[Bonus (-‿◦)] A Dinner Talk: Adoption!

The night had finally arrived, marking the end of a long and eventful day. Both Empires, after much turmoil, had finally come together in an uneasy yet historic union... Peace had settled, if only momentarily, as the weight of tomorrow loomed over everyone.

The citizens were brimming with excitement, eagerly anticipating the grand announcement from their rulers.

What would be declared? How would their newly unified Empire be governed from here on? Countless questions buzzed through their minds, but for now, all they could do was wait.

While the entire Empire was abuzz with speculation and anticipation, back in Frostblade's Mansion, a completely different atmosphere lingered.

The dining room was steeped in a thick, almost suffocating tension.

Crunch, crunch…

Hmm… Hmm…

Gulp, gulp…

The only sounds echoing through the large, dimly lit dining hall were the noises of chewing, licking, and swallowing.
