As Asher had said earlier, there was another gathering happening above them. Unlike the Royal Birthday Party two years ago, where the upper floor only accepted Nobles of the Zarethorne Empire and no one else, this current upper floor not only accepted Nobles, but also merchants of considerable financial power and influence, as well as other powerhouses, whether they were Nobles or not.
At this moment, Azaron and Malrik could be seen standing together with expressionless faces. They barely said any words to any other person present, which was rather normal for Azaron, since the man wasn't a lover of social events, as he would much rather be fighting or staying at the Ducal Estate, signing whatever papers his personal butler handed to him.
As for Malrik, while he was normally someone who talked and interacted with people, he only knew a few of those present at this moment.
