Royal banquet (1)

"Hm... Am I really going to wear this?"

"Yes, this clothing was made with leaves from the world tree, so feel honored to be able to wear it."

Jacob looked at a set of light clothes with a green color and a peculiar design and answered dejectedly:

"All right, I'll wear this..."

"That's great! Then go take a shower first to get that smell off."

Jacob would give his armpit a sniff and quickly agreed with galiel and said:

"Where can I take a shower?"

"The bathroom is the second door on the left, there are towels in there and other things you can use to take your bath."

"Thank you."

Jacob thanked him and began to make his way to the bathroom.

Galiel just watched Jacob leave as he smiled and after he left, Galiel lay down on his bed apparently tired and reflected:

'Why do I feel something strange and different about him? It's such a peculiar feeling... But let's leave that aside for now.'

.

.

.

In the shower, Jacob was taking a bath while reflecting:

'Damn, I still have no idea how to manage to steal the sword by myself.... But there must be a way, I don't know how long I will be here so in this period of time, I will pray that there will be an opportunity and I will grab it at all costs!'

Deciding what he was going to do, Jacob quickly finished cleaning himself up and left the bathroom.

Galiel noticed someone coming and looked down the hallway leading to the bathroom and spotted jacob with the towel covering his waists and just then, galiel's eyes widened in surprise as he saw the scars all over Jacob's body.

'Now I understand... These scars explain a lot about who he is, and why I can't feel his presence... He must be someone extremely strong, that would explain why he is rodric's friend.'

Jacob ignored galiel's gaze on his body and started walking to the clothes he was going to wear tonight.

He took a good look at the outfit that had a lightweight design and spoke:

"Are you going out or are you going to watch?"

"Hm... do you want me to be honest?"

"No!"

"Sigh, I'll wait for you downstairs"

Galiel stood up and started to leave the room, while Jacob stared at him to make sure that he really was going to leave.

After finally being alone, Jacob sighed with relief and began to put on his clothes.

One by one he put on his clothes and after he was completely dressed, he went in front of a mirror and said:

"Hm, It's kind of turned out better than I imagined."

Now that he was completely ready, Jacob just gave his hair a light comb and left the room and started down the stairs....

.

.

Galiel looked at the stairs anxiously as he waited for jacob to come down and to his happiness, he began to hear footsteps and soon after he saw someone coming down and after a few moments, jacob appeared fully and galiel spoke smiling, while thinking of indecent things:

"You look great in this outfit, you'll probably get everyone's attention today."

"Yeah, I probably will..."

Galiel sighed trying to shake off his indecent thoughts and said:

"Shall we go now? My father must be waiting for us."

"Let's go."

"Okay, follow me."

Jacob then began to follow Galiel to the banquet, where the king and queen were....

.

.

.

In a huge hall were the most important elves of the kingdom, among them were some of other species.

The atmosphere inside the hall was perfect to say the least. All the elves were chatting, while some were dancing and singing.

In front of them all were the king and queen sitting on thrones while watching everything.

In front of the king was rodric who was talking to him:

"At the very least, he is someone interesting."

"Hm... it's been a while since I've seen you take an interest in someone."

"It's my fault, since I'm a picky person."

Suddenly, the queen entered the conversation and asked rodric:

"This human, how strong is he?"

"Unfortunately I do not have this information, but I know he is not someone weak."

The queen would be thoughtful for a few moments and after thinking of something, she would speak:

"How about we test him?"

Rodric and sindar immediately protested against it, but it was already too late... They could hear the door of the hall opening and an elf began to play an instrument as he spoke:

"The prince is entering."

Everyone looked at jacob and galiel who just entered and quickly the gossip started among the elves, the topic of conversation was about the mysterious human next to the prince.

Jacob felt all those stares on him but ignored them all and started to head towards rodric.

The elves looked at jacob and were annoyed and thought:

'How can a human walk towards the king and queen?!'

'Unforgivable! How dare this human walk towards the king?'

Without even caring about all those sharp stares, Jacob kept walking until suddenly, he stopped walking, all because the king had stood up.

All the elves' eyes widened in shock at this scene and they were even more shocked to see the king walking towards Jacob.

Galiel, who was watching from afar, was surprised by the whole thing.

Sindar walked up to jacob while speaking calmly:

"Jacob voss..."

Quickly jacob regained his composure and bowed simply and replied:

"I presume you are the king."

After jacob said that, an elf who seemed to be someone important within the kingdom, stepped into the middle between the two and spoke to jacob:

"Stay away from the king, human."

The queen smiled as she saw that and spoke to the elf:

"Kill him."

At the same instant the elf materialized an extremely sharp sword in his hand and replied:

"Yes!"

After being interrupted, Sindar looked angrily at the queen and said:

"What are you doing, lagertha?"

"What am I doing? I'm just making things more fun."

Rodric sighed wearily and sindar looked at jacob and the elf who would be fighting any moment and thought:

'But this is a good opportunity to see if the human is someone who needs my attention.'

But to his surprise, lagertha said to the 20 armed guards inside the hall:

"Kill the human."

Immediately the guards drew their swords and began to move towards jacob.

Rodric was beginning to get worried and spoke to lagertha:

"This is crossing the line!"

"Haha, what? Are you worried about the human? If he is really someone interesting, at the very least he should be able to handle that number."

Rodric looked worriedly at jacob but quickly became reassured when he noticed the calm, cool expression on his face and spoke to lagertha:

"How about we make a bet?"

"Oh? You want to make a bet with me? Have you by any chance forgotten that I never lose?"

"I haven't forgotten that, but then, shall we make a bet?"

"Hm... If the human wins, I'll grant you a favor, and if the human loses, you'll have to do something for me. Is that okay with you?"

"Agreed, but I want you to grant the human a favor and not me."

"Are you sure?"

Rodric looked at jacob and answered confidently:

"Yes."

"Haha, let the games begin..."

Suddenly, the door to the hall opened again and in walked an elf wearing a beautiful blue dress that matched her beautiful blue eyes and blonde hair.

She looked at the crowd of soldiers and at Jacob and spoke angrily:

"What's going on here?!"

Jacob turned to her and spoke in surprise:

"Shit..."

A character who would be part of raphael's harem, had just suddenly appeared....
