"Is there an independent box?" Claire asked.
Shane looked around for a moment, and then replied, "Little Princess is coming out soon. Everyone in the box has come out now, so there should still be some."
"Okay." Claire stood up, "Give me some time, I'll go get the gift for Little Princess."
"Try to hurry up, it will start in about ten minutes. At the beginning, His Majesty King should give the gift first, followed by Lady Sophia and the others, and then it will be our turn."
"Ten minutes should be enough." Claire had already chosen an unoccupied box and walked over.
Shane can only pray secretly for Claire. Remember to bring more gifts when you attend such a banquet in the future, maybe they can be used.
The nobles who were originally in the boxes and corners of the hall also slowly moved to the center of the hall, and more and more people gathered in the hall.
Shane was so anxious that he was sweating, "Claire Why haven't you come out after so long?"
After looking around in panic for several minutes, the singing and dancing music before the banquet was almost over, and then I saw Claire pushing open the door of the box and walking out.
Shane immediately stepped forward and asked, "Why did it take so long? Has it been solved?"
Claire nodded, "There was some trouble, but it has been solved." As he said that, he put the silver knife and fork in his hand back on the table.
Shane followed his hand and looked over, curious in his heart, "What did you get out?"
"It's just a small gift."
"Pretend to be mysterious, you have to take it out later anyway." Shane didn't care, and put his arm around Claire's shoulders, "Let's go, the banquet is about to officially begin."
When Claire and Shane walked back to the hall, the last song had just ended. The nobles in the audience clapped. Claire and Shane also clapped and rejoined the crowd. There were many people below, so they were not very conspicuous.
"Where is it going?" Claire asked in a low voice.
Shane also replied in a low voice, "It's time for His Majesty King to speak, so don't speak anymore."
Shane As soon as the voice fell, a tall man with a gray moustache, gray beard and a crown stepped onto the high platform. He looked to be sixty or seventy years old, but his mental appearance gave people the feeling that he was still very smart and capable, with no signs of aging.
Claire looked at the man in front of him carefully. This is the current His Majesty King——Norris*Ellis.
Norris looked around at the nobles below from the high platform, and naturally exuded an aura of momentum, which was the pressure from the superiors.
Claire lowered his head. There was no respect for the royal power in his eyes, just to avoid looking at each other and being seen, but he still thought to himself: This His Majesty Norris doesn't seem to be some mediocre King.
"Welcome everyone, today is Princess Irene's birthday party, I won't say much more, let's invite today's protagonist to come on stage." When Princess Irene was said, Norris King's eyes flashed with a hint of love.
Amidst the applause of the crowd, a pretty girl slowly walked up from the backstage holding a gorgeous skirt, with a happy smile on her face.
When he reached the center of the stage, he stopped, performed a slight courtesy towards the nobles below, and then leaned next to Norris King, his expression still a little shy.
"It's quite beautiful." Claire commented objectively.
"Indeed, Irene is getting more and more beautiful."
"Do you know each other?" Claire concluded from the other party's tone.
"We often spent time together when we were young, but now that I have gone into business as an adult, we have gradually become distant from each other." Shane said calmly.
Claire looked back in surprise. Ansier Family seemed to have a closer relationship with the royal family than he imagined. Shane could actually grow up with Princess.
Shane said, "I'm going to give you a gift."
Claire then turned his attention back to the stage. The first person to give the gift was Norris King.
He took out the exquisite gift box he had prepared from his arms and handed it to Little Princess. Irene also took it into his arms with a happy look on his face.
"What is this? Father."
Norris smiled fondly, "You'll know when you open it."
Irene uncovered the gift belt tied to the gift box and slowly opened the gift box. When he saw the gift inside, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.
"Wow, is this for me?" Irene held up a small crown, inlaid with various exquisite gems, shining under the light.
Norris touched Irene's little head, "Yes, this is the birthday gift I gave you. Happy birthday, my Little Princess, wear it and take a look!"
Irene put the crown on his head with excitement on his face, with smiles on his face.
"Thank you, Father. I like this gift very much!"
Prince Princess usually only gets the crown after he reaches adulthood, but Irene received the crown personally from Norris on his sixteenth birthday. You can imagine how much he loves Irene.
"Irene, little cutie, I have prepared a gift for you too." Sophia also stepped forward and took out a gift box from the space pendant around his neck.
"Thank you sister Sophia!" Irene said sweetly.
"Hehe, Irene is really good at talking." Sophia covered her mouth again and said with a smile, "Open it and take a look."
Opening the gift box, Irene held out two exquisite earrings, her eyes sparkling, "What beautiful earrings, I like them very much! Thank you sister Sophia!"
Sophia also touched Irene's head, "As long as you like it."
"Madam, the gem inlaid on this is Dreamstone. This gem is not easy to find. I was a little embarrassed to take out my gift." Shane's father Count Norton also stepped forward.
Dreamstone is a magic gem that not only looks good, some mages can use it to communicate with the dream world, and can even enter the dream world to exchange with dream creatures inside. However, this kind of gemstone is very scarce, so the average Archmage only has a few in his hands, so his understanding of dreams is not very deep.
If ordinary people wear it, it can have a calming effect and have a high chance of having sweet dreams, so it gets its name from this.
Sophia smiled politely at Count Norton, knowing that the other person was complimenting her with his words, and then stepped back, leaving a spot for Count Norton.
"Hello, Uncle Norton!" Irene also shouted sweetly.
A smile appeared on Norton's face and he joked, "Princess Irene why do you call me madam and sister, but call me uncle."
"Ah this..." Irene was at a loss for a moment and looked at his father nervously.
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. This is your birthday gift from your uncle." Norton took out a gift box with clothing from his Spatial Ring and handed it over.
"This is a dress that took five tailors in my uncle's shop several months to sew. Open it and take a look."
Irene opened the gift box sent by Norton and took out a very cute costume. The moment he saw it, his face was filled with joy.
"Thank you Uncle Norton, I love this dress and I will be wearing one on National Day!"
Norton also showed a kind smile, "Princess Irene, just like it. If you want any clothes, come to me. Our Ans Ayer tailor shop will always customize them for you for free."
"I'm going!" Shane next to Claire couldn't help but curse.
Claire looked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shane said with a sad face, "The gift I gave is very similar to the gift my father gave. The style is almost the same. They were both made in my tailor shop. I also spent 10,000 Gold Coins at my own expense."
Claire patted the other party's shoulder and comforted, "It's okay. At least you still have gifts, right? Mine were all made on the spot."
