*Splash!*
Chiron was poured buckets of Salty scented water.
He was to be taken to see the king.
The Guards had to clean him up a bit.
He still had the wounds from the cuts that General Buckle gave him. Those wounds had not been taken care off. To have Salt in them was a different flavor of hurt. However, Chiron swallowed all of the pain.
"Wash up!" One of the guards ordered. However, he suddenly chuckled, "Forgive me, I forgot you are Armless. Hahahaha!!!"
As he laughed, the other guards also laughed with him.
None of them volunteered to wash him up. All they did was pour him scented water again and again until they thought it was enough.
And then they changed his robes.
Although it was still ragged, it was cleaner than what he was wearing before.
Chiron was then taken through the Palace corridors to the king's Banquet room.
He had big, heavy chains around his neck, waist, and one on each leg.
These were not ordinary Chains. They had the ability to dampen the cultivation of anyone that cultivated Spiritual energy.
This meant that Chiron could not use his Spiritual Cultivation energy.
Naturally, this made the Chains heavy and his movements were sluggish.
But the guards encouraged him from time to time with their whips on his back.
Every strike echoed loudly off the walls.
The Chanland Kingdom Palace was much different from that of the Vandora Kingdom, and that was not just in size, but also in design.
However, Chiron could see some similarities here and there which was evidence that at one time, these two kingdoms might have been under one rule.
Steadily, he was led to a pair of Very huge doors.
Even from where he stood, Chiron could hear whispers of what was happening within.
The guards opened the Big doors and he was led into the Room.
The moment he entered, he was met instantly with the merry sounds of partying.
Since when the announcement that Chiron had been Captured went out, many nobles had journeyed from far and wide to come to see if the Capture of a Prince of the Vandora Kingdom was true.
Naturally, those nobles had been invited to this Banquet.
The Hall was wide and well-spaced.
The Chandeliers hung from the ceiling like stars decorating the night sky.
There was an assortment of food and Wine before the nobles.
These were obviously delicacies cooked by the King's chefs.
On some tables, Chiron could see well-oiled, roasted core beasts of different kinds.
They were also music in the air and a group of seductive dancers displayed sensually in the centre of the room.
Left and right Chiron looked, There were well-dressed nobles on all sides. everywhere he looked, he could see gold and silver reflecting off the light in the room.
They were maids that were indecently dressed with tops that barely covered their chests and exposed their slim bellies and long flowing skirts but with thin veils to cover their faces walking around the place serving drinks or whatsoever the guests wanted.
Chiron caught the sight of one maid in particular that seemed to make eye contact with him for a while, before looking away.
From the thin veil, he could not see her face. But that body proportion was something he was most familiar with.
After all, he created it.
As the maid served drinks, some nobles tried to get her attention from time to time, and some fat perverts even slabbed her behind.
However, she ignored them all.
All she did was go about her duties.
Chiron saw this and gave a slight smile.
Just ahead on the high table, were King Ash, his queen, his son, General Buckle who had just been decorated and a few other high-ranking nobles, Military Commanders and members of the royal family.
Many of whom had incredible cultivation.
King Ash was enjoying a conversation with Advisor Gon while both of them admired the ladies that danced sensually before them.
Just then, Advisor Gon noticed Chiron's Arrival.
As he did, so did the king.
Chiron was ushered forward by the Guards, pulling him along by his neck.
As they walked forward, some nobles threw spit at him, and some others poured him their wine.
Chiron was a young boy. Not even the age of twelve yet, but he was treated like he was the worse Criminal to ever exist.
However, it couldn't be helped.
Such was the way of the world. After all, he was royalty and he represented the dignity of an entire kingdom.
As far as these people were concerned, they were not spitting on a boy, but on the Vandora kingdom that had oppressed them for many years.
Chiron walked forward one step at a time.
The sensual dancers made way for the main attraction to be brought before the king.
As he was brought forward, the king raised a hand and the music slowed to a stop while the nobles kept quiet. The noise in the room had suddenly died the moment he lifted his hand.
King Ash took a look at Chiron, his eyes obviously displeased by what he saw, "So you are the MAGGOT that foiled my years of planning to take over Treasure town, and also took the life of my General. I thought you would be more," he paused and smiled, "HANDY!!!"
"HAHAHAHAHA!!!" The crowd burst into laughter.
However, as they laughed, so did Chiron.
This took everyone present by surprise and made King Ash frown.
The moment King Ash stopped laughing, the crowd also stopped.
Everyone knew that King Ash had severe anger issues because of his Sin of Wrath. No one wanted to easily trigger it.
However, Chiron did not stop. Instead, his laughter increased.
The guard behind him saw the expression of the king and flung his whip on Chiron's back to make him stop.
"And what is so funny, Maggot?" King Ash's frown got tighter.
Chiron stopped laughing as he turned to the king.
"This is a celebration right?" Chiron asked.
Immediately, General Buckle stood to his feet, "How dare you MAGGOT speak to the King!"
However, King Ash raised a hand for him to back off.
"Yes, my King!" General Buckle sat back down.
"Yes! It is," The king responded, "It is a celebration to mark the end of Your Vandora Kingdom!"
"Hmmm," Chiron nodded. "Knowing the general trend of how kings and their subjects work, it is safe to say that this Banquet has had at least a few Toasts to General Buckle, the end of the Vandora Kingdom and even to Your Majesty. I'm I right?"
"Yes!" King Ash chuckled, "like I said, it's to mark the end of your Vandora Kingdom!"
Chiron nodded, "So you mean to tell me that everyone here DRANK to it? After all, your majesty would not drink and your subjects pour their wine!"
King Ash suddenly frowned again, "make your point boy!"
Chiron chuckled, "Your majesty, Just out of Curiosity, Have you heard of the story of Odysseus and the Great City Of Troy?"
