The night grew darker, as the banquet came to an end, the satisfied guests boarded luxurious carriages and gradually left the manor.
However, some did not leave.
Take for instance the esteemed Regent King.
In the study room of Valencia Manor, Granville Pot sat in an armchair by the window, playing with a golden pocket watch inlaid with diamonds.
It was a gift from Prince Colin.
It is said that in the distant Gutaf United Kingdom, diamonds symbolize unbreakable friendship. He examined it closely; this thing sure is quite hard.
There are diamond mines on Aus Continent too, but the diamonds produced are not as large as this one.
Albert Valencia stood beside him, quietly gazing at the brightly lit Holy City in the distance and the carriages leaving the manor under the glow of the lights.
Especially the carriage emblazoned with the golden rose and scripture, his eyes never left it, watching it disappear beyond his field of vision.
