The banquet

The dining hall of the castle was filled with people, five long tables laden with food occupying the entire space. Laughter echoed throughout the room, creating a scene that might not have been seen even during the kingdom's golden era. Food and alcohol was abundant.

Henry sat on the grand chair, where he could oversee the entire room, slowly sipping his drink. Luna's voice reached his ear - "When are you going to give me more books? The last one was quite useful. I can feel that in less than five years, I might have a shot at reaching a new stage" - she said hurriedly, sitting right beside the king.

The king turned toward the eccentric woman, "What about my people?" 

"What people?" - Luna asked, shaking her head seemingly unable to understand. Henry immediately complemented - "The ten soldiers I sent to you to be trained in the ways of magic. The ones you selected yourself from the army, saying they had the bare talent to become mages."
