BXBX NOVEL Chapter 330 Official Visit
"No problem. Well then, could you please tell me what the plan is tonight?" n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Very well, Your Imperial Majesty. First, we will be having a banquet for you and your company inside the palace. We are thinking of offering you a room for honorable visitors in the palace during your stay in the city." "That\'s great, then. We just arrived here after a long trip, so we are looking forward to the banquet. It would be an honor for us to be guided by the Sword Saint and her family." "The honor is ours, Your Imperial Majesty. Please follow us." Mother bobbed her body elegantly before guiding our visitors to the banquet. ◆◇◆◇◆◇
The banquet was held in the grand hall, where the famous hall of mirrors was situated in the real Palace of Versailles. Of course, I could not just completely copy the real thing, so we did not put too many mirrors in there. When we got into the hall, we were greeted by the music the orchestra was harmoniously playing. Leaving the orchestra and the servants alone, there were not that many people in the hall considering how secluded this city was. The Raeven family and Rick, along with his colleagues, were present in the hall as well, since they would be included in later matters. Naturally, it would be business matters. We were about to formal introduce a truly marvelous invention to the emperor and to the world.
In the middle of the hall, a long table with splendid chairs was set horizontally. That would be the main table where my family and the imperial visitors would dine. There were several tables around for others. "I once again welcome you, Your Imperial Majesty." "Thank you for having me, Lady Raevender." The emperor wore a broad smile. "The guest of honor has arrived. Enjoy this evening, everyone. I hope you will as well, Your Imperial Majesty." "Thank you. Let\'s go, everyone." With that, we approached the table and took our seats. Naturally, Mother and His Imperial Majesty took the ends, as they were the hostess and guest of honor of this banquet, respectively. After we got to our seats, a servant approached the table with a bottle in hand. Mother then stood up and received the bottle of dark amber spirit from the servant before he made his gracious exit. "Ladies and gentlemen," Mother grabbed the attention of everyone. "First of all, I would like to thank the Empire of Dixon, especially His Imperial Majesty himself, for sparing some time to visit our humble city. I am aware that there are reasons for the visit, but tonight, let us set that aside and enjoy this night." After that, everyone clapped their hands and gave Mother a short round of applause. Once it was done, Mother clapped her hands once, and several servants with bottles in hand emerged. They opened the bottles and poured their contents into the glasses of each person on each table. "Hohh! What a sweet-smelling beverage this is!" "Really, it is." The scent given by the spirit was so thick and mellow that the emperor and the archbishop slipped their thoughts verbally. As the servants were filling the guests\' glasses, Mother opened the bottle she was holding and poured her glass. "Everyone, before we start this honorable feast, I would like you all to have a taste of this new beverage my son produced. We call this delicacy moonshine. In honor of His Imperial Majesty, the banquet has formally started. Cheers!" "Cheers!!!" When Mother raised her glass of whiskey, everybody raised their own glasses and loudly toasted to start the banquet.
