Although the party had yet to begin, the main hall was already bustling with nobles, both young and old.
Heads of noble families—ranging from Barons to Viscounts—had gathered and were chatting casually, while Counts and Marquises formed their own exclusive circles.
The younger generation of noble families also clustered into their own groups. Some had known each other for years, while others were only now exchanging introductions and polite conversation.
On the right side of the hall, a group of young ladies surrounded a stunning blonde woman who clearly held the spotlight.
She wore a flowing golden gown that draped elegantly over the carpet. The collar was slightly loose, subtly revealing a hint of fair, alluring cleavage.
Her blonde hair was styled in a high crown braid, enhancing the aura of dominance and pride that surrounded her.
A faint smirk tugged at the corner of her lips as she listened to the compliments and idle chatter of the girls around her.
