[hr]
A hush of silk and whispered gasps followed in their wake as Duke Gideon Edwards and Duchess Victoria Edwards swept into the glittering banquet hall.

Gideon was the picture of dignified restraint, dressed in a deep maroon coat with subtle gold embroidery at the cuffs and collar, his stride confident and calm. With practiced ease, he approached the dais and offered a graceful bow first to King Edin, then Queen Alibeth.

[color=Burlywood]“Your Majesties,”[/color] he greeted with smooth reverence, [color=Burlywood]“What an honor to attend this magnificent evening. ”[/color] Though brief, his words carried warmth and diplomacy. He straightened and offered Prince Wulfric a courteous nod, his eyes lingering a moment longer on Queen Alibeth, always more attuned to her quiet scrutiny than Edin’s theatrical indulgence.

Behind him, the atmosphere shifted entirely.

Duchess Victoria Edwards arrived like a storm cloaked in opulence—her gown a sweeping cascade of crimson and gold, layered with embroidered tulle and shimmering stones that caught the chandelier light like a sea of stars. A fan of gilded lace snapped open in her manicured hand.

She did not bow.

[color=F0E399]“Your Majesties,”[/color] she purred instead, eyes sweeping over the room, taking in each lesser noble with barely concealed boredom. [color=F0E399]“What a vision this room is tonight. So many familiar faces... ”[/color] With Gideon’s quiet sigh beside her, the two turned toward their assigned seats.

Duke Gideon took his place at the head of the leftmost noble table, his seat exuding authority without the need for decoration. Victoria claimed the place beside him with a flourish, her skirts fanning dramatically as she sat, her fan twitching before her lips as she began eyeing the arrivals with critical delight.

Their children were expected to follow suit behind them, especially by their mother.
