The Banquet Commences

Meanwhile, Orion observed as a new seat was arranged for him near Princess Crystalia, and he was gestured to return to his position. Catching Flintor's jealous expression as he moved to stand behind Princess Crystalia's seat, Orion couldn't help but snort softly as he settled comfortably into his seat, grateful that he wouldn't have to stand throughout the banquet.

As the crowd gradually quieted down, King Brylon cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, that's all I have to say for now. Clan Head Jadeus will take over from here."

At that moment, Clan Head Jadeus rose from his seat, crystal-clear glass cup in hand, and declared loudly, "First of all, this toast is to the bright future of the Prismerian Kingdom. Our generation will finally see the day when we can leave these mountains, and we toast to Naka for watching over us, showing us that we have not been abandoned."
