Lucen's talk with Elion and Elena lasted longer than he expected. The afternoon sky was now gone, replaced with a beautiful starry sky.
It was during this time that Lucen noticed the Vermont Family alongside Marquess Halbrecht waiting just outside the balcony. He could already guess what they wanted to say.
'I might get something out of this.' Lucen thought to himself. With a final polite farewell to the two royals, he stepped back into the ballroom.
The very second Lucen stepped back into the ballroom, the Vermont Family came to him. Seeing this, Harlik and Mark came close and stood behind Lucen with Thornehart and Thornefang banners in their hands.
Even Robert came near as he felt like something might happen. Vardon, who was talking with the other Dukes and Sir Thalos standing behind him, simply looked at a corner of the ballroom.
