The once golden banquet hall is now covered with towering tree trunks and fragrant, colorful flowers.
The vast, forest-like landscape rose abruptly from the ground, filling the nobles with awe.
However, for them, this was just a small appetizer.
Until the Elf Queen appeared and, in front of everyone present, said to Victor, "Kneel down and kiss me."
The banquet hall, surrounded by forest, fell silent instantly.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, frozen in place, speechless with astonishment.
Like golden wax figures, they were deeply immersed in this endless banquet forest.
As for why they were so shocked?
Because the person who said those words was none other than the Elf Queen, the queen of the entire Elf race!
The mystery surrounding the elves was enough to make these nobles feel their hazy, noble air.
And Kokot, as the Elf Queen, is in their hearts.
Its status was so high that it was like a star in the sky, unattainable.
However, this proud and mysterious figure openly asked Victor for a kiss in front of everyone!
It was as if she wanted to tell the whole world that she admired only Viktor.
However, there is now a big problem.
So... was this Elf Queen asking Victor for a kiss or asking him for a hand kiss as a gift?
How should I put it?
There are some differences between the two, and the differences are not small.
The nobles on both sides of the red carpet gasped, and the entire place fell silent as everyone awaited Victor's reaction.
Including Prince Albany.
He was also stunned by this dramatic scene.
He never expected that something like this would happen at today's banquet.
Albany could imagine that if this news got out, every newspaper would make it their headline.
Those unscrupulous editors have probably already filtered out all sorts of inflammatory headlines in their minds.
However, he was more shocked by the magic that Victor had just displayed than by that.
The eldest prince raised his head, his gaze sweeping between the tightly barked tree trunk and the lush green leaves.
Viktor hadn't done anything, yet in an instant, the entire golden banquet hall was completely swallowed by emerald green.
It's like spring, yet to arrive, slipping out through the cracks of time.
The eldest prince's face was blank; his gaze was fixed on the clear, distinct tree trunk.
I was deeply impressed by the immense strength that Viktor displayed.
Fortunately, upon witnessing this scene, he felt not only shock but also a sense of comfort and anticipation.
After all, Victor had promised him that he would help him clear out the monsters that had appeared in the south.
Although he had indirectly experienced Victor's power in the South.
However, compared to that, witnessing firsthand the ceremony where this power changes the entire situation is undoubtedly more awe-inspiring.
The stronger Viktor became, the more at ease he felt.
At this moment, no one in the banquet hall dared to make a sound, as the atmosphere inside was rather delicate.
They were all waiting for Viktor's response.
However, Cocotte, the person involved, seemed completely unaware of the atmosphere.
She maintained her mischievous and smug expression, leaning back slightly, extending her arms, and wearing a proud smile.
She waited for Viktor to kneel down and kiss the back of her hand.
Although Cocotte appeared confident on the surface, she was actually muttering to herself inwardly.
Lia said she should have done what she said at the beginning...
...
"In our empire, nobles pay great attention to etiquette."
At that moment, Koko was so engrossed in her makeup that she couldn't move, her eyes fixed on herself in the mirror.
The elf was naturally beautiful, with flawless skin.
Although she doesn't need human cosmetics, Lia still tries her best to enhance her appearance and make her look as perfect as possible.
As Lia added details to her face, she said:
"One of the etiquettes is the kiss on the hand, which best embodies the gentlemanly manners of men."
Kokote looked at his increasingly perfect reflection in the mirror, his eyes sparkling.
That gentle, jade-like face was like a gemstone fallen from the sky, naturally sculpted with almost perfect features.
She hadn't looked at herself closely yet, and now she realized how good-looking she was.
Although he was immersed in admiring his own beauty, Kokot still kept in mind what Leah had said.
"So when you come out today, you can try asking Victor for a kiss on the hand."
Lia continued:
"This not only demonstrates Victor's gentlemanly conduct, but also reflects your distinguished status."
Upon hearing this, Cocotte's eyes lit up.
After all, Victor was her boss, and the thought of him kissing her hand as her boss made Cocot very excited.
Lia helped her change into a flawless white dress and tidied up the last strand of her hair.
Koko looked at his reflection in the mirror, which was filled with pride and anticipation.
"Most importantly, let other people know."
“You were invited by the Clavner family.”
...
Victor watched Kokot, who was tilting his head back with a mix of pride and mischief, and raised an eyebrow.
His gaze subtly shifted from Kokot to Leah.
Seeing Liya hiding to the side, arms crossed, with a subtle expression, a half-smile on her face.
Sure enough, things turned out exactly as he had guessed.
