A ball was hosted by the royal family to celebrate Princess Amera’s birthday.

Duke Elias of the Valtarian duchy to the south sat in the corner of the ballroom. Dressed in a black and red suit, he had a golden plaque placed on the left side of his chest.

His face shone in the warm chandelier’s light. Elias had a sly smirk on his face as he glanced around the room.
