
Nearly three hours had passed. When night fell and the clock struck twelve, the ball had ended, and over a hundred and fifty nobles had left the massive Shadowfall Palace. Each of them had been sent to stay in the city’s most beautiful locations, places that could be considered grand castles, while a few remained in the palace.
These few individuals had been summoned to that meeting room by Emperor Aether at Atlas’s request.
The strange thing was that Atlas had encountered something he couldn’t even remember from his previous life. While in the ballroom, his eyes had searched for the Dwarf King, but instead, someone else had attended the ball under the title of King.
