Chapter 47: Snakes

Raphael

The banquet hall looked more lively today. Not all the guests have arrived yet, as the holiday will take place only tomorrow, but it was already quite crowded. I scanned the hall with my eyes, but I didn't see a single representative of Adaman. It was curious, it was unlikely that such a powerful country was not sent an invitation. What does old Pegins do?

I noticed for myself that the entire royal family was already here, including this suspicious Crown Prince, who had not taken his gaze off me from the moment Madeleine and I entered. I gave him an even more contemptuous look, grinning. Arrogant little idiot, is he thinking of competing with me? The fool.
