Evening quickly arrived, and the atmosphere within the Gentle Hotel was electric. Everyone was excited at the thought of meeting people from other Empires.
Those who were not students of the Star Academy were equally excited. After all, they too were attending the gala, and since the entire Gentle Hotel was dedicated to the people of the Zarethorne Empire, the hotel was somewhat noisy as everyone simply tried to look their very best.
Women were getting ready, applying their makeup and arranging their dresses. Everyone wanted to look better than the next person. After all, in a place like this, rivals would be formed, lovers would meet, and even archenemies would cross paths.
Asher, who was already prepared by 6:30 PM, simply walked toward Finch's room. Since they had gathered there earlier that day, he headed there, certain that the others would arrive there as well. Upon entering, William was already present. He and Finch had already finished dressing and were simply waiting.
