At nighttime, the whole castle lit up in the skyline of Angora City. It seemed that the Duke pulled out all the stops and employed several wizards to create light fixtures all over the castle. It was a magical evening for the citizens, but a normal and quite a substandard view for the Rebornians.
The drawbridge was opened the whole night for its guests to enter with their gold-laced carriages and magnificent horses.
Each one that entered the castle garnered a few gasps of surprise from the curious citizens gathered near the castle walls.
"Who do you think got invited to this ball?" one of the spectators asked.
"It's probably those Wizards from the tower and the Knights from the Court."
"Look at that emblem," he said as a carriage crossed the drawbridge. "They're the Shieldcoast Guild! I guess all that adventuring paid off since they can afford such a large carriage."
"How about the Nutriboom company? Their carriage is filled with gem leaves all around it."
