The onlookers stood frozen, their breath caught, as Yoon Seoyul gracefully took the offered hand. Aera, unimpressed, leaned back into her seat with a sigh as Seoyul descended from the carriage with Cheon Areum's steady support—each step he took down the narrow carriage stairs deliberate and elegant, like a princess making her grand entrance.
"It's a banquet..."
Cheon Areum murmured, locking eyes with Yoon Seoyul, a faint smile forming on his lips. But before he could continue, Inho cut in, striding up with the glowing map in hand.
"Master, all of the monsters—including the boss—are gathered in the ballroom."
He tapped the map meaningfully.
"Should we just raze it down like we usually do?"
"It's a banquet."
He repeated softly, a grin tugging at the corners of his lips. Cheon Areum blinked once, picking up from where he left, eyes glittering playfully with excitement, looking up at Yoon Seoyul.
"Let's dance."
"You want to join them?"
