The two slowly got up and walked together toward the door.

Furthermore, as he passed by Erica, Ripoot gave her another expectant smile:

"I look forward to seeing you again at the banquet in a few days."

His voice was gentle and full of sincerity:

"Please make sure you attend."

Erica was slightly taken aback when she heard Ribot's voice.

Before she could even react, Lipoulter had already continued toward the gate.

Erica couldn't help but turn around and watch the two walk out the gate and board the carriage bearing the 'Cassidra Merchant Guild' logo.

After the servant closed the carriage door for the two of them, he straddled the front of the carriage, flicked the reins, and urged the horses to leave.

A familiar rumble of wheels rang out, mixed with the crisp sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground, reaching Erica's ears.

As the carriage drove away, Levi's voice slowly rose behind her:

"He is Riboot, the true head of the Reiser family."

Hearing her father's words, Erica carefully recalled what Ribot looked like.

She had just met him, but she couldn't quite remember what he looked like.

The only thing I still remember is his mysterious golden eyes.

Those eyes don't look like those of a normal human being at all.

"What did Viktor tell you?"

At this point, Reeves asked again:

Erica knew what her father was asking, so she replied very seriously:

“Professor Victor said.”

"He will handle everything."

Hearing this answer, Levi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yeah?"

"That's a reassuring answer indeed."

He turned and walked easily toward the mansion.

Erica followed behind him, and asked with some confusion.

"Father, what's the deal with the banquet?"

It seemed like everyone was looking forward to this banquet.

Reeves stopped and turned to Erica, patiently explaining to her:

"To celebrate the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Empire and the Elves, Riboot will host a banquet."

"Of course, this will be in the name of the First Prince."

Riboot was naturally not qualified to host a banquet for the elves and so many nobles, although many nobles were willing to give Riboot the face he deserved.

Thinking of what Lipoulter had told him, Levi added another sentence.

You'll find out in a few days.

...

The largest banquet hall in the empire, resplendent in gold and jade.

A long, vibrant red carpet flowed down from the center of the hall, outlining golden steps that led straight through the vast courtyard.

Bright candlelight illuminated the golden decorations, and the dome lights filled every dark corner of the hall.

In the center of the banquet hall was a long table covered with pure white linen.

Several gleaming three-candle lamps were placed on the table, making the various delicacies, desserts and drinks shine like jewels.

On both sides are tall, grand windows, with silver curtains billowing high, forming a flowing drape.

A band dressed in elegant attire hid in a dimly lit corner of the banquet hall, playing soothing music.

The nobles, dressed in their finest attire, walked one after another across the red carpet into the magnificent banquet hall.

Their smiles were like spring flowers, and their laughter, like colorful feathers, gradually gathered together, forming a joyful melody.

Outside the courtyard, carriages lined up along the edge, guarded by dedicated knights.

Bathed in soft music and candlelight, the entire banquet hall was filled with an elegant and unique atmosphere.

The etiquette of greetings did not become neglected as a result; on the contrary, it became more subtle and unpredictable.

"Lia, can't you change into something lighter?"

Kokote grumbled as he rummaged through his white dress.

She felt the clothes were too tight and uncomfortable.

Kokote grumbled as he fiddled with his white suit.

However, Kokot really liked the white tulle on both shoulders, and it felt fluffy and warm to the touch.

Although she only needs one spell to maintain her body temperature.

Lia sat in the carriage, quietly gazing out the window at the banquet hall in the distance.

A black dress with patterns perfectly accentuated her fair skin.

A long black down cloak was wrapped around her shoulders to ward off the chill of the night.

Upon hearing Cocotte's words, she glanced at Cocotte casually.

"If your chest could be a bit more lifted, I wouldn't mind having you wear some looser clothes."

"After all, this won't make them fall off."

Cocotte: "..."

I have a feeling that Lia is saying something particularly impolite.

Thinking of this, Cocotte replied sullenly:

"I'm going out for some fresh air."

So Cocotte nimbly climbed out of the car window, and the clouds outside caught her very quickly.

She sat atop the clouds in her carriage, watching the grand banquet where nobles gathered, and couldn't help but gape in astonishment.

"Wow..."

It was a banquet that was dazzling in every sense of the word.

Lia casually said something to the window.

"Don't go too far."

She then quietly sat back down in the carriage.

But, how should I put it...

Lia wasn't in a very good mood.

Because it seems Viktor is late again.

He wasn't present when I brought Cocotte to the palace last time.

If the other party still hasn't arrived this time, she really needs to give Viktor a good talking-to.

This banquet was no ordinary family gathering; its grand scale highlighted the nascent friendship that had been established between the Elf Queen and the humans.
