Anticipation of the next attack or threat had everyone on edge. To ease the tension within the plaza, a brunch was organized. The sitting arrangements were carefully planned to ensure that everything would go as smoothly as possible. As per usual, this event would not be just about friendly chatter and delicious pastries. The royals were known for their charitable tendencies, were they not? World Food Programme was the event’s charity. Everyone wanted to do some good, it didn’t matter whether it was to help with a guilty conscience or just their utterly altruistic nature, WFP was a conveniently neutral and trustworthy organization. Simply perfect.
☾ ° › HEADS AS EMPTY AS
The brunch starts at 11.00 am. Sharp. The guests should arrive on time. The food will be served to the tables and, naturally, there will be an open bar. The guests will enjoy a string quartet that will be playing for the duration of the brunch.
This event will commence on the 20th of July and ends on the 23rd of July. This event is still only about the Thursday afternoon, the IC event doesn’t last for days !

Rhea stood by one of the tables, not paying attention to the event at all. She had a cup of tea in her hands and stared off into the space in front of her, daydreaming about being anywhere else but here. Before she could stop herself, she let her cup of tea tilt forward, spilling some of the contents out onto the very nice floor. The lady-in-waiting caught someone’s eye as she quickly set the cup onto the table. “I didn’t do it,” she said, shifting her eyes nervously. “I mean... I kinda did it but I didn’t really do it.”

Ilona sat at a table by herself, sipping from her mimosa and scrolling through her phone. She knew she should be socializing, but she was trying to catch up with what was happening back in Hungary. As she scrolled, she saw a shadow fall across her phone. She looked up. “Yes” she said. “Did you need something?”
"6.47 million,” the patron declared. The guests gave him a standing ovation: this was a victory, a small, small victory. Despite its size, it made the crowd relatively happy. It stirred within all, a false sense of hope. Applause ended abruptly when the whole building shook. Swarovski crystals of the chandelier rattled against each other; for a second, guests feared the lights would shatter upon the ground. For a short moment, everyone was convinced that it had merely been an earthquake. The aggressive rumble of an explosion, however, was a sure identification of the source.
Chaos engulfed the room and everyone started rushing to the doors. Had it not been for the quick witted guard, the situation would have, without a doubt, gotten out of hand. She instructed everyone stay calm —- a fruitless effort — and kept everyone inside the room. No one was to make a move until they received instructions from outside.
☾ ° › THE SOUND ECHOES UNTIL
Evacuation went as smoothly as it just could. The walls continued to tremble and cracks appeared upon them as the crowd flooded through flights of steps down the fire escape. The loud sound of the alarm was piercing. The concoction of fumes and panic within the air had become suffocating. Be it the fast pace they needed to keep up or the small amounts of smoke seeping into the stairwell, it was the survival of the fittest.
☾ ° › IT IS DROWNED BY
The important guests along with their closest servants were quickly escorted to much safer location outside of the city center. Hours passed after hours before any change had occurred. They filled car after car. Nothing else was said; not a single piece of information was given. The drive to the airport was a silent one. No one knew what to say, no one had anything to say. The fear of future had stopped existing, everyone was afraid of the present.
☾ ° › THE DEAFENING NOISE OF CANNONS
After a long, exhausting flight everyone was relieved when they boarded a bus: their future residence was just one drive away. But things were never that simple in such a trying time. The vehicle stopped at a dock and the flock of shaken royals were ushered on a boat. Proceeding, were the children of the elite, accompanied by staff, who likely had it tougher than anyone. There was a curtain of mist atop of the vast body of water, and one could only wonder where they would end up. The first rays of sunshine coloured every surface in soft hues of red. It was still cool but there was no doubt about it: the day would be beautiful and warm. Eventually the white walls of their future came into a view. The estate stood proudly on the private island, a little safe haven —- solely for them.
