King John got up, took Tia's little hand, and went up the stairs of the inner sanctum. The group followed and came to the banquet hall of the inner sanctum.

A large mural on the ceiling depicts the creator god pointing to a distant ear of wheat as people plough their heads and try to share their food with others.

In the middle of a long dining table, a row of delicate candles divides the guests into left and right sides. In front of each seat, a beautiful glass of caluxe is placed. Moo Moo followed everyone all the way, smelling the aroma of food, and couldn't help but drool. If it hadn't been for Ilte's left hand grasping his ear, he would have been lying on the table by now.

King John and His Highness Helena beckoned everyone to sit down, with the maids standing on either side. A simple but warm welcome party began. One by one, the delicacies were placed on the table under the urging of spells. The feast then began.

Since leaving Obasan's home, they have not enjoyed food like this for a long time.

King John raised his glass and said,

"Welcome, young warriors, and my lovely princess, back to our arms! You're welcome! Hahaha! ”

A benevolent and wise king will bring happiness to the word, to convey it, to infect everyone.

A happy and relaxed banquet unfolded like this, and the young people talked and laughed. And King John and Helena were infected by the power of youth, as if they also felt that they had returned to the adventure time when they were young. He couldn't stop clasping his fingers and staring at each other. Memories swirl in your mind like a music box.

Tia whispered softly to Alan from the side, King John had always advocated frugality, and generally did not hold grand banquets lightly, unless it was a visit from a lord or king from another country. A grand welcome party will be held out of courtesy. Moreover, Queen Helena also told Tia that Alan and Ilt were her friends, just like her own children, and since they were a family, there was no need to pay attention to the superficial etiquette.

Gradually, the atmosphere infected everyone present, and even the maids who were not smiling on both sides were amused by Moo Moo and Ilte's tricks, and couldn't stop pursing their lips. King John didn't stop talking, and laughed. Everyone is like an ordinary family in the royal capital. Two parents, inviting their daughter and her two best friends. Sitting around the dining table, chatting about home cooking, and tasting gluttonous food. Maybe such a time can be called life.

The fiery red in Alan's eyes kept beating, maybe it was candlelight, maybe it was tears. This reminded him of the happy days of his childhood. Even if the table is worn, although the cutlery is worn, candles will be lit. We enjoyed the delicious pie made by my mother. Even if his mouth is full and he eats on his clothes. His mother would not blame him either, she would only caress and stroke Ellen's hair tenderly. And his father, with his big warm hands, will wipe the jam off the corner of his mouth......

Because of the mother's departure and the father's persistence. He may have forgotten the warmth that really exists in this world. However, Alan always remembered that his adventure was to protect this warmth from destruction. He understands his specialness, but he can't use it,

Thinking of the emotion, Alan couldn't help but get up and raise his glass,

"Your Royal Highness King John, Your Highness Helena, I wish you both a long and healthy life!"

King John and Helena looked at each other and nodded, raised their glasses to Alan, and drank a glass of each.

The feast continued in a joyous atmosphere, and Moo Moo held his swollen round belly and burped in his chair, fantasizing that he would be able to eat another full meal when everyone was asleep.

Looking at Moo, who was already sitting in the chair with a stupid face, Ilt urged a small spell in the air, and a mouth identical to Ilte's appeared in its ear, and then shouted,

"Ah!! ……”

Moo instantly a spirit, planted in the jam in front of him, and instantly the jam was mushy.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw it, and King John took the lead in laughing, and the time came to midnight in such a relaxed atmosphere.

After the meal, Tia pestered Queen Helena to go back to the room to chat. Ilt said he was going to walk alone, and went to the outside of the temple alone. Moo Moo had already fallen asleep and was placed in a cute little room.

Alan and His Royal Highness King John were walking in the corridor under the starlight and daylight.

"Tia, I have always grown up under the care of me and Helena, and I have worked hard for you all the way back."

"Tia... I mean, Your Highness the Princess, she's very intelligent, she knows how to protect herself, and she relied on her own strength to protect herself until she met me. I am not afraid of you laughing, many critical moments, but rely on Her Royal Highness the princess to ensure safety. ”

Alan thought about Tia's sacrifice of his life in the mine, and his own strength still needed a lot of training.

"Your relationship seems to be better than I thought, hahahaha."

His Royal Highness King John's hearty laughter infected Allen again,

"Since you're friends, there's nothing wrong with calling you by your first names, but only between us!"

I never thought that the king of the Stuart Kingdom, which has the strongest comprehensive strength on the continent of Aurelast, would have such a humorous side, and the corners of Allen's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"Your Royal Highness King John, we have also encountered some frightening difficulties in this adventure, and there are some things that need to be consulted by you again."

Allen gets the conversation off the hook.

"Yes, Tia has been very well-behaved since she was a child, and she always wants to keep us from worrying, and I know that this journey will not be as smooth as she said, but it doesn't matter, don't scruple."

"Your Royal Highness King John, in fact, Tia and I are being hunted by demons. At first, I thought that the target of their hunt was me, and that Tia was only implicated. But gradually, I felt that it was all coming for Tia. ”

Alan told King John some of the details, but King John just listened quietly on one side, with his thick golden beard. And the expression is very calm, not very surprised.

"Hey..."

Finally, when Alan finished speaking, King John sighed, and his golden brow furrowed deeply,

"Tia's background is confusing, but it's a long story. Her mother and I thought about it for a long time when we got Tia, and decided to keep it a secret for now, but now, it seems, it's time for her to know. Alan, it's not early today. Since you are so close to Tia, tomorrow, you and Tia will come to the council, and I have something important to announce. Let's go back and rest early."

With that, King John patted Allen on the shoulder and turned to leave. Alan respectfully knelt down on one knee and waited for King John to leave. After John left, he stood alone in the hallway, looking at the sky in distraction.

"It's been a long night, perhaps..."
