It was the night of the blood moon ball. Fallacy sat on a chair in the middle of the room with her dogs on eighter side sitting protectively and plenty of guests all conversing. She had been in charge of planning the celebration. Everything was a perfect mix of her and Encre's cultures. She used the cultural significance of the moon in both cultures and decorated it as such. The menu they would have were filled with traditional dishes. She had even taught the chefs how to make some of them. Then there was the security issue. Fallacy had learned from the previous gatherings that security had to be high so her own creatures were disguised as servants and guards. Thought 4 of her creatures were there for other reasons. In Argan, there has to be a kind of 'eye candy' for any celebration. The people with that role had to entertain by using their charisma to hold up conversations. They had to know how to play instruments and do magic tricks without it being actual magic. Of course, there was a reason they were called eye candy. They had to be hot by agdan standards which weren't hard. The 4 creaturs fallacy had chosen loved this. They died as petty thieves or murderers who killed right after fucking their victim. This was what they did before death but without the actual fucking and murdering. Fallacy looked around. Everyone had arrived. Everyone but her grandfather. She didn't know if she should hope he stayed away or arrived, but either way, he would do one of the two. Everyone was told to find their seat as the doors opened. Everyone turned to look at the large and old Yaiko who entered the doors. Everyone knew his name, they had all seen his face many times, but they hadn't expected him to be soo big. They knew this would be very important for Fallacy's future in the castle and also the country's economy. He walked in scanned the room and locked eyes with a person. He didn't bother with formalities to the king or anyone else. He walked straight to his granddaughter looking at her and frowning. Fallacy sighed as she took out a napkin and removed the black makeup covering her markings. The similarities between the two of them became unmistakable as the old yaiko gave her a toothy grin.

"They sure have grown since last time," The old man said with a big smile looking at her granddaughter's belly. Fallacy only agreed with the old man. Fallacy's dogs were unsure of what to do but then he picked her up using one of his hands and placed her on his shoulder where her small frame sat comfortably. There was no doubt that they had a connection and their family relationships were painfully clear as Fallacy no longer had her facial markings covered. There was no doubt that the two were related. Their faces looked too much alike and it was clear that Fallacy took after her grandfather. Randalf Magdan Fallacy's grandfather finally went around to greet people but was constantly reminded of why he never came to gatherings held by none yaiko's. Their ceilings were too low. Everyone was once again called to the table to eat. Encre sat at the very end of the table Fallacy to his left and Painture to his right. Besides fallacy was her grandfather who sat beside Encre's grandmother. Peinture sat beside Reaper. Randalf saw the seating and switched places with Fallacy He shrunk down just enough to sit comfortably in the chair but he was still larger than the average person. Encre was slightly crossed by this but Fallacy did not care.

"Why did your grandfather switch places with you?" Plumo asked.

"It indecent for the only daughter of the family to sit beside a man outside of it," Randalf answered for Fallacy. She gave him a glare before turning to Plumo.

"Oh," Plumo replied. Slowly the realization hit her. If fallacy was the only daughter that meant she was the only one to continue the family. Randalf glared at Encre every time he looked at the king. Plumo noticed the hostility.

"Randalf I noticed your hostility towards my grandson mind telling me why?" Plumo asked. Fallacy could shrink into her seat. She knew the two would start yelling sooner or later, it would be a shitshow. Her grandfather Ignored her at first. Thought the glares from literally everyone got him to acknowledge the question
