Chapter 70
The banquet between the two countries took place in the main city of City of Dusk.
As dusk fell, luxurious carriages arrived outside the city gates one by one.
An extremely long red carpet extended from outside the city gates all the way to the royal palace. Unlike Arlen City, the throne of City of Dusk was directly located in the main hall.
Compared to Arlen City, where one had to walk deeper into the inner hall to reach the throne, the layout of City of Dusk appeared more spacious and imposing.
As soon as he stepped down from the carriage, Mr. Cyclone turned around immediately. Like a gentleman, he extended his arm. The result of this gesture was a left hand wearing a white silk glove.
"From this angle, it's like a goddess descending," he said.
"Tru- truly..." Sonja replied.
Sonja, dressed in pure white evening gown with many white silk decorations, was the most beautiful girl Mr. Cyclone had ever seen. The overall feeling was that of a noble and pure knight.
Unfortunately, Eileen, as an unexpected guest, couldn't attend tonight, so the red dress she was supposed to wear last night couldn't be shown off. As for Little Dragon, Mr. Cyclone instructed him to accompany Eileen, leaving him reluctantly to stay in the hotel.
Why did they make such arrangements?
It's simple, the answer lies with Sonja.
"Hehehe, did you wear it?" Mr. Cyclone asked.
"N- no! How can I possibly wear that underwear?" Sonja replied.
"Sure, sure," he said.
Blushing, Mr. Cyclone didn't want to tease Sonja in front of everyone, so he temporarily stopped joking around.
Holding Mr. Cyclone's arm, Sonja attended the banquet as his dance partner.
They walked along the long red carpet, crossing the drawbridge outside the royal palace and then the surrounding grass field.
The grass field surrounded the entire royal palace and was now filled with numerous dining tables.
Although no food had been placed yet, it was estimated that the main hall would be the dance floor, and this area would be the dining area for the guests.
Soon, they arrived at the inner door, where maids lined up neatly on both sides, making welcoming gestures to guide the incoming guests.
Inside the royal palace, there were no dining tables, only small round tables on tall legs used for holding wine glasses.
Many people had already arrived, including King Arlen and the King of City of Dusk. In the center, the two kings were engaged in conversation.
Daniel, Elyse, and several unfamiliar people stood behind them. Among them, there was also a stunning beauty, but standing next to the King of City of Dusk, she was most likely the queen or a similar role.
Most attendees would come to the center to pay their respects to the two kings, and then wait nearby for the official start of the banquet.
Mr. Cyclone, accompanied by Sonja, approached King Arlen.
Despite being a Tiny Romanian creature, his aura was on par with the human king beside him.
"Welcome, hero of Arlen," the King of City of Dusk greeted Mr. Cyclone first.
"It is my honor to attend such an occasion," Mr. Cyclone replied naturally. This kind of formal conversation was very practical, maintaining politeness while also highlighting his nobility.
In fact, Sonja had already taught Mr. Cyclone inside the carriage.
Elyse, standing behind them, didn't do much. Despite what had happened, she knew better than to act out of line in front of her royal brother.
After a while, as the attendees gathered at the banquet venue, the kings of both countries made speeches to mark the beginning of the banquet.
Mr. Cyclone merely let the words enter his left ear and leave his right. But as the representative of City of Dusk, he had to make a second speech to officially declare the start of the banquet.
When the speeches ended, the music began to play.
"Let's begin," Mr. Cyclone said.
"Yeah," Sonja replied.
"Dance with me in that underwear, hehehe~"
"I- I told you I didn't wear it!"
"Then why do you instinctively cover your skirt every time I mention it? It's not like you have something to hide, right~"
Mr. Cyclone covered half of his mouth, and the banquet between the two countries officially began.
