At that moment, the usher who had come to escort Cora didn't even need to say a word. The elegance of the chair she was being led to spoke volumes all on its own.

The chair itself was a statement piece, upholstered in royal cream velvet, polished gold trimmings framing the backrest, and a subtle emblem of Everything Luxury carved into its wooden arms. It wasn't just a seat it was a throne. And the fact that Cora was the one settling into it made the entire hall shift in atmosphere.
The whispers began almost immediately.
"She's sitting there?"
"That's the seat reserved for the Diamond Card guest."
"Wait… she's really the one?"
