When all the guests had been seated and the entrée had been served (and eaten so quickly that anyone watching over the banquet would wonder if they just witnessed a time jump – but then the guests would tell you that the food was just too delicious and they just couldn't resist gobbling it up), King Jaren stood up to the ring of a traditional bell to make his announcements.
"My dear citizens and my dear guests – today, you are looking at the happiest man in this world! I can't even begin to tell you how much pleasure it gives me today to announce that each of my wonderful children have found their soulmates and companions for life, and I request your blessings for all of them!" he boomed in his characteristic manner, looking very dashing and handsome, and everything a legendary king should be.
Thunderous applause greeted his warm words.
