The evening sun came quite soon. Damon found himself dressed for a noble gathering… except he wasn't wearing some expensive, lavish clothes.
On the contrary, he found himself wearing armor.
With the war games only days away it was a given that a lot of people would be wearing armor, eager to show off their battle attires, each more ostentatious than practical, especially for the nobility who thought everything was just an opportunity to show off wealth and prestige.
However, Damon would have preferred to wear anything but armor… but he had to match his company.
Matia was refusing to wear a dress. Or rather, she didn't want to take off her Ascendant Armor.
The best Damon could do was convince her to use the awakened shell form of her armor, which was actually a light outfit that looked regal, made of shining fabric and small metal plates to protect her vitals.
She opted not to use her helm, seeing how Damon was already at his wits' end with her.
