The Great Priest of Elzager soon stood before the audience, and he took his stand on the stage of the ballroom, the position where the traditional rites of the engagement were soon going to take place.
He stood there with Elvis and Cordelia, while the rest of the audience stood, watching them and muttering amongst themselves.
Queen Lea was standing beside King Edward, and she couldn't help but look around from time to time. "I wonder where Lysander is."
King Edward also looked around. "Didn't you remind him to be here on time?"
"I did. But I don't know where he might be now," she expressed.
"I hope he's not causing any troubles or whatsoever. I wouldn't need any of that today. All I want is a smooth engagement ceremony and nothing more. Any mess will not go unpunished."
"Don't worry," Queen Lea assured. "He won't make any mess."
She still looked around for some time. And not long after, the door to the banquet hall was opened again.
