For a moment, the entire courtyard became quiet.
The priest paused in the middle of the ceremony while holding the ritual book in his hands. Many of the guests slowly turned their heads toward Garet and the two nobles standing behind him.
Some nobles exchanged knowing looks with faint smiles. Others leaned slightly forward in their seats because they did not want to miss what was about to happen.
Everyone could feel that trouble had arrived.
Amber's fingers tightened slightly around Ethan's hand.Her eyes immediately turned sharp as she stared at Garet.
"They came here to cause trouble," she whispered quietly under her breath.
Ethan heard her clearly, but he did not react outwardly.
Instead, he remained calm and relaxed.
Garet stood there with a faint smile on his face while Hamel and Pentos remained slightly behind him. The three of them looked completely relaxed, but the intention behind their words was obvious to everyone present.
