The Banquet (II)

When they arrived at the banquet. Several officials were already seated on their respective seats but they did not follow the original seating arrangement where one would seat based on their ranking. They were sitting on the seats where they could freely chat with their peers.

While other seats and tables were spread across each side of the hall where the nobles could go and sit.

At the highest and farthest seated, there were two figures who were already sitting on the exquisitely made chairs. It was the Emperor and the Empress. Both had their majestic smiles already plastered on their faces and not a hint could tell anyone when will they wipe that annoying smiles from their faces.

There were also several other chairs and tables lined up just below the seats for the Emperor and Empress. These seats were used by the royal offsprings of the emperor and it seemed that every princes and princess were present as they were already sitting there.
