Chapter 134 The Banquet Has Started
After sending her parents off, Addison watched them walk away in their official regalia. The Queen looked resplendent in a royal blue velvet mermaid gown with long sleeves that hugged her graceful figure. A sweeping train cascaded behind her, partially covering her bare back, and upon it was the intricately embroidered royal crest.
Around her neck hung a stunning sapphire pigeon necklace, and her golden crown sparkled with rare and exquisite gems, ruby, pink diamond, and blue diamond, all set into the regal metalwork. Her ensemble mirrored the Alpha King’s attire; he wore a matching white and royal blue suit adorned with a long ceremonial coat, also bearing the royal family’s crest.
Together, they looked every bit the perfect sovereign couple, poised, elegant, and timeless. Despite their age, their youthful appearance could easily pass for their twenties, thanks to their shifter lineage that slowed the signs of aging.
When they entered the grand banquet hall, the herald’s voice echoed with formal grandeur:"Now presenting His Majesty, the Alpha King, and Her Majesty, the Queen!"
At once, all attendees turned toward the grand entrance, bowing their heads and baring their necks in reverence, a symbolic show of loyalty and submission to the Alpha King as he led his Queen to the front of the banquet hall.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"..."
The crowd echoed in unison, voices full of reverence as they bowed deeply before the Alpha King. Not a single head was raised without permission. The Alpha King strode confidently to the front of the grand banquet hall, his presence commanding and formidable. Once there, he turned to face the assembly, his sharp gaze sweeping across the room until it paused on Alpha Zion, who stood respectfully in the corner, head bowed like the rest. Yet even in submission, Zion’s powerful aura could not be masked.
