Chapter 24:

The Royal Gathering (Part 2)

World Quest: Escape To Reality


(As Kyliei was then worried on her very status being called out on, she then notices the other powerful royal families having a great time with one another as Forsiel continued to accompany Kyilei to the Veixmares.)

"Forsiel: Please do not feel afraid princess, your very presence is welcome here for you are of royalty too."
"Kyilei: Well.. y-yeah but, it's just everyone else here has managed to look so beautiful..."
"Forsiel: You're just as beautiful princess, please don't count yourself out because of your family's past. Remember as I told you before, none of those events were your fault."
"Kyilei: ...Y-Yeah."

(With a chortling laugh being heard from the arriving table, a gluttonous yet muscular bodied king was laughing along with the table of the Veixmares, a healthy mix of Angels, Animatronics, Water Folk and Buddhas.)

"Alenoid Veixmare (Race: Buddha (AWK) | Veixmare Empire King | #1 In WC Wealthiest): GRAHAHAHA!! Ah, such stories never get old, especially on such a day like so! Hm? Forsiel! Forsiel, my boy! Come here with your old man!"
"Forsiel: Father, goodness..! You've gotten food all over your gathering attire..!"
"Alenoid: I can't help myself, lad! I get all giddy on a day like today!! AH! PRINCESS KYILEI!! COME COME, SIT WITH THE FAMILY!!"
"Kyilei: Ahh! I-I uh... I would be delighted..!"

(As Alenoid then clapped his hands for a seat to be prepared for Kyilei, she would then be carried to her seat to sit next to the head of the table, along with the main faces of the Veixmare family.)

"Alenoid: Princess, please don't feel afraid! After our last few gatherings, you should know our family by now!"
"Kyilei: Well, I do King Veixmare, I do yes... I just get a little nervous at times.."
"Alenoid: Nervous you say? GIVE THIS DELIGHTFUL YOUNG LADY TONIGHT'S SPECIAL! ALL HER PLATES AND DRINKS WILL BE PAID UNDER ME!"
"Laurence Lenton (Race: Human | Butler of The Veixmare Empire | Sinner Rating: ???): Yes, King Veixmare."
"Kyilei: OH! I'm fine, h-honest!"

(As a royal dining utensils were placed in front of Kyilei along with a glass of the Veixmare Empire's own freshly produced wine and a plate of two grilled fish and fresh vegetables. The very smell coming off of the plate, she then gives in and holds the urge to scarf down the food unmannerly.)

"Alenoid: Well?! How's the food treating you princess?!"

(She'd then pause eating for a moment to answer honestly.)

"Kyilei: ...It's delicious!"
"Alenoid: Then scarf down!! I can tell you've been hungry ever since you've gotten here! That reminds me, didn't you bring a plus one?"
"Kyilei: Um.. Yeah.. Imani didn't want to come this time, so I brought Yinlong with me."

(As the Veixmare table then simultaneously were in shock, Forsiel then attempts to calm his father down as he remembered one thing, Alenoid despises commoners.)

"Alenoid: ...Yinlong? Isn't he the young lad who was eliminated from the Tower of Combat...?"
"Kyilei: ...Y-Yes.. I know he's a commoner, but please, he's a very kind man..! I promise, he's a strong warrior too!!"
"Alenoid: GGRRRAAAHAHAHAHAAA!! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO?! WHERE IS HE?!"
"Forsiel: ...? Father? I thought you hated commoners?"
"Alenoid: GGGRRAAHHAH! I may have a strong distaste for many commoners, but Yinlong's an exception! I've never seen such a young man like him push himself through many challenges and still make it to the semi final round of the Tower of Combat!"

(As the table then full-heartedly agrees, they were willing to look over the fact that Yinlong despite him being a human, has already gained the respect of the most powerful family in Worldly Conquest. Meanwhile, Yinlong was being given a tour of the empire's main palace by Kalmiha whom did not let him go the entire tour until they've reached the end.)

"Kalmiha: And this final room is the palace garden! It looks like nothing now but all it takes is a little Angel light and..."

(As Kalmiha then enlightens her halo, the many flowers within the garden bloomed within the garden, Yinlong in pure awe was mesmerized at such beautiful scenery.)

"Yinlong: Whoa..."
"Kalmiha: I know, I always come here whenever I'm feeling down. Just one look at these flowers and I have my smile again."
"Yinlong: I can see why, this is gorgeous... I think we should get back to the party, princess."
"Kalmiha: Yeah... But I actually want to give you something."
"Yinlong: Hm? What's that-"

(With a quick rush to Yinlong, Kalmiha then immediately kisses him before planting Yinlong into the wall, holding him by his tuxedo's collar, making out with him intentionally with no intention on stopping as Yinlong squirmed to be freed while also intending not to hurt Kalmiha in the process of the nonconsensual kissing. With Kalmiha then holding down his very hand, she'd sloppily make out for a full minute with Yinlong before letting him go, his mind would then return to reality as he then slides to the ground in disbelief of what just happened as Kalmiha then kneeled to Yinlong face to face with an innocent smile.)

"Kalmiha: You'll have to give me.. I waited months to give you that.~"
"Yinlong: ...Y-You..."
"Kalmiha: Come on, time to go back!~"

(After Kalmiha then cleans herself up and Yinlong's mouth, the two would then return to the party as Alenoid then at last gets to meet Yinlong. Out of surprise of seeing him in person, he'd then rise out of his seat, gaining the attention of the royals as he then laughs heartedly.)

"Alenoid: GGGRRRAAAHAHAHAH!! YINLONG, THE SILVER STEEL WARRIOR! A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU AT LONG LAST, MY BOY!"
"Forsiel: Father..! You're making a scene...!"
"Alenoid: NONSENSE! Everyone, I'd like to propose a toast, to the man who's survived Trirae, The Galactic Conqueror!"

(As all eyes were on Yinlong and Alenoid, as he then clears his throat and gives his toast.)

"Alenoid: Yinlong, the Silver Steel Warrior, The Rookie, The Future Champion of Champions! I, Alenoid Veixmare have longed for this very moment to actually gift you a long overdue gift, the respect of the Veixmare Empire! Your very acts within the many fights you've had are proof of your strengths, you my dear boy may be a commoner, but I acknowledge the strong! And any Human whom can survive a threat like Trirae is worthy of the family's respect! As of this very moment, Yinlong, the Silver Steel Warrior... I hereby dub thee as FAMILY to the Veixmare Empire! GRAHAHAHAHAAA!!"

(As all the royals then celebrates with cheers and claps, a prince of the 2nd most powerful royal family purposely splashes Yinlong's formalwear in wine, many gasping and leading to Kyilei rising out of her seat in defense. Yinlong then slowly turning around to face the assailant, he was then introduced to a snobby royal.)

"???: Please. A nobody who hails from the Commoner Fields should be kissing the royal's feet, not being praised for their strengths."
"Alenoid: ...Grrr.."
"Forsiel: Tregonwell, wasting wine on a guest is too far!"
"Wulf Tregonwell (Race: 4th GEN Animatronic (AWK) | Tregonwell Family Prince): Come now. Even I find this very comical! The most powerful family in the entire realmverse really believes this commoner is worth our praise?! We of the Tregonwell Family do not approve of commoners and you have the gall to actually speak on behalf our name?!"
"Yinlong: You know, this suit was a rental. I'm going to have to kindly ask that you pay the fee to have cleaned."
"Wulf: ...PFFT! BAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! GET A LOAD OF THIS FILTH!"

(Wulf then slaps Yinlong across the face before shoving him onto the ground, Kyilei becoming more angered to fight Wulf but instead was stopped by Kalmiha, worried that Kyilei could make the situation worst for Yinlong and herself. Yinlong then stands back up, dusting off his already ruined tuxedo as he then sighs and asks again.)

"Yinlong: I'll ask again sir, will you pay the fee for this suit to be cleaned?"
"Wulf: Are you a broken record now or something?! Is that commoner head of yours so bent up on such a cheap suit?! Maybe another smack is necessary!"

(Before Wulf could once again lay his hand on Yinlong, Forsiel and Alenoid both simultaneously including the Tregonwell King have their weapons targetted at one another, halting the party abruptly.)

"Alenoid: If your very son lays another hand on Yinlong, consider yourselves KICKED OUT!"
"Wulfgeat Tregonwell (Race: 2nd GEN Animatronic (AWK) | Tregonwell Family King): I will have your head if you touch my son!"
"Forsiel: You and Tregonwell Junior have always been just as unacceptable as the Heroic Crusaders! Yinlong is our guest and you have the audacity to assault him on the night of the Royal Gathering?!"
"Wulf: Of course I do, it's the "Royal" Gathering! That means, NO! COMMONERS!"
"Yinlong: Everyone, I-"
"Alenoid: Commoner or not, Yinlong's very talents and feats will have him known as a future champion!"
"Wulfgeat: Is that right?! Are you sure on that?! Very well, put up or shut up, now!"
"Yinlong: Look can I just-"
"Alenoid: If Yinlong can beat your pathetic child, you and your family are to leave this party and never return!"
"Yinlong: King Veixmare, I'm positive that-"
"Wulfgeat: YOU'RE ON! And if my powerful son and the heir to the throne defeats your pathetic commoner guest, HE is to never step foot into the ranks of Royalty for as long as he lives!"
"Yinlong: I don't even want the-"
"Alenoid: BIG MISTAKE, BECAUSE IT WILL BE SWORD COMBAT!"
"Wulfgeat: HA! THAT COMMONER STANDS NO CHANCE!"

(As the royal families were then gossiping, the party was then halted for a quick battle between Yinlong and Wulf which before the fight would begin, Yinlong was separated from the situation as he then facepalmed himself, knowing the entire night was ruined and he could not stop believing it was his fault.)

"Yinlong: ...I shouldn't have came here."
