I'M A Villains In My Second Life
Chapter 56's

After arriving at the seat of his greatness King Daylen did not immediately sit but still stood and began to deliver a little speech to the invited guests.

“I thank you to those of you who are still willing to sacrifice energy and material to continue supporting me until I enter my 43rd year, I hope you will always be faithful to support me in running the government in our prosperous kingdom.”

After delivering his speech King Daylen then took out a golden cup containing alcohol and gulped its contents after which raised the cup past his head signifying that the opening of the Festival to be held for seven days had begun.

“Happy birthday King Daylen source of hope and light from the kingdom of Coniferland, may long life and healthy always!”

Invitational guests who were present at the event that night wished King Daylen a happy birthday and they did the same.

they all took a glass filled with alcohol then drank it and raised the glass high – high as a sign of their joy.

King Daylen then sat in his seat of greatness as well as his wife and two sons. Not long later people – people from distinguished families, nobles and emissaries from other regional rulers began to approach the King and give congratulations and gifts that they had prepared as a birthday for King Daylend.

“Greetings King Daylend, Queen Juliette, Prince Yardley and Prince Edward I envoys from western empires pronounce during the birthday and may the age display be the prosperous ruler of the land coniferland.”

A group of about five people walked up to King Daylend and bowed to pay their respects while informing him of his identity.

“Build.” King Deylen ordered them to get up and reply to the five emissaries kindly.

“Our king sent us a coat made of 100-year-old white bear skin from the west as a gift to King Daylen.” They spoke while revealing a coat covered with fine white fur.

“Alright, For giving me rare items please say thank you to your king, please enjoy the party mister – mr.”

“Thank you for the hospitality of King Daylend, and the message you sent will be sure to pass it on to our king.”

After king Daylen received the gifts they had brought to the five messengers and then immediately went and enjoyed the feast as King Deylen had said.

“What's wrong with that guy, why keep looking at me like that?” Leathina's mind as she looked at one of the five messengers kept looking at her as she walked away from King Deylen.

Ah yes! I remember now what I forgot earlier, I forgot to prepare a gift for King Deylen. Basic Leathina stupid why can forget anyway if attending a birthday celebration must bring gifts.

Finally, Leathina noticed what she had forgotten about, and she had just caught him after seeing a gift from the northern kingdom.

Now it's time for Duke Leonard's family to give gifts and greetings to King Daylen.

“Greetings King Daylen greetings Queen Juliette and to the two princes."

Duke Leonard bowed to pay his respects to the royal family followed by the rest of his family.

"Greetings King Daylen."

Nicholas, Nora, and Leathina almost simultaneously greet King Daylen as King Daylen greets him.

"Happy birthday King Daylen I hope you will always live a prosperous life."

Duke Leonard spoke while giving a box containing a birthday present to King Daylen.

"Oh Leathina do you want to talk to Prince Yardley?"

"Thank you King Daylen for your kindness, but as you know I have nothing to do with Prince Yardley so I don't need this opportunity and Prince Yardley certainly thinks the same."

After King Daylen mentioned his name Prince Yardley glanced at Leathina out of curiosity to find out how he reacted. But seeing Leathina's unusual reaction, she turned her face the other way because she didn't want Leathina to know that she was watching.

"Then I will introduce my second son."

"I've heard many things about you Miss Leathina, introduce me Prince Edward Arathorn the second prince of the kingdom of Coniferland."

Edward moved from his place to approach Leathina then slightly bowed and kissed Leathina's hand as a greeting.

" really? I hope the news you heard is not a strange rumor about me."

Leathina also bowed back in return to Prince Edward who was now in front of her.

After the two of them finished getting acquainted with Duke Leonard then immediately left King Deylen because they realized there were still many invited guests who came to greet the King directly.

Duke Leonard and his wife Duchess Nice went to greet the invited guests from other families and add to his relationship, while Nicholas and Nora also go along with their peers While Leathina also goes to separate from the family she is busy looking for the ministry of Anne who has since separated from her.

Because Leathina did not find the person she was looking for, she walked to the most inconspicuous place and sat there trying to keep her distance from people.

"Gosh, I can't find Anne anywhere she might be enjoying a party somewhere else." Leathina muttered as she knocked herself over the seat she chose to seclude herself while exhaling her long breath.

"Oh yes, Duke Leonard just gave a gift as a family guard so I don't have to bother looking for a reason why I didn't bring a gift for King Daylen."

Leathina muttered as she watched the people who were enjoying the party.
