Chapter 357: Receiving gifts I

It was 2 days before the upcoming royal wedding, and the festivities continued blaringly in the capital. Meanwhile, Geoffrey and Serena were in the crown prince's formal reception room in the palace, both seated on an elevated platform as streams of delegations and royalties from other kingdoms presented their wedding gifts. 

As Geoffrey was the future king of Windsor, many of the gifts for the couple were very elaborate. From priceless tiaras, ancient antique, foreign territories, to valuable trading rights. It was like a pageantry to which each kingdom or foreign territory paraded to show their splendor. Luckily, they only had to remain seated as Kings and Queens of other kingdoms only sent representatives either in the form of their prince, princess, or dignitary. 

Finally, after 3 hours of just sitting there and graciously receiving the gifts, it was over. Geoffrey's gentleman of the chamber closed the door and the two were left alone.
