"Okay, then, brother, can you dance the first dance with me at the party?"

"What are you thinking about Elias, I am your brother."

Now that they are both so old, brothers and sisters should be careful to avoid suspicion. After all, usually couples or married couples will go up to show this first dance, or men and women who are in the stage of courtship, dancing together can also promote feelings, so if the pursued person agrees to dance, it means there is a chance.

"why not?"

Elias was shocked and confused.

She has been preparing and looking forward to it for so long, if she wants to, then she won't do it, but between her and her brother... why can't it be possible!

"Be polite, Elias... We are not in that kind of relationship. Don't act shamelessly."

The man lectured with a cold look on his face.

Elias was stunned for a moment after hearing what he said. Then, anger and shame appeared on her beautiful face. She almost didn't know how to speak.

"What did you say, brother..."

It really feels like self-humiliation, so infuriating!

If you don’t want to dance with her, then don’t dance. Can’t she just find someone else?

She really wanted to dance like him.

Ah!

……

Needless to say, the celebration was so lively that day. The whole royal city was filled with joy. Everyone put on formal attire and, after a worship ceremony led by the respected King in the temple square, they continued to sing and dance, praising the King's great achievements.

The most lively place was the royal palace, where the nobles competed secretly with each other, toasting each other, listening to music and having fun. Especially the noble women who dressed up best, vying with each other for beauty in the hope of pleasing His Majesty and gaining his favor.

As a wise monarch, Lakht was brave enough to accept and try new things, such as new combat formations, new weapons, and people with creative ideas, without shaking the foundation of the country.

As a unique guest, Elsia showed great interest in everything and was invited to the celebration banquet as she wished, where everything she saw was new to her.

"Who is this person?"

"Have you forgotten? She was the one who bumped into His Majesty's procession..."

"It seems that His Majesty has forgiven her..."

"Your Majesty, will you not be seduced by beauty?"

"Keep your voice down..."

"Miss Pumrit also attended the banquet..." (The High Priestess Pumrit family, it is rumored that Miss Pumrit will soon enter the palace as the future princess)

"Maybe there will be some good shows to watch."

Walking into the bustling center, hearing the whispers of these people, Elshia was sure that the protagonist of the discussion was herself.

She turned to look at the tall and slender figure in front of her. His upright posture demonstrated the majesty of an emperor.

This was the night banquet in the palace. She was also a little curious about the first princess Lakht was about to marry. Historical records showed that she and Lakht had five children in total. The eldest son was designated as the heir soon after he was born, but unfortunately died young. Then their fourth child was appointed as the heir, which showed that the two had a deep affection for each other, and Pumrit's family was also prosperous and favored.

(Unfortunately, because Lakht reigned for too long, the second heir died before he entered middle age. In the end, the throne was inherited by the youngest son of Princess Seraniti, who later became Lakht II.)

On the contrary, the queen is just a decoration. She doesn't fight for anything, as if she is trying to maintain the friendship between the two countries.

But she was just sighing, the established historical trajectory was like this, she would not be so ignorant as to clamor to change the ending of any character. Now that she could see the real person with her own eyes, she would take it as an opportunity to observe the historical figures in person.

The high priestess Finida was not present. She could have chosen not to attend.

Speaking of priests, the priest class of the ancient Assisi Kingdom is divided into the highest priest, (high) priest, attendant of God, and temple saint. Among them, the highest priest is hereditary and can be both male and female. It is said that they have the ability to convey the will of God. In the middle and late stages of the dynasty, they have great say in the king and their interests are basically consistent with the king.

The king and the priests supported each other. Even if the king tried hard to publicize himself as the ruler chosen by God and the incarnation of God on earth in order to weaken the influence and status of the priests, the king would not be so desperate as to provoke the priests. After all, the main belief of the people was to follow God and priests. If the king did not do well, he could be replaced by the priests in the name of God's guidance. This did happen several times in the history of the ancient Asis.

It is worth mentioning that, except for the temple saints chosen by the oracle who remain unmarried throughout their lives, other priests and messengers do not have this restriction.

After Elshia settled down in the palace, she was appointed as an apprentice divine servant. This was a joint decision made by the High Priest and His Majesty Laht.

In actual fact, this position was not very important. It all depended on the king's wishes and preferences. For example, when a foreigner of status came to visit and stayed for a period of time, he would be respectfully addressed as "Dona" (meaning distinguished envoy) to show respect and courtesy.

When this news spread, people were just surprised at His Majesty's generosity, and no one dared to comment on the decision.

……

Lacht walked all the way to the platform and stood side by side with the queen who was also dressed in gorgeous attire. He delivered an impassioned pre-opening speech. As the words "Enjoy the singing, dancing and fine bars" fell, everyone cheered and the banquet officially began.

"Emissary Elshia, have you ever attended a banquet like this before?"

Walking into the hall, Laht took advantage of a moment of free time to look at the girl beside him, tentatively and with a hint of showing off.

"No."

Elshia shook her head honestly. This was indeed her first time traveling through time and space to the ancient country of Asis. However, she read in historical records that the sacrificial ceremonies and gatherings related to worshipping gods in the temple were more grand than this. It was a pity that she missed it.

"Oh? Then I hope you can enjoy the wine and food here without any restraint."

"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty."

Elshia smiled at him politely, and belatedly added a nod and bow. Laht probably wouldn't mind it. He seemed to be quite tolerant of her these days, although she didn't know why.

She was sure that she had never drunk much alcohol before. Wine here was the exclusive enjoyment of the royal family and the rich, and ordinary people generally drank beer. Drinking alcohol was just like drinking water. Fortunately, the alcohol content was relatively low, about the same as that of alcoholic beverages.

Elthea picked up a glass, and the deep red wine in the golden cup exuded a rich and mellow aroma. It was really like the description in their mythology: "The red wine poured on the ground was like a blood-colored lake, deceiving the bloodthirsty and warlike goddess, intoxicating her and calming the murderous madness in her heart."
