A lady dressed in an elegant pink-and-black gown walked out through the arena entrance, with the Golden Matching Order Band following behind her.
The moment she appeared, several spectators who had been talking among themselves turned their heads toward the entrance. A few recognized the familiar figure at once, while others needed only a brief look at her face before realizing who had arrived.
The lady was Edith Evermont.
Her gown moved gently with each step, and the pink fabric caught the light whenever she passed beneath one of the lamps illuminating the arena. The black sections of her dress gave the outfit a neat balance, while her posture remained graceful as she walked toward the center of the arena.
