Many high ranking nobles and important figures came to the party. Such as the Dukes, Marquess, and even the King! came to give Raverdieu face. There was also the head of the Guild Hunter Association.
Individually, they extended their greetings to Elle and Randell, presenting them with the meticulously prepared gift intended for Zenryx.
The gifts each of them presented were very extravagant. Items such as a dimensional ring made entirely of blue diamonds, which had a space of 12,500 square meters. It can pretty much fit a whole town. This ring has an estimated cost of ten million million CDR. Another gift that was given was a fixed wing ship, luxurious cars, etc…
The currency used on the Astre continent is called CDR, short for Centimes De Reine. If we compare the currencies between the Earth and Pontiac, then one CDR should be equivalent to five hundred dollars.
There was one Duke missing though, it was Albemont Crellon. The head of the Crellon Family, Ruler of the west side of the continent. Randell and Elle noticed this and frowned slightly.
They pondered silently, questioning whether Albemont's absence from the banquet was a deliberate act of disrespect. In that very moment, a stunning young lady, approximately fifteen years of age, adorned with purple hair and eyes, gracefully entered the premises, approaching Elle and Randell.
The girl slightly bowed at a twenty five degree angle. "Good evening, Duke and Lady Raverdieu! Allow me to introduce myself. I am Stella Crellon, the daughter of Duke Albemont. I would like to extend my sincerest apologies for my father's absence from today's banquet, as he is currently engaged in matters of utmost importance," she conveyed with an apologetic tone.
Seeing this girl come in front of them and hearing her apologetic words. Their expressions eased after knowing the reason why Duke Albemont was not here.
Stella then grabbed a sword from her dimensional storage and presented it as a gift to Elle and Randell.
"This weapon is a Tiered B Lightning Sword, due to the circulating hearsay about Zenryx possessing a unique lightning attribute skill."Furthermore, she mentioned that she possesses a card bestowed upon her by her father, intended to be presented as a gift, which holds a value of five million CDR.
Seeing the Crellons sincerity in giving such gifts. They smiled, no longer minding that Albemont was not able to attend the banquet.
After exchanging a few words with them, she breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that they no longer bothered her. She then left and joined the crowd to wait for the appearance of Zenryx.
All of the people in the city and around the continent who were watching the live broadcast were also patiently waiting for Zenryx Raverdieu.
All the gifts that were given cost no less than a million CDR. But the most expensive one was still the blue diamond ring given by the Royal King Vimoux Doomthorn.
Randell spoke and said with a grateful tone, "I am grateful for this gift, Vimoux, and I'll take it on behalf of my son Zenryx, as he is still in his room preparing."
Randell addressed him by his name, not as King or Your Majesty. But the king did not mind it, as he knew that the Raverdieu could destroy and overthrow the Royal family if they wanted to. One hundred years ago, a progenitor of the Raverdieu's came knocking at the Doomthornes door for an unknown reason.
The progenitor of the Doomthorns family woke up and because of the person who came, he was wary of the other party. He felt like he could be a crush with just the flick of the other party's finger. Following that event, Vimoux received instructions from the progenitor of his royal lineage to establish a harmonious rapport with the Raverdieus.
That is how Celestia and Zenryx became childhood friends. Vimoux wanted to build a relationship with the Raverdieu family through her daughter. So he often sent Celestia to play with Zenryx.
Right now, Celestia was also standing right beside her father, and she also greeted Elle and Randell.
Elle saw Celestia, smiled slightly, and said, "Oh little Celestia, you are here too! That's great, I have not seen you for a long time. You have become more beautiful, just like your mother!"
Lady Helene Doomthorne was also with Vimoux and Celestia. "Oh, stop it! Elle," Helene said, but she was clearly happy with Elle's praise.
Helene and Elle were close friends, and both studied together at Pontiac Academy.
"Thank you for the praise, Lady Elle. But I have a question if it's appropriate." Celestia said.
Elle responded with a smile "Go ahead, ask your question, and also stop being formal and just call me Aunt, it's not like we are strangers, right?"
"Ok, Aunt Elle, So my question was… When will Zenryx be here? It has been quite some time now, so I was just wondering." She said.
Elle was thinking and then said, "Hmm, he should be appearing soon. I don't know why he is taking so long to get ready."
Right now, all the guests have already arrived. They were all conversing, eating, drinking, and dancing, just waiting for Zenryx to appear.
In fact, this banquet was also an opportunity for a lot of people to form connections with other people.
Celestia then left the area where all the heads of each family were talking. All of the major families had no enmity with each other, so they could peacefully talk with each other.
Celestia went to look for Fiona and Daphne, as they were also childhood friends and often texted each other daily. She was called earlier by Fiona and Daphne that they were sitting together outside near the pool.
Suddenly, when she got outside, she heard two voices calling her name.
"Celesty over here!"
She looked over in the direction where the voice came from. Sure enough, it was Fiona and Daphne.
Celestia walked over to them, sat down with them, and said with a smile, "Hey."
Daphne spoke up. "Hey Fiona, your brother, it has been so long and he still has not shown up! Do you know anything about it?"
Celestia also wanted to know, so she looked at Fiona, waiting for her answer.
Fiona was thinking and said, "I don't know, to be honest, all I know is that he told me he had prepared something. He did not want to tell me and said that I would know when the banquet started.
"What a guy! Acting all mysterious," Daphne said while giggling softly.
Celestia, on the other hand, was suspicious. She felt like something shocking was about to happen.
Suddenly, a young man with purple hair who looked to be twelve years old walked towards the three of them with two people behind him who looked to be the same age as him.
The boys were fairly handsome, but if they were to be compared to Zenryx. It would be like comparing a cute cat with a blobfish or a diamond with copper.
The three girls saw this and frowned.
When the three arrived in front of the three girls, the boy who was at the front spoke and introduced himself with a smile, "Hello, young ladies my name is Waidon Crellon son of Duke Albemont Crellon."
The other two boys were about to introduce themselves also, but Daphne suddenly spoke with a sarcastic expression showing on her face, "Hohhh Waidon, you say? Then Waidon you scram out of here!"
[ Author : For anyone who didn't get the joke Waidon = Why Don't ]
Fiona and Celestia laughed when they heard Daphne's words. The other two boys behind Waidon were also trying to resist their laughter.
Waidon's face became red from embarrassment and anger, but he still calmly said, "Well, sorry for disturbing you girls."
He immediately turned around with the two boys and left the area.
Just another small episode that happened. They possessed remarkable beauty and would frequently capture the gaze of onlookers; however, with the gathering of three enticing young women, it was inevitable that they would garner an abundance of attention. However, upon being aware of their true identities, others lacked the fortitude to engage in conversation with them.
Fiona had a tear in the corner of her eye because she had laughed so hard. She wiped it with her hands and told Daphne, "You're so mean, Daphne."
Daphne giggled and just said, "That's just how you get rid of annoying pests."
Celestia also laughed slightly, then said, "Right right."
