The Queen's Feast and a New Journey

The next day, the atmosphere in the Royal Palace of Gama became more formal and festive. Zanuba held a grand banquet to celebrate her victory in restoring the kingdom to its rightful hands and to reunite the nobles who had been divided by Reeve's policies. The long table in the palace's main hall was filled with delicious food, and the seats were occupied by nobles from all corners of the kingdom. They all gathered, waiting for the official celebration to begin.

Zanuba wore the elegant queen's ceremonial gown and sat at the head of the table. Beside her, Alaric, dressed more simply this time, sat quietly, observing the anxious nobles. In the distance, Piere, who now stayed in the kingdom to protect Zanuba, sat calmly among the other guests. However, the warm, festive atmosphere gradually turned tense as the nobles began to argue.
