The banquet (2)

Under a dark sky illuminated by the light of the moon and the stars

The Royal Palace being decorated with a thousand lights to host a banquet began to open its doors to welcome the nobles from all over the kingdom accompanied by their family and also guests of major brands such as the Duke of the north Turner Stevens who was a formidable Mage with a power comparable to that of the captain of the order of the royal knights Arya which allowed him to keep so far his title of Duke and also the presence of the Marquis Bernett Ross was also to be taken into account who was a dishonest man who had His title that thanks to his ancestors he is a man who has started fighting against royal power since King Raphael deployed the order of the wolves of death and the order of the white lions in his territory in the south of the kingdom without warning him and especially without his agreement which subsequently caused a decrease in his influence in the south of the kingdom.

So some time after the opening of the banquet Duke Turner being a tall and elegant man with long dark blue hair and purple eyes met in the Reception Room of the Palace the Marquis Bernett who was a fat man with a mustache and brown hair.

Then the Marquis approached the Duke and said while touching his mustache:

"I greet the Grand Duke of the North"

Then the Duke gave the Marquis a contemptuous look but he said with a smile:

"Greetings Mr. Marquis"

And looking at the Marquis he saw a figure behind him and said:

"I see that you did not come alone Mr. Marquis"

So the marquis advanced the small figure in front of him and with a little laugh accompanied by a smile he said:

"I present to you my daughter Sylvie"

At the same time, young Sylvie with orange hair and amber eyes bowed and said:

"I greet the Grand Duke of the North"

Then Duke Turner looked at the Marquis and said:

"I see that you have a well-educated daughter Marquis"

Then the Marquis said with a smile:

"That you flatter me dear Duke"

Then with a questioning look the Marquis said to the Duke:

"According to rumors, the second prince will make his first appearance in public today"

"What do you think?"

So while staring at the Marquis and his daughter the Duke thought:

"I see so that's why he took his daughter with him today"

"The second prince must be 7 years old this year and this girl seems to be his age"

"If the prince ends up appearing then his daughter will do everything to attract his favors"

"Especially since it is said that the second prince has a stronger talent than that of the first prince and the first princess makes him a serious candidate for the throne if what is said about him is real"

Then with a corner smile the Duke answers:

"I am always in ignorance like you, Mr. Marquis"

"We will only see what will happen during the banquet"

Then the Marquis gave the Duke a contemptuous look and said with a hypocritical smile:

"You're right, let's participate and observe the banquet"

A FEW MINUTES LATER:

The banquet hall began to fill with nobles and guests of honor and at the same time in the Royal Palace:

"I see that you are ready my brother" said Layna dressed in an elegant black dress that contrasts with her long black hair and that made her red eyes stand out.

Lucas was dressed in an elegant white royal suit that highlighted his face with a cape with only one shoulder, the cape was golden and the epaulette was decorated with white feathers

So Lucas with an amazed look looked at his sister and said with a big smile:

"How splendid you are my sister"

So Layna approached Lucas and hit him on the shoulder and said:

"So are you ready for your first banquet?"

Then Lucas sighed and said:

"I'd rather get hit in the stomach from you than participate in the banquet"

Then Layna caught Lucas and put Lucas' head between her armpits and got up and rubbed his head by messing up his hair with a smile she said:

"You don't need to worry everything will be fine I'm here for you"

"Now fix your hair we have to go" she said with a cheerful smile before leaving Lucas' suite and starting to wait for him in front of the door of the suite.

Then Lucas sighed and with a small smile he looked at the bracelet that Layna had just offered him and with a disappointed look accompanied by a small voice he said:

"And to say that tomorrow my sister will leave and leave me alone"

So always continuing and looking at the bracelet Layna screamed outside the room:

"But why are you hanging out hurry up"

So with a smile Lucas shouted:

"Yes, I'm hurrying"

So Lucas quickly arranged his hair in front of a mirror and rushed to join Layna and said:

"Here I am"

So Layna looked at Lucas with a teasing look and a teasing smile.

While covering her smile Layna says:

"You would prepare yourself better to impress the young ladies of the nobility"

Then Lucas' cheeks turned red and with a shocked look Lucas tapped his sister at the ribs and said while screaming:

"What are you talking about you crazy woman"

So Layna started laughing after Lucas' reaction and said while laughing:

"No need to react like that you know"

"Come on, let's go, we can also see Dayvon again so let's hurry up"

So with a smile they went together to the banquet room

A FEW MINUTES BEFORE:

"Toc Toc Toc"

"Yes," said Raphael in a loud voice,

"It's me Dayvon your majesty" says Dayvon behind the door of the king's office

"Go in," Raphaël replied

Then Dayvon entered the king's enlightened office and saw his father accompanied by Hallan he bowed to one knee and said:

"I greet the sun of the kingdom and the sword of the Ingriss family"

"Rise my son," said Raphael, staring at Dayvon with a serious look.

"So how was your stay at the institute"

Dayvon got up and with a respectful look and closing his eyes he said:

"My stay at the institution helped me a lot and I am ready to follow your orders"

So with a little smile Raphael says:

"So be it"

"For the future since you are 16 years old and with your knowledge I will leave men of the order of white lions under your order and you will do everything you find necessary for the good of our kingdom"

So Dayvon began to have a big smile and with an amazed look he said:

"At your command, Your Majesty"

"Ohh uhh, thank you father, I also missed you a lot during my stay at the institute"

Then Raphael with a smile and a look full of pride he says:

"You too my son"

"Do your best for our kingdom with your new role"

Then Dayvon said:

"Don't worry father"

So with a little smile Raphael says:

"Go get ready for tonight's banquet, your brothers must be waiting for you"

Then Dayvon straightened up and said:

"Deay father"

So watching Dayvon leave the room Raphael says:

"Most of the hair has turned black except for the ends of the front ones"

And with a smile he says:

"You have grown well my son"

BACK TO THE PRESENT

Layna and Lucas arrived in front of the entrance hall of the banquet supervised by royal guards.

And a guard said:

"Do you want to enter now, your highness? ”

Then Layna said:

"Please wait a few minutes"

Then Layna turned her gaze to Lucas and said with a smile:

"Ready to face the pack of nobles? She said while adjusting the sleeves of her dress.

Then Lucas sighed and said:

"Can't we just not go? I feel like I'm going to be bored at this event"

So Layna looked at Lucas and said:

"Come on, it won't be that terrible, just avoid being taken by the nobles because they will want to introduce you to their descendants to try to be attracted to your favors"

So Lucas wanting to answer Layna they both felt a hand on their shoulder and Dayvon behind them lowered his head to place it between that of Layna and Lucas and said:

"Bbbooouuu"

So Layna and Lucas were shocked and prepared to instinctively attack Dayvon but they stopped in their momentum and said:

"Dayvon you scared us!!!! ”

Then Dayvon laughed and said:

"You should have seen your faces," he said, laughing

Then Lucas piercing Dayvon with the look says:

"Since when have you been here Dayvon? ”

"If you've been there for a long time, why are you only coming to meet us now? ”

He said, looking at Dayvon who wore an elegant black royal suit with a red cape with shoulder pads decorated with black feathers.

So Dayvon looked at him confidently with a smile he said:

"I was with my father, he was the one who held me back for a long time"

Then Dayvon approached Lucas and began to hold his shoulder and with a smile he said:

"You're growing fast my brother"

"I hope you are ready for your first banquet and in any case if you encounter difficulties know that Layna and I are present"

"Don't forget that we are here for you"

So Lucas looked at Layna and Dayvon and with a smile he said:

" Okay my brother"

So Dayvon nodded while looking at the royal guards in front of the door

Then the royal guards opened the door and a herald said out loud:

"Prince Dayvon, Princess Layna and Prince Lucas make their entrances"
