Chapter 16 - Chapter-16 (The Banquet)

The banquet has already been started. Everyone from the big families are enjoying the banquet. Some are talking to each other, some are staying with the King. Shan Lion, Vermin and Roy Lion has ‍also been arrived at the banquet. After all family arriving the banquet went well. The king also kept a loyalty ceremony (A ceremony where every noble family's eldest son submit their loyalty to the kingdom and the king). The ceremony has began. The king is sitting in his throne and other people are standing. The eldest sons of every family's has begun to submit their loyalty to their king.

A brown-skinned boy with good muscle came in front and put on his right knee on the floor. Then he started shouting. "I 'Rohan Handol' Handol family's eldest son submit my eternal loyalty to the Kingdom and his majesty."

The king looked at Rohan Handol. "Please serve the kingdom with you heart."

After that so many noble family's eldest sons also submitted their loyalty. And at last the ceremony come to its end. But the Lofan family's head Sork Lofan started to talk with a smiling look on his face. "I heard the Lion family's eldest son also turned 19 this year. But he didn't come to submit his loyalty."

Joisan Family's head Rouk Joisan: "I think the eldest son of the Lion family can't even hold a sword. I heard he didn't even come out from his room for so many years."

Sork Lofan: "Yeah. But he came out. I think 2 days has been past after he came out. So he also should submit his loyalty, doesn't he?" Sork Lofan gave a evil look.

After hearing these, Shan Lion started to laugh loudly. "Ha... ha... ha..."

Others (Whisper): "Hey... Is the duke Shan crazy. He should be angry. But why is he laughing?"

The King: "Silence..."

Sork Lofan kowtowed, "Your majesty... You should do something about the matter. It's a law of the Keyos Kingdom. No one can break the law."

Shan Lion sighed... "I'm sorry your majesty. But my son Jun won't submit his loyalty to anyone."

The king wondered. "Duke Shan. I respect you the most in the kingdom. But that's not mean you can break the law of the kingdom."

"I'm sorry again your majesty. But my answer is the same. There is no one in the world who is capable of his loyalty."

Sork Lofan shouted. "Your majesty its... Its against the law. Does the Lion family think they're the ruler here?"

The King: "Duke Sha..."

Shan started to spread his killing intent. Everyone in the banquet are feeling pressured. "I've already clearly said it. I won't said it twice. So please try to understand everyone. If you don't than I won't have any choice."

Sork Lofan and some other noble families started shouting. "Duke Lion... Are you telling us you'll declare war against the empire."

Shan Lion got angry. "I'm talking to his majesty. So don't interrupt me. And your majesty. I've already submitted my loyalty towards you and the kingdom. But... don't even think of going against my son. Even if I don't do anything about it, you or anyone in the world can't handle him. Even I can't handle him myself. So it's an advise from me. Just leave him be. Oh... And also... I know my 1st wife's death wasn't any accident. I also know there is some family who were the cause of her death. Whoever were involved on that accident. I'm sorry.. But... Your whole family will be killed. Of course, my family won't do anything. Its her one and only son who will do that. And it's not like the lion family won't submit their loyalty towards the kingdom. But this time it won't be the eldest son. It'll be our youngest son 'Roy Lion'."

Everyone started to starring at Roy with a surprising face.

"Now that the banquet has come it's end, I'll take my leave."

Shan Lion, Vermin and Roy went out.
