Chapter 340 The Banquet
Everyone was now gathered in the banquet hall. Several food and drinks were served at the long table. It was accompanied by music as the moon fairies were singing to entertain everyone. Werewolves, vampires, witches, and other creatures were bonding together.
The Moon Goddess joined them. She was enjoying the harmonious scenery. Just a few moments ago, these creatures were fighting each other, but now, they were drinking and cheering for each other.
"I couldn't be happier than this. This scene makes my heart flutter," the Moon Goddess softly mumbled, pressing her hand against her chest. She roamed her eyes around, savoring this moment.
"I hope they can maintain this peace…" she mumbled with wishful thinking.
The White Witch stood next to her and followed her line of sight. Riemc also smiled as she observed everyone in the banquet hall. "The Witches and Wizards will no longer stand still. We will guard the peace of this kingdom. We are also powerful beings… powerful than werewolf and vampires."
"Hmm. But what if the witches and wizards will be the ones to break the peace? You have magical powers." The Moon Goddess was testing her.
"Of course not. We will maintain the balance of power in this kingdom." Riemc reassured her.
The Moon Goddess just let out a soft giggle. She turned to her right side and glanced at Little Lowell who was being carried by Kira, his father.
"He is the future king of this kingdom. He is the most powerful creature here… the son of the Vampire King and the legendary white wolf. He will maintain the peace of this kingdom." The Moon Goddess was putting her trust in Little Lowell.
The White Witch bobbed her head in agreement. "I want to be his godmother. I will guide him." she volunteered.
The Moon Goddess giggled once more. "I'm thinking of the same thing. Let's ask his parent's permission."
"Sure."
Riemc and the Moon Goddess were approaching Kira and Little Lowell when the door of the banquet hall was pushed open. Serafino and Gisel arrived together with the human gatekeepers from the four clans. Enrique and Natasha were included. But aside from them, two people were also invited— Grandpa Roland and Xyon Lim (also known as Mr. X).
The two men immediately searched for someone. It's Marceline. Marceline was talking to Serena and Lyca when she noticed the newcomers. Her eyes got misty as soon as she saw her grandfather.
"My Grandpa is here…"
Grandpa Roland smiled as soon as he met Marceline's eyes. His fangs showed up. Grandpa Roland was now a vampire. He managed to control his blood thirst. He was now in control of his body and thirst because of the Moon Goddess's help.
Marceline didn't waste any more time as she ran to her grandfather. The two hugged each other in front of everyone. Enrique and Natashia already knew the truth about her. She was not blood-related to the Zhou Family. Marceline was the werewolf princess of the Kingdom of Phantasia.
"Grandpa, I'm glad you are safe…" Marceline hugged him tightly.
"My princess… I know everything. But you will always remain as my sweet granddaughter." Grandpa Roland stroked her hair lovingly.
"Thank you, Grandpa," Marceline softly mumbled. She always felt grateful for the unconditional love of her grandfather.
"Grandpa… I'm getting married… to my beloved man, Kira. Give us your blessings."
"I'm giving you my blessing. I wish you happiness." Grandpa Roland kissed her forehead.
Kira heard Marceline and Grandpa Roland so he walked closer to them, bringing Little Lowell with him. "And grandpa… this is Lowell, our son… your great-grandson." She introduced Little Lowell to Grandpa Roland.
The old man was so happy to meet Lowell. He extended his hands, asking Kira to give Lowell to him. He wanted to carry his great-grandson.
"Great-grandpa!" Little Lowell called him, bringing a sweet smile to his face.
"Oh… my cute great-grandson…"
Enrique and Natasha finally joined them. They already accepted the fact that Grandpa Roland had become a vampire. Though Natasha remained jealous of Marceline, her hatred lessened because she would no longer see her in the human world. Marceline would live in the Kingdom of Phantasia.
Enrique, on the other hand, grabbed this chance to hug Marceline. He loved her for real. But he was aware that he was not the guy for her. He only wished for her happiness.
"Master! I'm also here! Can I stay here for a month? I want to explore this kingdom… It's different from our world!" Mr. X butted in, expressing his interest in staying in the kingdom.
Kira frowned and was displeased. He was still jealous of this man. "No! You can't."
"But why?" Mr. X pouted his lips in disappointment.
Fortunately, Marceline intervened. "I owed him a lot, Ki… Please allow him to stay."
Kira could only sigh in defeat. He couldn't refuse Marceline's request. "Fine. He can stay here. But he has to stay away from you."
Mr. X: "..."
Marceline could only roll her eyes skyward. She couldn't believe that Kira would still feel jealous. "Don't be like that. Nothing to be jealous of. Xyon is just a good friend of mine."
"My brother-in-law is very possessive. Hahaha!" Dylan wrapped his arm around Kira's shoulder. Kira just glared at him. With Kira's deathly gaze, Dylan moved away from him, hiding at Lyca's back.
The Moon Goddess's laughter bubbled up, catching everyone's attention.
"OMG. Who is she? I think I'm in love now!" Xyon blurted out suddenly. His eyes filled with admiration were fixed on the Moon Goddess's face.
Kira immediately hit Xyon's forehead. "Watch your manner. This is our Moon Goddess!"
"Oh, my Goddess… yeah, she is my Goddess!" Xyon was still mesmerized by the Moon Goddess's beauty.
The Moon Goddess could only smile while looking at him helplessly.
But Xyon was not the only person who was stunned by the Moon Goddess's beauty. All the human gatekeepers couldn't take their eyes on her. They kneeled and gave courtesy to her the moment they found out she was the Moon Goddess. It was their first time seeing the Moon Goddess personally. Her beauty was ethereal.
"Thank you for inviting us here… Moon Goddess!" One Clan Leader of the Four Gatekeepers spoke up, thanking the Moon Goddess.
"Tonight is a very important occasion. This will bring peace to both worlds— the Phantasia and Human World. Let's all celebrate. You were also invited to witness the royal wedding of the Vampire King and the Werewolf Princess. We will also discuss the terms and conditions of this Peace Treaty. The humans also have a big role to play." The Moon Goddess declared to them.
"We understand, Moon Goddess! We are willing to accept whatever roles you will give us." Another clan leader from the Four Families spoke up.
"Thank you, everyone. Now, let's enjoy this banquet. Grab your glass for a toast!" The Moon Goddess couldn't contain her happiness. She was very grateful for this turn of events.
However, while everyone was enjoying themselves in the banquet hall, someone and his pack were being punished for their crime— Alpha Cedric and the White Claw Pack. They were imprisoned in the underground basement for them to reflect on their sins. But the Moon Goddess planned to release them during the royal wedding so that they could witness it. They shouldn't miss the union of the two clans. The Vampire Clan and the Werewolf Clan.
