Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

After three rounds of toasts, Adrian and the apprentices from the Pathfinders Guild stood up to offer their own. It wasn't just Adrian whom people were impressed by-even if only Kyle were present, their presence commanded respect. When they came to make toasts, even the prime minister stood up to reciprocate.

Trevor was the one who had initially secured this marriage, so Adrian toasted him. Adrian drank the entire cup, while Trevor only took a small sip, which was enough to show his respect as the royal chancellor. Also, considering his health, excessive drinking wouldn't be advisable.

Carissa's eyes reddened as she watched the Pathfinders Guild members rise to make toasts.

Though such customs were not typically observed in high-society marriages, they were martial artists. Who would dare to challenge their traditions?

Moreover, Adrian came from a noble background, and Kyle was also present.

Who would refuse them?

Who would dare criticize their actions?

As for Eleanor and Jessica, their expressions were dark throughout the event. Even when they weren't frowning, their demeanors were cold and sarcastic.
