After the announcement that Haku made, there was nothing left to do at this banquet other than to socialize with the other nobles.
With Haku's position as the empress, it was only natural that she was popular.
The one that was the second most popular was naturally Rokuko who had been introduced as the princess of the Laver Empire.
The way that Haku had treated her had been seen by everyone, so they all knew just how important Rokuko was. If they wanted to rise up in position, it was only natural that they would want to get closer to her.
However, there was someone that was blocking their way.
"Princess, may we have a moment of your time?"
"Princess, I have this lovely vintage that I brought with me from my territory. Will you please give it a try?"
"Princess, I have this diamond necklace that was mined from the diamond mines of my territory that I wish to offer to you. Will you do me the honour of accepting this?"
Though they all tried their best, none of them succeeded.
