All the upper-class families of the town are gathered in a large hall. The design is intricate and luxurious, representing the wealth of the hosting family: the Blackwoods.

The Blackwoods are a wealthy family with respected statuses in society. They have a large area of land atop a hill and often host parties just like these.

Everyone is dressed in formal wear. The hall is a variety of suits and beautiful dresses. Champagne flutes and wine glasses are carried by waiters on steel trays, free for anyone to take.

Charles is stood in a suit, a glass of champagne in his hand. He has a charming smile on his face as he chats with fellow businessmen and upper-class men.

A few of the other men in the group are giving Charles looks of mild envy, clearly wishing they were in his shoes. The Blackwood name was one of prestige, one of power. Not to mention his good looks.
