Dinner with the Byzantine Emperor

While the preparations for the upcoming weddings to both Linde and Honoria were being fulfilled, the Byzantine Emperor Vetranis Palaiologos and his family were seated at Berengar's table, enjoying a feast that had been prepared for Austria's guests from the East. 

An alliance between the Kingdom of Austria and the Byzantine Empire had been negotiated due to the upcoming marriage between Berengar and Honoria. Despite this fact, tonight was the first time that Berengar had entertained his young fiancee's family. Aside from Vetranis himself, he was meeting the members of Honoria's family for the first time.

Sitting beside the Byzantine Emperor was his wife, Empress Olympia Palaiologos, who was exceptionally beautiful in her own right. She looked like a mature version of her daughter, aside from the purple-dyed hair that Honoria had. Berengar was quite pleased with this, as it meant that when Honoria was her mother's age, she'd still be an exceptional beauty.
