Banquet Of Chestnuts Novels & Stories

She asked, cleaning her tears. "Do you need my canines in your neck before you understand simple words? Or did you suddenly have issues understanding sentences?" I asked her angrily. "I'm sorry". She said, quickly getting off the bed. "So you heard me before". I scoffed. The blood garden was the royal palace garden, also known as the red path. Everywhere in the garden, red flowers of every specie and type littered it. All trees beared red fruits. The floors were red. "Should I change first Dracula?" She asked.

"Buy chestnuts. Grandma had a favorite roasted chestnut store here. I will bring a pack home every time I come back." Helma looked at the small square outside. There were some small shops around the square. The landscaping was excellent, and there was a beautiful little forest. She held her chin. This place was familiar, as if she had been here before. Ten minutes later, Jordan came back with two bags of chestnuts. The rich aroma lingered in the carriage. Helma squinted his eyes. It smelled very sweet. Cole seemed to notice her craving. He asked Jordan for a pack and handed it to Helma.

Felix was well aware that Warren would never lie in his life, so it must have been Sasha who suggested it. However, it didn't matter to him. He could tolerate it as long as it wasn't too much. Besides, he had already promised Wendy he would attend the banquet. The process didn't matter as long as the outcome was right. The scale of the Kinsley family's banquet was impressive, with the venue set at Snowfall Manor near the suburbs. The luxury vehicles along the way indicated that Avesburgh's elites were all attending.

She remembered that when she was little, her family was poor and all the good food was kept by her grandmother, so her favorite snack every New Year's Eve was fried chestnuts with sugar. So every New Year's Eve, the two of them would grab a handful of hot fried chestnuts and find a place where there were no people and hide away to enjoy them together. Time has passed and they are not the same people they used to be. She wondered if the fried chestnuts would taste the same as before? As Leona rambled on, a voice behind her sounded surprised, "You came here to eat too?" Leona turned around and raised her eyes to look at Xavier.

The crowd cheered loudly in agreement. After Tyr said that, the doors of several banquet halls were pushed open. The waiters served meals and drinks that were prepared long ago; sea cucumber, abalone, fish, and lobster were the most common ingredients. Even the wine they served was flown in from the Nordic wineries yesterday. All of the guests were enjoying the wine while chatting with others. Meanwhile, the most important purpose of attending the hundred-day banquet to the guests at the several other halls beneath Castle in the Sky was to congratulate the birth of Tyr’s children.

The interior decoration was extremely luxurious and the high-end silver tableware looked extraordinary under the bright light. Soft piano music filled the banquet hall. The well-dressed waiters at the reception were carrying red wine and various cocktails could be seen at every corner of the reception. Many noblemen from B City were attending the reception—all of them dressed luxuriously. A few of them gathered and chatted from time to time. Monique looked around. She was like Cinderella wearing crystal shoes and a gorgeous princess costume. She naturally held onto Henry’s strong arms. As people saw them entering, the gazes of those who were chatting landed on them.

Our first official breakfast as Supreme Alpha and Luna. The hall glowed beneath towering chandeliers, their molten gold light spilling across silver platters piled with roasted venison, fresh-baked bread, and an array of fruits so perfectly arranged they looked stolen from an artist's still life. The air was a tapestry of scents, rich meat, warm honey, spiced wine, a faint bite of cinnamon that curled and lingered.

Emily Larson's shrill voice echoed through the banquet hall. "This meatball dish is something I paid a fortune to learn from a master chef at a five-star hotel. It's a perfect harmony between meat and vegetables. The broth is rich and fragrant, and its plating exquisite. How could the clients possibly be unhappy?" Hearing that familiar voice of my nemesis, I snapped fully awake and realized that I had been reborn. Her voice drew the other colleagues, who quickly gathered around.

We made our way back inside and it was time for the feast ~~~ The mansion had never looked so alive. Golden light spilled from the chandeliers above, painting the long dining hall in warmth that felt fake against the cold tension in the air. The best silverware gleamed from every table. The Beta himself had ordered rare wine from the coast. Three different kinds of meat were served roasted boar, venison, and spiced lamb each laid out in fine dishes across the central table where the pack’s high-ranking members sat. And at the head of it all, Alpha Kael.

The clinking of glasses and the cheers of our pack echoed in the room, making it feel alive with the spirit of unity and celebration. The banquet was a feast fit for royalty. Long tables groaned under the weight of roasted meats, fresh bread, and an assortment of cheeses and fruits. Delicate pastries and rich desserts were spread out, inviting everyone to indulge. The aroma of the food mingled with the sweet scent of flowers, creating an intoxicating blend that made my mouth water.
