After the contract signing, the atmosphere in the council chamber lightened considerably. The seriousness of the negotiations gave way to a more relaxed and celebratory mood. King Thandor, clearly pleased with the outcome, extended an invitation to Vincent and his team to join him for a lavish lunch prepared by the elves.
"Now that our business is concluded," King Thandor said with a warm smile, "let us celebrate our new alliance with a meal."
Vincent nodded appreciatively. "We would be honored, Your Majesty."
The group was led to an ornate dining hall. The long table in the center was laden with an array of dishes which were just the dishes they prepared for them during the celebratory banquet.
Vincent and his team ate what their stomach could handle and after that, they retreated to their room.
"I must admit, the elves do really know how to cook," Vincent commented.
