The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 438: The Supper
The Great Demon Empire was in a festive atmosphere and the imperial palace was filled with peak experts from the entire Red Demon Continent. Some superpowers outside the Great Demon Empire even sent their representatives to join the celebration.
At this moment, the area outside the imperial palace had over a hundred thousand soldiers stationed. They all had sharp auras, a clear sign that they were veteran soldiers.
The representatives sent by all the major powers were amazed when they saw this terrifying army!
“I heard that the Bloodfallen Family has fallen, but it seems like all those rumors are not true.”
“Indeed. Just look at those soldiers. Who would dare to make trouble here with those on standby?”
Suddenly, everyone noticed that the entrance of the imperial palace was opened. Artaurus, dressed in his war imperial clothes came out with several generals following behind him.
“What is that man, Prince Artaurus?”
“Yes, there it is. I heard he had a serious illness when he was young, but now he's cured. Looks like this bodes well for the Bloodfallen.” Family
Artaurus Bloodfallen smiled at the various representatives. “Happy noon everyone! I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. Everything has been prepared within the palace and I officially invite all representatives to come with me inside to witness the coronation of my sister, Cornelia.”
His voice was filled with confidence and charm that made everyone who heard him feel at ease.
“Your Majesty, you don't need to apologize. We are cultivators! This little wait is nothing! Hahah!” Someone from the crowd lightened the atmosphere and the others immediately laughed with him.
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Artaurus smiled and gestured for them to follow him. “Come! Follow me into the imperial palace! We prepare a big banquet for all your precious guests.”
Everyone followed Artaurus in groups as they entered the palace. Only those with considerable authority were allowed to enter. As for the others, they could only watch the coronation through a video screen powered by the Formation Array. However, despite the difference in treatment, no one dared to cause trouble. After all, there was a huge army stationed right outside the imperial palace! Only a fool would dare to be impudent in this situation…
Artaurus took the guest into the spacious hall where the banquet was held. When they arrived, there were already a few representatives from the other great powers chatting in groups of four or five.
“Everything, your seats are ready. Please take our guests to their seats.” Artaurus said before he left.
“I've brought the last group of guests to the banquet hall. You can start a banquet, Cornelia.” Artaurus whispered to the communication crystal in his hand.
“Good. Thank you, brother.” That was the answer he heard from the communication crystal.
After guarding the communication crystal, Artaurus walked towards a group of elites and joined their conversation. Their Great Demon Empire might be powerful, but it would not hurt to gain more allies, especially now that they were going to war with the Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family.
A calming melody suddenly entered the ears of everyone within the hall. They could only stare ahead of where the sound was coming from. Sitting on the chair was Cornelia who wore a red and gold imperial robe. Her hair was beautifully tied, adding charm to her already beautiful face.
Everyone closed their eyes as they enjoyed the beautiful melody. They felt their ears tingling in ecstasy as the melody continued.
Soon, Cornelia ended the melody, but everyone was still immersed in that soulful play.
Not long after, everyone gasped from a daze and clapped.
“Her Majesty's harp skills are completely out of this world!”
“Excellent show, Your Majesty!”
Cornelia smiled as she heard everyone's words. He then stood up and said. “Welcome everyone! I do not like to start this banquet with a long boring speech, I hope everyone enjoys my appearance.”
“We enjoy it, Your Highness!”
“Good work, Your Highness!”
“Please enjoy the banquet, everyone. The coronation ceremony will begin after this. Thank you for coming here.” Cornelia cupped her fists before she sat on the most prominent chair along with some elders from the Bloodfallen Family.
Banquet continues.
Everyone in this hall was an expert in their respective fields. Big business deals and alliances between great powers were built throughout the banquet! This was the reason why many great powers decided to send their representatives here! It was an opportunity to communicate with other superpowers and gain friendship from them!
Meanwhile, a group of young men suddenly walked towards Cornelia. They put a smile on their faces as they glanced at him. However, everyone could somehow feel the tension in the atmosphere as these youths moved towards the princess.
“We really enjoy your beautiful appearance, Your Highness! Even until now, I am still fascinated by your harp skills.” The youth leader said as he bowed to the princess. His actions are full of grace and respect.
This young man was Stormhoof Torgrim's grandson, Bylor. The strongest youth among the younger generation of the Torgrim Family!
Everyone in this hall was an astute individual, they could already sense the hostility between the two sides. However, no one dared to talk about this and they just watched the scene with great interest.
“Lord Bylor, thank you for your kind words. My harp skills are not that good, but I practice all day to hone my skills.” Cornelia remained in her seat and smiled at Bylor and his group. He was also wary because this might be a complicated tactic made by the elders of the Torgrim Family, but when he remembered that Ren Shuang was nearby, he felt a little relieved.
“Your Majesty is too humble. We won't take too much of your time, Your Majesty. I know the day is still long..” Bylor smiled before he left with his group.
