Zexen Federation Day Ball

The Zexen Federation Day Ball (ゼクセン連邦の建国記念パーティ, Zekusen Renpō no Kenkoku Kinen Pāti) is a celebration mentioned in Suikoden III. It is where Chris Lightfellow and Lilly Pendragon first met.

Information
In SY 470, the Zexen Federation Day Ball was held to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Zexen Federation.

The celebration was overshadowed by the confrontation between Lilly Pendragon, first daughter of the Tinto Republic, and Chris Lightfellow, a member of the Zexen Knights. Lilly would insist that Chris dance with her and when Chris, who was not good at dancing at the time, accidentally spilled a glass of wine on Lilly's dress, a brawl soon broke out. Lilly ended up throwing a cake at Chris, who retaliated with a slap.

The fight would finally end after the two finished hurling tables at one another. Despite, or rather because of, this incident, the two recognized the strong will in each other and the two, especially Lilly, considered themselves friends.

Trivia

 * In Suikoden III: The Successor of Fate 1, the confrontation is more muted, with Lilly slapping Chris for refusing to dance and Chris responding in kind before being dragged away by Percival. Lilly still views Chris as a friend after the incident, however.
