At the section where the Duke of Galehart stood…
"I will take the last Dance Core."
Duchess Mira Galehart spoke calmly, her gaze resting on her husband.
"Why would I let you take that Core? You take the second, and I will take the last Dance Core."
The First Duchess of Galehart refused, making her own suggestion about how they should arrange their dances with their husband.
Neither Noblewoman appeared willing to give up her preferred position.
Around them, several Galehart Elders and High-board members found themselves in an awkward situation.
They had gathered for a formal party, not to witness two Duchesses negotiate over which of them would dance with their husband.
Yet here they were, standing close enough to hear every word.
Some of the Elders quietly looked away, pretending to be interested in something else.
Others maintained their usual expressions, though the situation left them with little to say.
