The banquet finally began, and the planned dramatic entrance of the two little dragons went off without a hitch.
Within a matter of seconds, Alya had won the hearts of every single person attending the banquet – well, almost everyone. Some people were dying of envy, actually.
King Orion of the Amber Kingdom, for example, was one of the people who fell in the latter category. He looked at Crown Prince Jules of the Emerald Kingdom and Princess Mana of the Emerald Kingdom sitting ahead, up at the centre table with Queen Carolina of the Sapphire Kingdom and King Jaren of the Emerald Kingdom and the two beautiful little dragons, and then he looked at his own son, Crown Prince Mars of the Amber Kingdom – who was still acting like a besotted fool with the third royal child of the Emerald Kingdom – Princess Astra.
