Chapter 298: The Speech By The King
The grand hall was now a sea of anticipation, vibrant with activity and energy. The air shimmered with the scent of spiced wine, freshly baked pastries, and the floral arrangements that adorned every corner.
The guests whispered and chuckled among themselves, filling the space with a melodic hum that only heightened the sense of grandeur.
As the herald announced each name, the princes and princesses began to enter one by one, their steps slow and majestic, radiating the dignity expected of their station.
Each royal family member was dressed impeccably, their garments reflecting not just wealth but the artistry of master tailors.
First came Prince Alaric, his broad shoulders framed by his deep navy attire trimmed with gold, a regal presence that demanded attention. By his side, Salviana glided with grace, her emerald and brown dress catching the light with every step.
Their synchronized movements spoke of elegance and power, a duo that turned every head as they made their way to their designated seats.
Behind them, Prince Spencer followed, hand in hand with his wife, their expressions solemn but proud.
Spencer’s tunic of royal green bore the intricate patterns of his house, while his wife dazzled in a muted gold gown that sparkled subtly under the chandeliers.
The princesses, each with their own flair, entered next, their gowns trailing behind them like rivers of silk and lace.
Princess Genevieve was as commanding as ever in her crimson gown, walking with a stern composure that dared anyone to look away.
