Chapter 446 Ambermind

446 Ambermind

The twin moons cast a silvery glow over the posh district of Ravenfell known as Uptown Quarter.

On the eastern part of this district, a grand manor with an imposing structure of dark stones and elegant gothic spires stood proudly amidst the lush and verdant garden and winding cobblestoned paths.

Oil lampposts lined the driveway, their warm and flickering lights illuminating the arrival of the aristocracy of Ravenfell.

A procession of carriages, each more extravagant than the last, rolled up to the grand entrance of Ambermind Manor.

Footmen dressed in clean clothes hurried to open the doors, helping the distinguished guests to alight from the carriages.

The ladies wearing gowns of silk and velvet, adorned with intricate embroidery, stepped gracefully onto the gravel. The colors of their gowns were deep emerald, sapphire, and amethyst, shimmering under the lights of the lanterns.

Whereas the gentlemen wore doublets and jerkins underneath their fur mantles that proudly displayed the symbol of their noble houses. Their shoes were typically pointed and made from leather.

Moreover, they also wore a variety of headgear, including berets and round-brimmed hats adorned with feathers and jewels.

The fashion sense of the aristocrats in Ravenfell was influenced by the rich cultural environment. Due to the interest of the residents in art, literature, and philosophy, the importance of an individual was greatly emphasized.

This focus on individual expression was thus reflected in the elaborate and highly personalized clothing of the nobility.

The air was thick with the scent of blooming flowers and the tantalizing aroma of fine tobacco. The fact that the most prominent aristocrats of the city had gathered in this manor today undoubtedly made it the place to be.

Moreover, this also spoke volumes about the connection and influence that Daneli held in the city despite being someone from the Baja High Forest. Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com

After showing the invitation card at the entrance, Adam leisurely made his way toward his friend's manor. Looking around at the people dressed in luxurious clothing, the youth was quite surprised.

Daneli has such influence in Ravenfell? Or rather, why are these nobles trying so hard to suck up to him? Could it be that the bastard hails from a prominent household in Baja?

Adam's mind wondered about his friend's background as he ascended the white marble steps leading to the manor's main entrance.

"Okay!" John readily agreed.

In Ravenfell, whenever soirees or balls were held, drinks and food were generally served in designated areas such as a drawing room or a refreshment room, separate from the main ballroom where the dancing took place.

Adam and John chatted with each other as they entered the refreshment room. On one side of the room, long sideboards and buffets were properly organized, displaying an array of fine wines, sherries, and brandies.

In addition to the sideboards, several smaller tables were organized around the room where fresh and delicious food items were kept.

As the pair took a glass of wine each for themselves, John glanced at Adam and curiously asked, "So how do you know Daneli Ambermind? Honestly, I didn't expect you to be here."

"Old friend," Adam replied casually as he sipped wine.

The next moment, his brows furrowed a little as the taste of the liquor wasn't up to the standard. The wine he brewed was countless times superior to the one he was having.

Meanwhile, John was speechless and asked, "Really? You're old friends with him?"

Adam glanced at him and asked in puzzlement, "Yeah? What's so great about it?"

John's lips twitched. "Are you feigning ignorance? Or you really don't know?"

"No, seriously, I don't know."

John stared deeply at the raven-haired youth before sighing. His next words truly astonished Adam.

"Just like how the Four Pillars support the Acadian Empire, the Baja High Forest also has something similar - The Four Great Clans.

"And one of the Four Clans...

"Is the Ambermind Clan!"
