A Fancy dinner, or a deadly twist?

[Wolfs Ghost]

The guests were due to arrive any minute. Servants scurried about the dining hall and kitchen endlessly quickly setting up and bringing plates out. Gentle music played throughout the dining room itself, and someone was lighting candles. A very young boy came running through the room giggling and screaming, he was shortly followed by the Prince himself who calmly walked in wearing a white long-sleeve button-up shirt and black slacks with sandals.

The food smelled great as the breeze carried the aroma into the room. He smiled to himself as he surveyed the area, after a minute of glancing around, he turned sharply and headed into the kitchen, sliding his hands into his pockets. "Alright Monsieurs and Madames. You're all invited to table. Our guests will be arriving here shortly, so go get cleaned up and wear anything relaxing. No need to be formal, this is my gift to you." His smile grew as people finished up what they were doing and leaving the room, a few servants stayed on hand to serve the food, but they would shortly after join the Prince and his Guests for dinner.

He shrugged off whatever thought that suddenly crossed his mind and headed towards the front doors. The young boy shadowing him as well as the captain of the guard, who was wearing a white dress. "Your highness, do you want Luc to be put to sleep or shall he attend this event?"


"Did he eat?" He said turning halfway with his right hand outstretched to the door nob of the front door. "Non, my lord." She said blushing a bit and lowering her head. "Then he shall attend. Make sure he's cleaned up. Don't worry about proper table manners either. I'll clean the mess up later."

"Oui, my lord." She said bowing before him and walking swiftly over to the kid, taking his hand and bringing him away. "Come on, we're going to go get you all fresh and clean so you can attend a fancy dinner!" She said playfully, Luc laughed and started to run.

"I know now why mother didn't want to stick around." He mumbled shortly after they were out of ear shot, and he opened the door, stepping outside.
