After the battle of battling the demons in the late hours before sun set, the city of Azloath regained it's peace, when the commoners received the news they cheered even more than the people who were on the battle field and praised the heavens for granting them a great emperor who is not only wise but also capable to protect his own people.
liveliness and merrier laughter could be head here and there as people in Azloath city entered in busy modes, merchants started selling their goods, shop vendors shouting for customers it was like the city didn't just pass through a calamity.
On of the streets of the city Azloath, blossom street one could smell the fragrance of various flavours coming from foods, wine and snacks.
It was very lively inside one the largest and luxurious tavern as many people were gathered around the table cheering for the man seating at the middle to drink.
DRINK !!!DRINK !!!DRINK !!!DRINK
The man held a big cup filled with a strong smell of liquor as he guped down the all liquid down his throat.
YAAAAHHHHH!!!!!
"the general is a good drinker indeed"one of the captain said and everyone followed in by throwing some comments.
"agreed"
" yes, everyone cheers for the general "
"cheers" everyone drunk their fill
Michael put down the large cup after finishing his wine he felt like he could have passed out if not for his cultivation realm been high.
One of the drunk general's came with a cup of wine to one of the tables were Athena was sitting lessuring drinking her wine.
Athena frowned as she subconsciously looked up at approaching man.
Darren Wallace a one the general from the Wallace house, came before Athena whilst holding a cup of wine
" If I can have the honor to toast a drink to you lady Athena,I hope that this toast can depend our friendship for a life time "Darren said in a drunk flattering manner.
everyone who saw this just looked over anticipating for a good show, anyone can tell that the man was trying to woo the woman from his flattery words trying to gain an opportunity to a marriage alliance.
however if it was another lady everyone could have cheered for him, but Athena she was a goddess with ethereal cold beauty her achievements are not lower than any other man she was also from the family of dukes comparable to Darren who was also from the family of generals and ministers, however her status and military rank was still higher than him.
Athena didn't even bother to think about his feelings as she rejected him coldly "no."
Darren's cheeks flashed as he didn't expect her to reject him so bruntly in front of everyone, but he didn't want to give up just like that
"is lady Athena looking down on me so much, it's just one cup and nothing else" Darren said shamelessly hiding his earlier embarrassment.
Michael and Alexander including other high rank officers sitting opposite the table frowned in displeasure this was not a place were such behaviors should be displayed, especially a military rank officer, displaying such attitude in front of his subordinates and superiors.
Athena's expressionless face turned dark her eyes were fill of disgust, if it wasn't for everyone been present she couldn't even waste a second on such meanyless matters
everyone snorted as if expected such a result from her, if Athena was easy to woo then that person must have accomplished countless luck to have her under wraps.
Everyone was waiting for what the war goddess could do, if she refused the drink then it's like equivalent to looking down on the Wallace house, if she agreed to the toast then she's giving other people chances to pursue her.
