Alice looked at Markus. He was the one who had invited her and the one with the authority to invite others.

"Ah, I understand now, thank you."
She shook hands with Alice, feeling somewhat awkward at the unusual formality; it was traditionally a male greeting back home. "Erina de sol Lyrvaen, of the Valaran Empire" she introduced herself, curtseying slightly to the assembled guests around her.
"Alice Pearson, of the Allied Connurist States."
She was entirely unaware of the fact that such formalities were perceived to be unusual. The ACS, since foundation in 1930, had always been gender-equal, and so had no traditions in that matter. She knew that the Valaran Empire was supposedly already a friend of the ACS - Connurist Imperials had met Valaran Royals a few times before.


Etrina doesn't know though, after all she is noble, and all she knows about ACS is that their royals go to a lot of events - its a natural assumption that if they aren't there, that someone else of imperial blood is instead.
