Chapter 734: Epilogue: A Voyage Into The Future
We returned home after enjoying the sunset and told Heraz about the city’s new name. Right away, we were greeted by the banquet to celebrate Shwa’s hundredth day.
It was Shwa’s first public appearance after the naming ceremony.
In hindsight, this was better than having the banquet after the naming ceremony where Shwa was too small to understand everything. Not that he could understand everything three months later, but at least he could be awake and enjoy the attention.
Which he truly did.
"Au--aaah!" was how he greeted the audience as Natha carried him, tall and dignified, to the balcony of the Great Hall.
The baby, bigger than his peers, raised his arm like the little lord that he was, and made the audience erupt in cheer like they were at a concert. The cheer got Shwa even more excited, and he flailed his limbs, shrieking and laughing merrily. The crowd would cheer again, and Shwa hot excited again, and...
It was a cycle.
Honestly, it was amazing. Shwa hadn’t had his nap since lunch, but his energy level seemed to be as high as Jade’s. Did he get a mana injection from Alveitya too? Or was he able to sense how happy we were and wanted to celebrate it together?
He even held on while people came to talk to us, bringing gifts--except Lesta, who only brought complaints about the additional work piles up on him. It wasn’t even a birthday, but gifts were piling up almost as high as Lesta’s work. I had no idea if Shwa understood the gifts, but he seemed to love the way people bowed and curtsied at him.
Honestly? The way he looked at the guest was the same as his father, who was holding him. It was so fascinating looking at them together like that.
Should frame the still cut from the recording.
