Society Debut (Part 1)

Holding a child older than a toddler was highly unorthodox, but no one dared to question Lith.

"Take it all in now. The Banquet Hall is even more beautiful so you need to get used to this kind of splendor now if you don't want to stumble in excitement while we walk the red carpet." Lith pointed at several paintings. "Those are the acts that our King Meron performed to be worthy of the throne."

Much to the children's disappointment, there were no great battles nor vanquished monsters. As a Prince, Meron had settled with diplomacy centuries old disputes. He had prevented floods by pushing for a bill to temporarily reinforce river banks before the rain season and devising Warden Spells to do it.

He had also kept famines from harvesting thousands of lives by enforcing food rationing and sharing and by developing spells that allowed to grow crops faster without causing irreversible soil exhaustion.
