At 4 PM, Lucksten, Luskgavl, and Lockhart were ready for the opening ceremony at the Royal Palace.
Lucksten donned a three-piece dark green tuxedo, featuring a jacket embellished with elaborate gold embroidery, including a striking gold appliqué near the chest that took the form of a stylized animal. The trousers and waistcoat were a matching dark green, creating a cohesive and elegant look.
Luskgavl chose a crisp white three-piece suit, consisting of a waistcoat, shirt, and trousers, complemented by a dark tie that provided a striking contrast. He layered his outfit with a longer overcoat in pale beige and cream tones, adding sophistication to his appearance.
Lockhart opted for a formal dark ensemble, including a dark-colored fedora, a long overcoat, a three-piece suit (comprising a jacket, waistcoat, and trousers), a light-colored shirt, and a dark tie, which all contributed to his polished demeanor.
As evening approached, all invited guests had arrived at the Royal Palace, dressed in formal attire. The seating arrangements were organized by rank and professional title, with Lucksten seated at table #1 as an Actor, among friends from the acting community. The tables were arranged to reflect a gendered layout: masculine guests on the left and feminine guests on the right.
Luskgavl occupied table #7, where he shared his presence with fellow writers, both in academia and literary pursuits, while Lockhart was seated at table #19, surrounded by models and fashion designers. The organizational leader and CEO were situated in the VIP area, reflecting their prominent roles.
As the grand doors of the palace closed, the opening ceremony commenced. The King and Queen approached the altar, and the King addressed the assembly through a microphone: "My faithful subjects and honored visitors, it is with immense pride that I announce the opening of Aurelian Enterprises Organization, a testament to our kingdom's ingenuity and a beacon of prosperity for our people. This endeavor, born from commitment and vision, promises growth and opportunity and is perfectly aligned with our kingdom's values, contributing significantly to our shared future. May its success bring honor and prosperity to us all."
With that, he raised his cup and took a drink, prompting a round of applause from the attendees. Following him, the Queen spoke: "My faithful subjects and noble guests, today marks a historic occasion as we inaugurate Aurelian Enterprises Organization, a venture rooted in genius and a commitment to progress. This enterprise, founded on the principles of innovation and community, holds the potential to enrich the lives of our people and strengthen our kingdom. I commend the vision and dedication of all who have made this possible, and I extend my full support as we embark on this exciting new chapter. May Aurelian Enterprises Organization thrive and bring success to everyone."
Once more, the audience erupted in applause.
After the speeches concluded, the King and Queen returned to their thrones as the speaker positioned himself beside them. "Thank you, Your Highness, for the opening ceremony. We will now announce the individuals selected for various positions."
As the speaker announced those chosen for entry-level roles, specialized positions, departmental management, and executive leadership, the crowd applauded in appreciation. Subsequently, a dance was organized to honor both men and women.
The tables were moved aside, allowing couples to take to the floor as the soft melodies of a piano filled the air, setting the stage for a delightful evening of celebration and camaraderie.
