Ethan's invitations have increased again over the past few days.
The reason doesn't take much thought—it's just the climate of the Royal Capital.
All the warmth and coldness are in people's hearts.
This time, he is far more careful in his selection than before.
Previously, he had no stance, and could attend anyone's banquet without issue.
Now, however, he must exclude those inclined towards the Eldest Prince.
And among the remaining people, choose those who are safe enough to meet.
Apart from this portion of the Royal Capital's nobility, some people are from outside the Royal Capital.
For instance, there is the southern farm owner Wes Costner, who has attended Ethan's auctions twice and clearly wants some private interaction with Ethan.
This guy is considered unlucky; both auctions have had incidents.
First was the Wenster heavy rain incident, and this time it was Johnny Blackbird's assassination of the Eldest Prince.
