Chapter 813 Culinary Disaster
The news about the Clover Kingdom's reinforcements spread like wildfire. People couldn't believe it. The demons were finally done for, and everyone was over the moon! Gratefulness surged through the citizens' veins as they couldn't wait to show their appreciation to General Qin Mo and the soldiers who saved their asses.
In the swanky Royal Hall, with fancy chandeliers and snazzy tapestries, the excitement was palpable. The King, feeling all high and mighty, decided to throw a big ol' banquet to celebrate the victory. And guess who got the golden ticket? Cole, Dave, and Danny, the badasses who kicked demon butt!
The doors swung open, and boom! The crowd went wild! People jumped to their feet, clapping and hollering like there was no tomorrow. Cole, standing tall and proud, took in the scene with a mix of humility and gratitude. He nodded and gave thanks to the folks who cheered him on, a little smile playing on his lips.
Dave, the mysterious dude with his decay-inducing touch, surveyed the room with his piercing gaze. The citizens, a little bit scared but mostly in awe, couldn't help but show their appreciation. Dave gave 'em a nod and a small smile, like he was saying, "Yeah, I did my thing, no big deal."
And then there's Danny, the master of elemental destruction. People couldn't stop staring at him, their jaws hanging loose. His presence alone made 'em weak in the knees. But Danny, cool as a cucumber, showed his gratitude with a humble nod and a genuine smile. Man, the crowd couldn't get enough of him!
As the cheers died down, General Qin Mo stepped forward, his voice booming across the hall. "Hey, folks!" he called out, his pride shining through. "These soldiers right here? They're the reason we can party tonight! Give it up for Cole, Dave, and Danny! They're the real deal!"
The crowd erupted into wild applause, screams, and whistles. The King, feeling all sentimental, stood up and raised his glass. "Here's to Cole, Dave, and Danny!" he proclaimed, his voice full of gratitude. "You guys saved our sorry butts! We owe you big time! Let's get this party started!"
And party they did! The Royal Hall transformed into a wild fiesta of music, laughter, and clinking glasses. The soldiers mingled with the citizens, swapping stories and reliving the epic battles. It was a night of camaraderie, a night where heroes were hailed and the troubles of the past were forgotten.
the royal banquet was in full swing in the opulent Royal Hall. Laughter and chatter filled the air as guests indulged in a feast fit for kings. The King, seated at the head of a long, lavishly adorned table, savored the festivities, his spirits high and his appetite eager for culinary delights.
Just as the merriment reached its peak, a hush fell over the room as a renowned chef from a distant land made his grand entrance. The guests, their curiosity piqued, turned their attention to the esteemed culinary artist as he approached the King with a flourish.
With a deep bow, the chef presented a dish, a masterpiece of vibrant colors and tantalizing aromas. The King's eyes widened with anticipation as he picked up his silver fork, ready to embark on a culinary adventure.
However, as the first morsel touched the King's tongue, a look of utter horror twisted his regal features. His eyebrows furrowed, his eyes bulged, and his lips pursed in disgust. The once-expectant smile vanished, replaced by a grimace that threatened to consume his entire face.
The guests, initially taken aback, couldn't contain their amusement any longer. Snickers and stifled laughter rippled through the hall, threatening to erupt into a full-blown uproar. They exchanged amused glances, trying their best to hold back the hilarity that threatened to burst forth.
The poor chef, his face turning as red as the sauce on the disastrous dish, stumbled back, a look of mortification etched across his features. He stammered, desperately searching for words to rectify the situation and salvage his reputation.
"Your Majesty," he began, his voice trembling with embarrassment, "I... I apologize profoundly. It seems... there must have been a terrible mistake. I assure you, this dish is not a reflection of my true culinary expertise."
The King, still recovering from the taste bud assault, mustered all his regal composure to address the baffled chef. "A mistake, you say?" he muttered, his tone a mix of disbelief and annoyance. "This dish is... an affront to the very essence of taste!"
The guests, barely able to contain their amusement, exchanged glances once more. It was a sight to behold, witnessing the mighty King subjected to such a culinary catastrophe. Their stifled laughter threatened to burst forth again, teetering on the edge of disrespect.
The chef, his face flushed with humiliation, continued to babble apologies and explanations, his words jumbled in his panic. He desperately tried to salvage his reputation, but it was clear that the damage had been done.
As the tension eased and the guests regained their composure, whispers filled the hall. "Did you see the King's face?" one guest snickered. "I haven't witnessed such culinary disaster in ages!" another chimed in, their voice carrying a mix of amusement and relief.
Meanwhile, the King, having recovered from the initial shock, raised his hand to quell the rising amusement. "Enough!" he declared, his voice resonating with a mixture of exasperation and amusement. "Let us not dwell on this... unfortunate incident. Bring forth the next course, and may it be a more... palatable experience!"
The guests, now composed but still filled with mirth, chuckled and resumed their conversations, eager to move on from the culinary calamity that had momentarily disrupted the festivities. The chef, though shaken, gathered his composure and retreated from the royal presence
...
The royal banquet was in full swing, with guests mingling and enjoying themselves. Suddenly, the music changed, and a group of dancers entered the hall. They twirled and spun, their colorful costumes shimmering under the light. Everyone watched in awe, including General Qin Mo, who had been sipping on some wine.
As the performance came to an end, one of the dancers approached Qin Mo. "General, would you care to dance?" she asked, smiling sweetly.
