The manor was adorned with exquisite decorations, and the aroma of delectable dishes wafted through the air. Lively music filled the halls, and guests mingled, exchanging captivating stories and joyous laughter.
Such a wonderful evening, relishing a beautiful event with diverse culinary delights to savor and beverages to indulge in until the dawn breaks.
Even if the host of the party was not present, the celebration was still of the highest caliber.
Resounding trumpets echoed through the room as it was time to welcome royalty into the party.
"The festivities will commence as we welcome the prince of Durrani, the prince of maidens' hearts, Prince Liam."
Everyone rose as they bowed their heads to acknowledge the prince of their kingdom.
"We also welcome the co-host of this event, our esteemed adventurer: Lord Darrick."
Everyone applauded as they welcomed him, including Prince Liam.
The friends embraced each other in front of the gathering as they sat side by side.
The event continued as they welcomed Prince Caspian and Denmark as well as other distinguished guests from various parts of the town.
"Liam, ever-present at every social gathering," Caspian said as he greeted Liam.
"Darrick," he acknowledged in a low tone, and Darrick replied with a nod.
"Well, what can I say? I am the life of the party," Liam replied with a smirk.
"But a disgrace to the Elrod royalty, no wonder your father wishes to bestow your position upon your illegitimate brother," Caspian insulted without hesitation.
Liam was shocked to learn that such news had left the palace.
"Don't tell me the prince of Durrani is surprised that we are aware of such information," Denmark remarked.
"I have eyes everywhere, Liam," Caspian said with a grin.
"I don't think you should be mocking me, Caspian," Liam replied with great anger.
"I've heard you are about to lose the castle due to your irrational decisions; staying in the woods has brought about some intriguing gossip," Darrick countered.
"You... little," Caspian was about to say.
"Let us enjoy the party, your highnesses," Darrick quickly intervened as he and Liam walked away.
"He is about to lose the castle?" Liam asked, surprised.
"Yes, so I've heard. He gambled with another king and found himself in trouble."
"He deserves it."
"Just stay away from him, Liam, at least for tonight," Darrick pleaded.
The party continued with people merrymaking, diverse music, and various games.
Until the host announced, "Your highnesses, Lords, and chiefs, we have planned a delightful game for the princes and Lords tonight, a take-home gift for your pleasure tonight and other nights."
"Here we have a line of beautiful ladies here tonight who are ready to satisfy the princes without a second thought."
"Are we ready, your highnesses?" the host asked.
"I was not aware of such a game; why was I not informed?" Darrick asked.
"It was a surprise from your father, my lord," the host replied.
"My old man," Darrick chuckled and said.
