After the parade, the carriages returned to the palace. The streets were still alive with cheering crowds and wild celebrations. Inside the palace walls, the feast was in full swing.
Long tables overflowed with roasted meats, fruits, bread, and goblets of spilling wine. Torches blazed, their firelight falling over the royal family, warriors, nobles, and servants alike.
Drums thundered while dancers swayed, their movements both graceful and fierce. Laughter clashed with music, turning the night into a storm of noise, fire, and plenty.
It was a celebration of power, strength, and plenty.
Thornak sat at the high table. Sovereign Marcellus, Thornak's grandfather, sat on his right hand side. Kael sat on his left. On the table was also Queen Maravelle and Lord Edrion, along with several of the alphas.
