In the end, Raven turned down the idea of a big birthday banquet on the pretext that they had already held too many banquets recently, and they should give it a year, at least, before they had celebrations at such a scale again.
No one disagreed with that. They couldn't be hosting parties all the time now, could they?
Mana and King Jaren glanced at each other, glad that their plans for celebrating Raven's birthday didn't involve a large scale party.
Raven was oblivious to the father daughter pair's exchange. Instead, he and General Aquila were discussing the fealty bond and the procedure to modify it.
Things went smoothly, and after Jules, Bella and Queen Carolina returned to the Sapphire Kingdom, Crown Princess Pica and General Aquila took Mana, Raven and King Jaren to visit Sable Island as promised earlier.
