278 - Hail The Victorious (2)

Attending the Carthaginian royal banquet to welcome Julius who is the visiting monarch of their allied force, the ally the Carthaginian Queen Serena had secured and brought back to reclaim her nation from the invading Ramie kingdom.

Now Julius stood at the head table next to Queen Serena.

His wine goblet raised in front of himself as his toga flowed and shifted with his stance.

"Nobles, and warriors of the Carthaginian Kingdom, Allies of Romanus, friends and honored guests... Tonight, we do not dine as conquerors, and conquered, nor as separate nations bound by convenience, but as a single people, a single liberating force, united by fate, and the unyielding will of your Queen who refused to let this great nation fade away into history because of the actions of a few black hearted people."

A murmur of approval began to spread through the audience.
