The next morning came. Adeline's schedule was occupied with castle duties, dress-fitting, and soon, nightfall quickly approached, and the banquet had begun. 

The banquet was the celebration of the month. Well-known businessmen and women were invited from all across the world, politicians from every corner of the continent, and only the most elite of celebrities were considered.
