While the royal family starts sitting around to greet and talk with their many guests, each one having their own escort from their group of four workers, you tuck yourself away in the ceiling. Many beams along the ceiling, you're able to tuck away in a corner of two intersecting beams, every now and then peeking to watch where the royal members are going. Smiles on all of their faces, it would be an interesting experiment to try and disguise yourself as a guest, but right now none of them have any clothes even somewhat similar to your own. Elegant robes and designs on many of these individuals, maybe if you stay inside the castle here long enough you can later on take a ride with one of these foreign guests. Right now, target is on the royal family, what you want to do, who you want to go with you're unsure currently.
You try to take note of each of the members, their public appearances can only tell you so much other than their physical attributes you noticed earlier. The dark silvering haired king, talking with other partially armored strong looking men near some tables of assorted goods while chewing through hunks of meat. Seems a little sloppy and boarish. The queen with her long blond hair flowing down, holding a wine glass speaking with other female representatives looking just as lovely wearing many different pieces of jewelry up their arms and on their necks or in their hair.

Seems she's one for her alone time.
The gathering lasts a long, long, looong time and you end up falling asleep for most of it. Just couldn't help it. You awaken and worry you may've dropped any of your small bottles of potions, but after checking it seems fine still in your bag. You see most of the guests have dispersed and the maids and butlers gather as the King officially proclaims the end to the night's events. You stay along the ceiling shadowing above like a hawk chasing your prey, even if the sizes are swapped from a hawk and prey for you and the members, but that can easily change if you desire. You follow the group down multiple halls as they all disperse, the King and Queen head to the same chambers, the prince and princess split down to two other rooms, and the servants all stay together discussing amongst themselves outside the rooms waiting for their masters in case of a late order they come up with.
With you sitting up high, you decide you've waited enough and go to-
