They walked over to the table together and Katherine took a seat at the head, while Charles took the seat to her right.
Eric took the seat to her left, and Jasper sat next to him, much to Eric's dismay. Everyone else took random seats wherever they found an empty chair at the long table.
Once everyone was seated, the kitchen staff brought everyone's meals to the table before they found seats themselves.
Everyone sat very still, unsure of if they needed permission to start eating since they were dining with the Queen herself, and Katherine immediately noticed the tension.
She was about to tell everyone to start eating, but just then Eric cleared his throat, picked up his glass of wine, and pushed his chair out to stand.
"Let's raise a glass to our new Queen and her generous spirit. She already is proving to be a blessing for Helios. All hail Queen Katherine Mors of Helios!" Eric said as he proudly looked to his right at Katherine.
