Chapter 157
The night the knightly appointments concluded.
A banquet was held to celebrate the appointment of yet another knight from the Stark Family and the founding of a new knight order.
As Lucon’s strongest martial family, members of the royal family and high-ranking nobility were invited to uphold their prestige.
The irony was that the invited nobles bypassed Khal, the star of the banquet, and instead sought out other members of the Stark bloodline whom they supported.
“…Isn’t this a bit much? If they were going to do this, they shouldn’t have invited us at all.”
Goetz, who was standing by Khal’s side, had a face full of discontent, holding several skewers of meat and vegetables between his fingers.
Munch, munch.
Noticing sauce on the corner of Goetz’s mouth, Khal twitched an eyebrow and spoke.
“Just eat. I don’t really mind.”
“You should have some too, Commander.”
“I’m not hungry.”
Grrr.
Khal stroked the head of Bagrova, who accompanied him to the banquet. The beast closed his eyes and nuzzled into his hand, clearly enjoying the touch.
Now quite large, Bagrova’s presence was imposing enough to make some people feel intimidated.
However, since he had already received permission to bring the beast along, Khal paid them no mind.
Munch, munch.
Goetz, stuffing his mouth with meat and vegetables, remarked, “By the way, even though he looks terrifying, he’s remarkably well-behaved.”
