The guests attending the Red Palace banquet actually included an envoy from the New Moon Kingdom, which was something Charlotte never expected.
Not only that, but this envoy was also an acquaintance of Charlotte.
"Moon Guardian Duke—John de Anlo..."
Charlotte read the name off the list.
The Moon Guardian Duke was an old acquaintance of Charlotte's, having warmly welcomed her to Castel when she first inherited her territory.
After winning the war for Castel's independence from Bold Castel, the Moon Guardian Duke even took the initiative to host salons and introduce Charlotte to the lords of various kingdoms.
Charlotte was able to quickly integrate into the high society of the New Moon Kingdom's nobility, and the Castel Domain was able to establish stable channels for extraordinary trade with the lords of the major kingdoms, largely thanks to the tremendous effort of the Moon Guardian Duke.
Charlotte always had a rather good impression of this loyal royalist noble.
