Chapter 141: Eric’s Late Party
"...I summon thee as the master of the seven seas!" Eric boisterously declared, lifting his fork high in the air, mimicking Anna’s gesture of summoning the storm during the encounter with the pirates.
Embracing the moment of the show, he balanced himself with one leg on the chair and the other firmly planted on the floor, towering over the captivated crowd that watched in awe.
The knights enthusiastically applauded, their hands clapping with joy, fully immersed in the play unfolding before them. Rachel’s eyes sparkled with fascination among the onlookers.
Rafe scoffed in disagreement, his disapproval evident.
"The words may be accurate, but the actions are being exaggerated!" He directed his attention to Alex and Drystan, shaking his head. "He’s putting on a show! Please don’t completely buy into it!"
"I do not doubt that our lady spoke with confidence. However, I highly doubt she dramatically raised the dirk to the sky like that," Ayden chimed in, voicing his scepticism.
"Oh, come on, Mr Amares and Mr Norman! Regardless, this is undeniably the most thrilling part!" Rachel exclaimed, her voice brimming with astonishment and delight.
Eric’s smile widened.
"You never fail to be mesmerised every time I recount the tale," he remarked, enjoying the captivated reactions of those around him.
The room was filled with an air of enchantment as Eric’s storytelling prowess and theatrical flair brought the adventurous tale to life. The guests were transported to the event of the ploy when Anna triumphantly fooled the pirates.
"Who wouldn’t? I’ve never met anyone as daring as her!" Rachel exclaimed with admiration.
