The atmosphere in the Atilad Hall was as bright as spring, not at all like the dead of winter. The hall's massive pillars were wrapped in verdant vines, as if an entire eastern forest had been transplanted indoors. The vines climbed and cascaded, creating a lush, green ceiling. Unlike the midnight balls, this welcome ceremony, which began before dusk, had the tall windows of the party hall wide open, allowing the setting sun to flood the lower levels. Scattered throughout the hall were summer roses that looked so fresh and vibrant they seemed real, but they were in fact the finest silk. Even those who touched the flowers were fooled by the lifelike scent and didn't realize they were artificial until they tried to pluck a petal.
The most special area was where the Emperor and Empress, along with the Crown Prince and his consort, were seated, and where the guest of honor, the Ninth Prince Epero and Prince Victor of Elacon, had briefly sat. The red roses adorning the armrests of the chairs there shone particularly brightly. As soon as they entered the party hall, Empress Grace and Crown Princess Doris felt as if they were walking on air. As they wandered around, they gasped when they saw the shimmering roses.
"Goodness, are those roses made of rubies?"
