269 The Calm Before The Storm

After the King finished, he stood up indicating that we were done eating as well. He spoke, "We will now go to the ballroom. I have taken the liberty to prepare many luxurious desserts and drinks for everyone to enjoy."

The nobles all smiled proudly. I wanted to sigh in relief from being spared from the meal, but held it in. Once we were dismissed, Simon walked with me to the next room. I was shocked to see the room decorated with the finest silks and treasures. On several tables were hundreds of different desserts and varieties of drinks. There were many servants passing out finger food and drinks to those who wanted it.

I can't believe how grandiose they made this event! I know I said to throw a party so that the nobles would stop complaining, but I didn't mean to make it THIS extravagant! For f*cks sake! There is a war going on right now!
