[Banquet]
Even this far into the night, the banquet showed no real indication of ending. If anything, it seemed to have taken on a life of its own. The number of guests lingering throughout the estate appeared to increase rather than diminish, with nobles drifting between floors, servants constantly moving between rooms, and conversations continuing as though the lateness of the hour meant very little.
Paimon still struggled to take it all in.
She walked besides Iphigenia along the third floor, her blue eyes occasionally wandering across the lavish corridor before returning to the princess. There were considerably fewer people on this floor than there had been below, but there were still enough that Paimon could feel their attention following them.
Some merely glanced.
Others stared openly.
A few seemed particularly interested in the unfamiliar red hood and the young woman walking besides a princess.
