The night was deep, and Marshal Aber's manor was brightly lit, with melodious court music echoing in the banquet hall adorned with crystal chandeliers.
Silver cutlery and wine glasses shimmered in the candlelight, and the elegantly dressed guests gathered in small groups, conversing in hushed tones, occasionally breaking into laughter.
As the protagonist of tonight's coming-of-age ceremony, Arthur Aber, Marshal Laco Aber's youngest son, was undoubtedly the focus of attention.
This young knight not only inherited his father's height, handsomeness, and bravery but also won the recent knightly tournament, earning the cheers and applause of all the city's citizens, and was bestowed by Prince Colin as the "Chief Knight" of the Holy Temple Knight Order!
Although this honor was somewhat in consideration of his father's face, which of the gentlemen and ladies present hasn't benefited from their parent's care?
