Bab 249: Summer Games: Birthday Feast(Part One)

The Jousting Tournament turned out mild compared to previous years, but hardly anyone seemed to notice. The nobles and commoners alike were in a tizzy about the Crowned Prince's decision.

 Several servants and nearby spectators had heard his exchange with the king. Marco had every young woman and lass in the area wishing to be his Queen for a Day. All except one: Skye.

 After she caught up to Shasta, they headed back to the palace to change their dresses for the impending feast. It doubled as a celebration for the Victors of the Summer Games, and as Magnus' birthday party. This way, he spent less coin and time entertaining the diplomats and dignitaries.

 The bulk of them left shortly after, except those stationed within Alcon as liaisons between the kingdoms. The only diplomats that didn't stay were the Fire Nation, Sync, and Ital representatives. Although the Fire Nation's prince promised to send a permanent one shortly after he returned.
