Capítulo 56: Chapter 48: A Feast of Affection
The room filled with anticipation as Christina, accompanied by a group of young maids, entered with a food cart adorned with tantalizing dishes. The aroma of freshly baked pizza wafted through the air, instantly awakening their appetites. Christina, her tsundere demeanor evident, approached them with a mix of pride and a hint of bashfulness.
"Tonight's dinner is Seafood Pizza," she announced, her voice carrying a touch of tsundere charm. "It's a specialty from Narumi's hometown, but don't get the wrong idea! I'm not making it because I thought you'd be homesick or anything. It's simply because I wanted to give it a try, that's all!"
Christina Aurestear, the wise princess of the Aurestear Kingdom, possessed an enchanting beauty that captivated all who beheld her captivating purple eyes and long wavy light purple hair. Her tsundere demeanor both intrigued and enchanted those around her, but it was her place in Narumi's heart that held the utmost importance.
Narumi's eyes locked with Christina's, and he couldn't help but smile at her characteristic tsundere attitude. "I've always known that you worry about me, Christina," he reassured her, his smile radiating warmth. "And I truly appreciate your willingness to make this Seafood Pizza, a specialty from my hometown, just for me."
Christina's cheeks flushed ever so slightly, a blend of embarrassment and affection. "Don't misunderstand," she retorted, her tsundere facade still intact. "I just thought it would be a good opportunity to expand my culinary skills. It's not like I did it for you or anything!"
Seraphina's eyes sparkled with excitement as she eagerly approached the food cart. "Seafood Pizza sounds amazing! I can't wait to taste it," she exclaimed, her innocent enthusiasm filling the room. She offered to help serve, but the young maids insisted it was their job, ensuring everything was presented with utmost elegance and care.
Amelia, her gaze fixed on Christina, her voice filled with admiration. "Christina, if I'm not mistaken, these exquisite seafood ingredients come all the way from my Borwinter Kingdom, don't they? It's incredible to see how Narumi-sama's inventions have not only revolutionized military and government affairs but also greatly improved the efficiency of merchant transport routes."
Christina nodded, a glimmer of appreciation shining in her eyes. "Indeed, these seafood ingredients were flawlessly delivered to our royal capital by the Floating High-Speed Bus, a testament to Narumi's ingenuity. But don't misunderstand me; I'm not offering praise. It's simply expected from someone who dares to call himself my partner to possess such remarkable abilities."
Seraphina, captivated by their conversation, couldn't contain her excitement. Her eyes sparkled as she chimed in, "That's amazing! Narumi-nii-sama's Floating High-Speed Bus is truly incredible! I can't wait for the merchants from my Dustmoon Kingdom to start utilizing it as well!"
Narumi, filled with warmth, gently stroked Seraphina's head and beamed at everyone. "Thank you, everyone. Your smiles and happiness are all the validation I need. If my inventions can bring joy to your lives, then that is more than enough for me."
As they gathered around the table, a sense of anticipation and gratitude filled the air. The young maids carefully sliced and served the pizza, adorning each plate with a colorful array of fresh seafood, melted cheese, and fragrant tomato sauce. The room soon resonated with the delightful symphony of laughter and conversation as they savored each bite, celebrating not just the flavors but also the shared journey they had embarked upon.
Narumi glanced around the table, his heart filled with gratitude for the incredible individuals by his side. He raised his glass, a gesture of appreciation and love. "To the bonds that bring us together and the moments that make our hearts sing," he proposed, his voice brimming with sincerity.
Amidst the clinking of glasses, they raised their own, their eyes meeting in a silent acknowledgement of the profound connection that bound them. In that shared toast, they embraced the joy of the present and the promise of a future filled with even more beautiful moments.
And so, they continued their feast, savoring each bite, cherishing each other's presence, and creating memories that would forever nourish their hearts. In the warmth of that room, their spirits intertwined, forever bound by love, trust, and the shared feast of affection.
As they finished their meal, Christina took a deep breath, her eyes reflecting a mixture of earnestness and concern. She gathered her courage, knowing that the news she was about to share would have a significant impact on their plans for Narumi's upcoming birthday celebration. "Narumi," she began, her voice laced with both anticipation and unease, "I have something important to tell you. My father, the king, has expressed his desire to host a grand birthday ceremony in your honor."
As she spoke, a wave of emotions washed over Narumi, his mind racing to comprehend the magnitude of such an event. He had envisioned a small, intimate gathering with only their closest friends, a celebration where they could cherish each other's presence in a more personal setting.
"He wishes to use your birthday party as a platform to bring together diplomats from every country on this continent," Christina continued, her voice filled with a mixture of admiration and concern. "The purpose is to discuss how we can share your remarkable inventions and technology with the world, promoting unity and progress."
Christina's eyes filled with genuine regret as she spoke, knowing the impact her words would have on Narumi. "I apologize, Narumi. I know you had hoped for a more private affair, surrounded only by those dearest to us. But my father believes that your inventions have the potential to shape the world, and he sees this event as an opportunity to initiate important discussions and collaborations."
Narumi smile as he looked at Christina, understanding the complexity of the situation. He placed his hand gently on hers, a gesture of reassurance and support. "Christina, I trust and respect your father's intentions. If this is what he believes to be best for the greater good, then I am willing to embrace it," he said, his voice filled with sincerity.
He smiled warmly, his eyes reflecting unwavering determination. "I may have initially envisioned a different celebration, but I recognize the significance of this diplomatic gathering. If my presence can serve as a symbol of unity and progress, then I am honored to fulfill that role."
Christina's eyes shimmered with gratitude and affection as she squeezed Narumi's hand gently. "Thank you, Narumi. Your understanding and willingness to support my father's vision mean the world to me," she whispered, her voice tinged with both relief and adoration.
In that moment, they shared an unspoken understanding and commitment, reaffirming their bond and the trust they had in each other. Their journey was no longer just about their personal desires but also about the impact they could have on the world around them. Together, they would embracing the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead, knowing that their love and unity would guide them through even the most uncertain of paths.
