Chapter 24: Banquet I

Not only high-ranking nobles from here that will come, but princes and princesses or even their king from neighboring Kingdoms also is invited to come too.

This event became the talk of the workers at the main palace recently because it is said to be one of the biggest events celebrated by The Kingdom of Zinir since years ago, it is a big event also might as well beacause this kingdom is listed as the most stable and strongest kingdom in this continent.

After all, a large part of this best achievement is thanks to Freya's prowess in any match, be it mental or physical.

Day after day, finally the long awaited day has arrived. I breathed a sigh of relief as I safely passed every obstacle and dance lesson from Mrs Clavery Ester. That day when Mrs. Clavery taught me was very- *sigh... I don't want to relive those memories.

As ordered by Lord Alazuir, I will be Princess Violet's escort since she has no siblings to actually must be her escort. So, it became one of a rather clever idea to assign the best knight of this kingdom which is me to escort the only one princesses from this powerful kingdom.

I wear a uniform that has been personally prepared by The Demon Lord. From what I have heard, this uniform is a special handmade request from the royal tailor.

The uniform provided is s royal black with additional golden accessories. While the top part looks like the royal formal tuxedo, the bottom part which is the pants are fit office pants which are also royal black in colour.

My raven black hair is tied in a ponytail to look neat and professional.

This time I decided to put light make up on my face for the final touch... I walked towards the mirror and stood in front of it... I was stunned for a moment. It turns out that my heart stopped beating for a moment when I saw my reflection in the mirror and my heart fell instantly...

'Well... my favorite idol in my previous life used to tell me to always love myself so... I guess that having this feeling is definitely okay... hahaha and I'm a bit crazy right?' I thought to myself scratching the back of my head with a smile.

While waiting for Violet to be dress by the maids sent from Lord Alazuir, I temporary rested and sat on the comfy bed.

*A FEW HOURS LATER

I finally saw the movement of the door opening to Violet's dressing room and I was once again speechless.

In a blink of an eye, I can see how I who have absolutely no experience in romance can easily fall in love at first sight. This is due to this beautiful god creature.

I noticed that Violet's face also looked slightly red while looking at my present.

'Hahaha... I guess my charm didn't fail to get the attention of this angelic creature, huh...' I thought to myself as I slowly walked closer to Violet and kissed the back of her beautiful hand.

The maids in the room are the real definition of blushing, it is just the same like my reaction when I watched a k-drama in my previous life.

Transportation is provided as well. We will leave with this big carriage which is black and golden. On the left and right doors of this carriage there is a royal crest which symbolizes that this carriage is the royal property of The Kingdom of Zinir.

I stretched out my right hand to help Violet get into the carriage. My other hand did not forget to hold my chest, a sign of respect for royalty. After Violet entered and sat comfortably, I also entered and sat across from her. Our journey was illuminated by the rays of the moon and stars.

"U-Umm... Freya." Violet mumbled and tried to say something to me.

"What is it darling... just tell me." I said as I bent slightly forward to get a more classy look on her face.

"Do you mind dancing with me for more than one song!" said Violet loudly and rather quickly while avoiding any eye contact with me.

"Hahaha! Of course you can... I'll remind you of whatever you wanted to tell me..." I said while giving him a sweet smile.

Not long after, I could feel the carriage stop indicating that we had arrived safely. The carriage door was opened by our driver, I got out first to help Violet to get out of the carriage.

"Ack!" Violet screamed as she closed her eyes when missed a step on the stair of the carriage.

"Up! Here we go..." I said as I caught Violet slim waist weighless in the air and placed her on the ground slowly.

Everyone who was there started whispering to each other. We didn't care at all and walked elegantly in front of the entrance to the main hall. The knight guarding the door saw us and bowed to announce our arrival, the large door slowly opened.

"The long awaited arrival, Princess Violet and Sir Freya have already arrived!" as the door opened our eyes were illuminated by a bright white light which then gradually disappeared, I could see the main hall was lavishly decorated and there were hundreds of people standing on the left and to the right of the red carpet that was spread directly to the seat or throne.

We walked along the red carpet, where Lord Alazuir was visibly awaiting our arrival. I can feel people around there looking at us whether it's because they admire or gave a look full of jealousy.

After arriving in front of His Majesty, we bowed our heads to show respect and gratitude and he bowed in return.

He made us sit comfortably, he stood up to give a speech at this grand occasion.

"First of all, I would like to say many thanks to the attendees who are willing to come to this event. I would like take this opportunity to wish a Happy Coming of Age Ceremony to my daughter Violet and the other children of The Kingdom of Zinir. Let's have fun! Cheers!" Lord Alazuir said with joy and enthusiasm as he raised his glass of wine in the air.

Lord Alazuir then excused himself to chat with other nobles and King Balthasar Hesperia or he used to asked me to just called him Bel was also there.

We walked downstairs and it looked like Violet was meeting her best friend from her stay at The Kingdom of Sun, so I gave her a chance to have fun and part ways with her.

I stood at the edge of the table to take the red wine and walked over and leaned against the wall. From here I could see Violet's face which looked very happy. Suddenly my view was blocked by a lady with her peoples behind....
