53 Picturesque Banque (1/2)
The whole journey consisted of weeping and teary faces and the uncontrollable cold glare released by those that were the most hurt.
Christian empathized with them because at one point everyone will have reached low bar in their life.
Words were not enough to console the emotional problems they had.
He was determined to engrave the lost soldiers' name onto a tombstone in order to commemorate their importance.
'They were the first to help propel my new future into success.'
Eventually reaching town, Christian took advantage of his geographical location to think of ways to create happiness.
”Let's throw a banquet!”
Christian was about to reach such an idea but the most elite people of his group had voiced out their desire.
The discussion over a majestic feast as well as plentiful alcohol to sate their current emotions, it became the topic of everyone's conversation.
'Drinking alcohol to drown the sorrows'
Although it was not the right method to handle it, Christian felt it was alright as long as it was only for the short term.
”Then let's hurry to the inn.”
....
”Are you sure?”
”You saw yourself how he used us like tools and only watched us wrack up profit. You tell me?”
Trying to cool the situation, a person pushed the two away from each other
”Enough is enough! We have already committed to our action and it's useless to regret it. All of us were the victims of such tyranny.”
Another added their own piece
”You're friend wasn't the only one to be killed, we're all hurt.”
The one who originally started the conversation waved his hand after this tiring yelling
”Hmmph, you're plan better work”
....
Christian was ready to give out a speech of thanks for the bravery and courage of those that fought along with him however held back
The eyes betrayed the little sanity that was left within them
Coughing to avoid saying anything, Christian instead just said a simple phrase
”Let's eat!”
It was obviously very awkward as many were not comfortable remembering what had happened and despite being in front of marvelous cuisine they couldn't resist being reminded of a crushed corpse
No one had yet to throw up from that thought.
Christian realized that this would go nowhere so he brought out the alcohol for everyone to enjoy.
Wine, vodka, rum and a variety of drinks began to be served by the waiters and waitresses.
A few were to hasty to desire forgetting those horrifying memories and began chugging the first few drinks that arrived until they were satisfied.
Christian held those few in contempt as this reminded him of spoiled nobles that were unable to do anything because of how spoiled they were.
Eventually they would become the downfall of their family.
Just the memories of useless people that he had to allow roam and take part in his kingdom was infuriating as they were a partial reason for his downfall.
'This time it won't happen'
Christian swore that he would make sure to eliminate those buffoons if they were to cross paths with him.
