The meal flew by relatively quickly; after the initial entree was laid out, a mixture of snacks and desserts adorned our tables, as well as a small assortment of sweet and savory wines.
All three women had a glass, Anput with relish while Jahi and Leone used it as a distraction.
Giving everyone some time to finish their meals and let their stomachs digest everything, Jillian and Ayla eventually moved back towards the large center, the two Elven women wearing dazzling smiles as they looked over the crowd.
Seeing our host standing in the center, everyone fell silent, waiting for her to speak again.
Clearing her throat, Jillian nodded to Ayla before grabbing her hand and intertwining their fingers together.
Returning her gaze to the assembled nobles and people of influence, Jillian grinned as she said "I hope everyone enjoyed the banquet? Again, I have to thank you all for coming; not only to celebrate a new year in my life, but also to hear my exciting news!
