"Congratulations on getting the King as your sponsor!" Bekky said loudly, practically bouncing in place as she pointed directly at Hajin. "I mean, I knew you were the guy who saved her, but the King actually claiming you in front of the entire court? That is literally insane!"
Didi grabbed Bekky's arm and pulled her back a step, her face turning slightly red. "Bekky, please calm down. You are drawing way too much attention to us."
Bekky just laughed, completely ignoring the strange looks they were getting from the nearby nobles.
"Who cares what these stiff old people think? This party is so incredibly boring anyway. We should just slip out the back doors right now and go find some real fun out in the lower districts!"
Didi looked completely mortified by the suggestion. Sneaking out of her own father's royal banquet to party in the city streets was actual insanity, especially with all the Great Families watching them.
