True King's Ecstasy

The grand hall was illuminated with sophisticated tapestries, and the flickering of torches cast a warm glow over the room. A long table was laid out in the centre, covered with an array of exotic dishes that had been prepared for the banquet by Elda and her teams with their extreme care and love.

As the guests arrived, they were greeted by the sound of musicians playing enchanting tunes on their lutes and harps. These musicians played music from Beethoven and extraordinary music pieces.

It was hard for Velian to teach them how to completely copy those notes, so they used their creative minds to change the piece into something more presentable and satisfied the ears of the guests, without even trying to be special.

Servants clad in fine silks and velvets scrambled around the throne room, ensuring that everyone had a goblet of wine in hand.

From time to time, Velian also took a sip of wine observing the crowd from his throne and waited for his beautiful women to join him, so he can satisfy his eyes with their extraordinary beauty.

*Yawn

"Women really take their time when dressing, even Delviny, who is not that interested in those things didn't come yet," He wasn't dissatisfied with this banquet or anything, but without his family by his side, he felt bored to enjoy this banquet to the fullest.

The feast began with a grand display of roasted wild boar meat, each one adorned with its greasy meat and served with a side of seasoned french fries.

By modern-day standards, it can not be called an extravagant meal, but for people in the kingdom, who always ate bland meat and bland vegetables this felt more like something from heaven.

The guests marvelled at the sight of the exotic meat, and the scent of the roasted meat filled the air.

Next came a dish of freshwater fish, seasoned with rare spices and served in a savoury broth.

Some of the guests wrinkled their noses at the thought of eating fishes thinking they are rotten, but once they tasted the dish, they were pleasantly surprised by its delicate flavour and how fresh they were.

The merchants were pleasantly surprised. They wanted to know how they managed to keep these fish like this, opening more business opportunities to the people in the kingdom.

The centrepiece of the banquet was a whole roasted cockatrice, its skin crispy and golden, and its flesh succulent and tender. The animal had been stuffed with herbs and fruits, and the guests couldn't resist taking second and third helpings.

"Is this heaven? Why are all these meats taste like heaven?" Former nobles, who came to this banquet hoping to cause chaos couldn't help but indulge in this luxury and change their mind.

In the beginning, the whole throne room was filled with people but as time went on the space inside the hall didn't feel enough, as people started to invade the area hoping to take a bite of the special meat.

As the night wore on, the guests were entertained by jesters and acrobats, who performed daring feats of skill and strength.

Velian thought about entertaining the male audience with some belly dances, but after thinking about it, he decided to not do that since children are also coming for this.

The wine flowed freely, and the guests laughed and sang late into the night, savouring the exotic flavours and delights of the banquet.

Merchants, former nobles and specially invited guests, the people who represented the commoners and adventurers were also present in this meeting, hoping to bear the new policies of this kingdom and decided whether what they are going to do.

For dessert, the guests were served a custard tart, filled with exotic fruits that had been imported from the alliance.

The tart was topped with a sprinkling of cinnamon and sugar, and the guests savoured every bite thinking that must be what heaven feels like.

"Veli, are you enjoying the banquet, baby?" Lucky for Velian, after a few minutes, the banquet started everyone started to come into the hall capturing the eyes of the men and women around them equally, because of how beautiful they were.

Daphnia, Lyra and Delviny, all three of them wore beautiful one-piece dresses with their curves emphasised showing, they were top-class women in both beauty and exoticness.

"What's with that dress? Wasn't this a new lime of royalty? Why are they so rich and beautiful?" The people of the kingdom started to question ensnared by their beauty.

Sariya and Elda arrived at the throne room, with their long black dresses flowing gracefully as they walked.

The soft fabric swayed with every step, adding an air of elegance to their already stunning appearance.

Their dresses were designed to cover their necks, leaving only their faces exposed. This gave them an air of mystery, making them all the more captivating to those around them.

As they entered the throne room, heads turned in their direction. The guests couldn't help but admire the two women as they made their way through the crowd.

"Who are they? Why are all these people so beautiful?"

The jealous girl kept following their path and they soon noticed, where they were walking to.

Until now, Velian was wearing a mask which covered his face because he knew people would make a scene, if they saw his face but, as soon as Daphnia arrived at the stage, she removed it saying,

"I won't let you hide your handsome look, Veli,"

Others were also eager to catch a glimpse of his face adorned with all the exquisite pieces of jewellery and the stunning white and golden jacket that he was wearing, which enhanced his looks more than ten times.

Everyone in the hall gasped seen the face of the man in front of them,

"Wait! He is our new king? But he looks-"

Most of the people in the hall couldn't believe they were going to serve someone so young, and handsome at the same time.

All the attention that we're on girls suddenly turned into Velian's side.

All the girls looked at him with stars in their eyes, until they heard the voice of Daphnia.

"We are the first generation of the new royal family of this kingdom," She paused for a minute and shouted in a graceful voice.

"We are Keller Family and this is our king," She said while pointing at Velian.
