5 Chapter 5 (2/2)
The Head of the INVICTUS family is LIONHEART. He is the most fearsome man in the kingdom, and INVICTUS is the most powerful family, apart from the royal family.
Even though LIONHEART is strong and had greater influence, he is completely loyal to the king and always had some pity towards Alexander. He even tried to search a way for his cure but it was futile in the end. Of course LIONHEART is none other than the father of QUEEN DIANA!
Watching his grandson recover, he felt relieved and happy inside.
After a while, the maids came in with tables carrying lots of varities of food and wine.
They contained lamb, chicken, fish, beef, lots of vegetables and white bread and variety of soups, wine, eggs, omelette and certain other foods.
All the n.o.bles enjoyed the food and of course even Alexander went to eat, hoping it would have atleast some better taste compared to his previous meals since this is a huge banquet.
After eating meat he realised ”It was a bit better than before but neverthless it still sucks compared to the food on earth and this soup is nothing more than boiled water with some meat in it” thought Alexander.
Then he went to taste the wine and after taking a sip ”Yak, yak, yak, this is not wine, this is poison!” thought Alexander
He ran towards the basin to spit it out and he felt like even on earth he didnt liked alcohol much unless it had good taste or at least some strength on it but absolutely this wine tasted like a poison to him.
Watching him puke, all the guests were looking at Alexander with a disgusting look.
”Anyway, whom are you supporting next year Warren?”asked a fat man with tummy.
”Well, it's hard to choose between the 1st prince Gerald and 2nd prince Fernando and I think there's a chance even for the 3rd princess Tilly and the 4th prince Reynold. But I heard that 3rd that princess Tilly is not interested in the throne. So what about you, Josef?” said Warren to Josef.
”Hmm, even I, don't know whom to support this time. 1st and 2nd prince are both on equal standards and both of them are cruel and cunning,”said Josef
”Ya, let's wait for now and when that time comes, we jump onto the winner's side as always,”said Wlarren with a smile on his face.
People kept chit chatting and lot of alliances were already formed within that banquet.
After a while, Queen Diana came up onto stage and said ”thank you everyone for attending todays banquet.”
”MERLIN, head of the royal mages and RICHARD head of the royal knights, I invite you both to teach my son Alexander, magic and knight arts from today,” said the Queen.
”What? Teach magic and knight arts to that dumba.s.s? seriously?” a man in the crowd thought.
Lots of commotions and murmurs could be heard in the crowd.
”Queen Diana, I am sorry to say, but I don't think it's necessary to trouble higness Alexander with teachings,” said MERLIN in a sarcastic tone.
”Yes, my Queen, it's not an offense but look at his body, he is so weak and as thin as a branch. There's no point training him in knight arts. It will instead affect his health,” said RICHARD.
”Ya, who would even want to teach a brain dead moron that magic and knight arts from the head of the royal mages and knights, haha,” said BRIAN head of Bane family
Lots of commotion broke out and everyone was laughing even though it cannot be heard much, there's still murmurs going on in the crowd.
Of course the Queen was p.i.s.sed off hearing their laughters, and not even the royal family would dare to mess up with those 6 powerful families.
”Silence!” shouted the king.
Suddenly the whole hall was silent for a moment.
”Give it a try Merlin and Richard. Teach him for one month and continue if you feel it's worth it.Otherwise, I won't force you later to teach him then,” said the king.
”As you wish your Majesty,” both of them said and nodded in unison.
Alexander, while watching that conversation, got p.i.s.sed to the core and thought, ”r.e.t.a.r.ded mother f.u.c.kers, whom are you calling a r.e.t.a.r.d? Just wait 'till I get my hands on magic. Then I will fry your old a.s.ses and show you h.e.l.l for insulting me in the crowd.”
After a while he left the banquet room and went back to his room.
A day had pa.s.sed and the banquet came to an end and everyone went back to their normal lives.
