Chapter 2195 Glamour
Emery entered the grand reception venue carrying five invitations. one exclusively for Magus Rosia as a council candidate, two for the Terra faction, and the other two from the Zodiac faction. This allowed him to bring along Grand Magus Shena, Grand Magus Lilith, and Morgana, creating an eye-catching entourage.
The combination of their elegant appearances and formidable auras commanded attention. Magus Rosia's dignified presence, Shena's dragon-blooded allure, Lilith's fierce beauty, and Morgana's mysterious charm formed an impressive entourage that left a lasting impression on everyone they passed.
Walking side by side with the four stunningly beautiful women, Emery's entrance caused a significant stir. Heads turned, and whispers and murmurs rippled through the grand ballroom. The guests, a mix of noble families, influential magus, and elite figures, couldn't help but take notice of the group.
Shena leaned closer to Emery and asked, "What do you want to do first?"
Using his spirit reading, Emery could easily locate Tessa among the 5,000-plus attendees. However, he knew it would be unwise to approach her directly amidst such a crowd. Their primary objective tonight was to socialize and expand their network among the Golden City elites.
"Let's mingle," Emery replied, a confident smile on his face.
To make the most of their time, they decided to split into two groups as planned. Magus Rosia would greet the faction nobles that the Terra faction had maintained relations with since the time of the great Izta. Her decision to run for the council had raised many questions, especially given Terra City's current crisis. Rosia's words of assurance were crucial, and her credibility would be significantly bolstered by the presence of Zodiac City's top Grand Magus, Lilith, the Dark Salamander.
"I will follow, but don't expect me to speak!" Lilith said with a cold gaze, honoring Emery's request.
Emery sensed through their bond that Morgana was both amazed and slightly curious about the unfolding scene. It was a side of her he rarely saw, and it surprised him. Driven by a spontaneous impulse, he grabbed her hand and led her into the dancing crowd.
"What are you doing?" Morgana asked, her usual fearless demeanor giving way to a rare moment of anxiety.
The truth was, Emery was just as anxious. His only experience with dancing came from a few basic lessons in his Brittania youth, and he had no knowledge of the intricate dances performed at such grand events. However, he stayed calm and smiled reassuringly at her.
"Just follow my lead," he said, his voice steady despite his own nerves.
Such words crumbled Morgana's anxiety, as they carried a reassurance that went beyond the authority of an Alpha. Emery gently pulled her close, placing one hand on her waist, and they began to join the dance.
The dance floor was a swirl of color and movement, with couples gliding gracefully across the space. The music, a lively and melodic tune, seemed to guide their steps.
Emery's divine senses were sharp enough to mimic and follow all the movements of the seasoned dancers around them. However, it was their close bond that allowed Morgana to follow perfectly. Together, they became the couple that attracted the most attention, turning heads and garnering praise from all around.
Their effortless harmony and striking presence captivated the audience. Many of the nobles and esteemed guests couldn't help but watch them with admiration and intrigue. The grace with which they moved, combined with their undeniable chemistry, made them stand out even among the most polished dancers.
Among the onlookers were the renowned couples, Vinsier Croft and Victoria Qin. Victoria, in particular, started with a cold gaze, her initial disdain evident as she saw someone else take the spotlight.
