The person of honor looked around with his pupils and saw that everything performed around well within his wishes. Even top characters from the King Grade Powers from the second level came to the Banquet Hall but he paid it no heed since only the Peak-Level King Grade Powers of the second level were allowed into this banquet hall.
Normally, such people wouldn’t even enter his eyes but he was unusually in a rare mood today, both happy and sad to care about such triviality.
In front of his seat, there was a wide table filled with delicacies. The meat was tantalizing to the extreme because the meat’s quality happened to be at the Low-Level Emperor Grade.
That meant that the meat was from an Eighth Stage Magical Beast!
These were delicacies that he, the Emperor rarely got to eat! The meat of this alone will perhaps be helpful in making the bodies of the cultivators, enhancing their Body Tempering Cultivations to varying degrees.
For example, just by having a piece of this specially prepared meat, a First Stage Body Tempering Cultivator has a 60% probability to break through to the Second Stage.
For him, it at least had the ability to improve his Martial Master Stage Body Tempering Cultivation a little bit! Hence, his mouth couldn’t help but drool at the same time!
Beside him, a lovely and elegant woman sat, reserving the seat closest to him. She wore royal robes that were of extreme quality and wore accessories that enormously accentuated her beauty and majestic demeanor.
These two were none other than the Emperor and the Empress of the Ethren Empire, Kaiser Ethren, and Iona Ethren.
Dishes at the Low-Level Emperor Grade were only reserved for a select few, including the promising Princes and the extremely desirable Princesses who sat near to the Emperor, their father.
Crown Prince Hadre Ethren, Second Prince Keith Ethren, and even the Third Prince Alexi Ethren sat near their father. There were also a few Princesses who were regarded highly as a tool for a political marriage.
As for other dishes that were at the Peak-Level King Grade, they were placed on the table of people of just lost to a bit of them in status and cultivation, such as the following important Princes and Princesses.
Like this, the division and placing of the meat itself told people their class and statuses, forming a hierarchy in the Banquet Hall.
That said since this was a banquet of massive scale, numerous dishes were sent out to the fringes of the Banquet Hall, even being carried out to the second level by the palace maids. Sometimes, they even have to face harassment and the pressure caused by those people who were at the fringes and are dissatisfied with the placing of their seats and meat.
However, these matters were taken care of the guards placed to take care of the security.
"That Conferred Queen seems to have rejected the invitation I sent it seems..." Kaiser Ethren, the Ethren Emperor slowly said.
His Empress gave him a side-eye before casually asking, "Is my Emperor disappointed?"
"Disappointed? Not at all. I just find it regretful that a natural opportunity like this to meet the Conferred Queen has been pushed away just like that. It pains my heart to see this happen."
Iona Ethren blinked elegantly as she jested in a fawning tone, "Does my Emperor perhaps want..."
"Iona..." Kaiser Ethren abruptly frowned, "Watch your words in a public stage..."
"Yes, my Emperor..." Iona slightly bowed but she knew her husband best. Her eyes flashed with a meaningful glint. There was no way her lecherous husband would let go of authentic prey. Only this time, the prey seemed to be off-limits since her background is still unknown and rumored to be powerful.
======
On the second level of the Ethren City, the square in front of the flight is stairs were already turned into a Banquet Hall.
The crowd was even more alarming than the one gathered at the third level. More than ten million people were partaking in the banquet of the second level!
Such grandness left millions speechless, making the majority of the people present to speak about the grandness and generosity of the Royal Ethren Family. There were even live projections in the Banquet Halls of the eight districts, displaying the ongoing banquet of the third level through a formation.
The main characters could be seen in all their glory and people were yearning if they couldn’t be seated on the third level one day.
In a bustling corner of a long row of individual tables, sat three people occupying a single table, feasting on the meat except for a single person.
It was none other Davis!
"Why don’t you eat too?" A female voice echoed.
To the left of him sat Claire, and her upper face above her lips was covered with a mask.
Davis pursed his lips. He didn’t eat because he was currently masked and a soul body type avatar like him didn’t need to eat either.
"Mother, I thought I’ve already told you before. This avatar is made up of soul essence, hence, it is similar to a soul body. I cannot eat and digest unless the meat has soul-nourishing properties."
Davis sent a Soul Transmission to his parents.
"Claire, stop telling him to do this, do that all the time. Your son can think for himself..." Logan who sat to the left of Claire chimed in.
"I know, I know..." Claire exasperatedly uttered and continued to feast over the piece of meat that was graded at the Peak-Level Sky Grade. It was remarkably delicious that it made her want her son to try it as well.
It’s been more than a week since Davis had left along with Evelynn to the Sunset Tear Mountain, a Magical Beast Territory.
At the beginning of the week, she had requested Davis to have them be accompanied on their tour since she didn’t want to make trouble.
They had to roam outside and sightsee but what if something happened?
On the basis of this reasoning, she had to warn and request Davis for his permission and he accepted. She became so pleased that she almost pecked him on his cheeks. After all, as a mother who had married her son off, she had been prepared to be rejected.
With Evelynn occupying all his free time while the avatar concentrating on learning other things like Alchemy, she had been afraid that he would reject.
Hence, she became glad that her son did not neglect her after getting married.
Even if Davis had his previous memories from childhood, he was still her first child and there was no change in that fact. She did not ostracize him from the beginning and she did not do so even after being plotted against, making her fight her husband in a near life and death battle.
She understood what he did was for their sake and the affection she had for her son only increased in the process.
He, Davis held a special place in her heart, even when considering her other children. Hence, she was afraid that he would be completely be taken away from her one day even though she felt foolish to feel like this...
This feeling that most mothers felt in their lives had also started to manifest and haunt her but after this incident, she became confident that her first son would not neglect her in the future.
She had also inwardly made a decision that she would not take advantage of his time in the future, however, just this once, she selfishly wanted to spend time as a family of three.
Although the Davis beside her was currently just an avatar, she was satisfied with the time spent this week nonetheless.
