Chapter 123 – Families

After the desserts and the after-mints disappeared (and all the guests were given a small, exquisite box of assorted chocolates to take home), King Jaren formally announced the end of the official banquet and opened the floor for general discussions and interactions.

General Aquila immediately led Crown Princess Pica, King Corvus, Rook, Raven and Mana to the family that had saved him and housed him for ten years.

The old man, who had fished General Aquila out of the sea all those years ago and had given him the name "Nemo" after realising that he had no memory of anything, was also in attendance. After all, it wasn't every day that the king of your country personally invites you to a royal banquet, right? He was a rather jovial old man with a slightly wrinkled but ever smiling face, and his eyes lit up as soon as he saw General Aquila approaching them.
