Chapter 102 The Ceremony I

The main hall of the mansion was filled with people drinking and eating different cuisine Velian made for them, he gave the recipes to Sariya asking her to manage the food served in the ceremony,

"What are these foods?"

"I don't know, I have never seen something so delicious looking,"

They were talking among themselves about how good the food in this ceremony was. There were steak, salads and a few other food items from Velian's old world.

"Delicious!" Sariya was also surprised by how good they were. She didn't expect him to know about cooking at all.

"Mother! I want this delicious food every day," Even though Elda had a slim figure, she was a food enthusiast.

"Don't be stupid, Elda,"

"I heard from cooks that some of these foods are highly oily and salty, do you want to get fat?" She didn't want her daughter to ruin her beautiful figure.

"Ugh~ I didn't think about that,"

"Mother, how did he know about all these amazing foods? I don't think even the royal capital has some of these," She wanted to know the origin of these foods.

"I heard from Delviny that when he was young, Velian usually experiment with foods, these must be the results of them,"

At her answer, Elda couldn't help but think about Velian,

"He is handsome, strong, caring, and now he is a good cook? How perfect can he be," She started to feel somewhat inferior to him because she thought at least she might have the advantage in this kind of work.

Even though the hall was crowded with many, all those who were present there are important people such as guild members, leaders of the army, mayors and many more.

The common people were not invited but still, they were having a grandeur party near the assembly point with all the meat and drinks, Velian provided them.

Sariya, Elda, Naomi, Remi and Juno were already in the hall with all the other people who played a prominent role in the war against the kingdom.

They had no idea why Velian told all of them to come in fancy dresses,

"Where's the young master?" Remi asked.

"No idea, he's not predictable, I hope he won't drop another huge announcement," Juno said while smiling.

Just as they mentioned him, the door to the main hall opened and someone entered with a red-haired girl following him,

"Holy shit! Look at him," Juno had a small blush seeing Velian's current look.

He wore a white full set of clothes with hair combed backwards showing his featured face clear to the others,

"Is he really some kind of a prince?" Naomi asked but none of them looked at her as everyone's attention was on Velian or Delviny, mostly men in the hall were looking at her with drool.

If they knew that these two siblings were baking each other, they would be very upset. Most of the knights knew how talented and powerful Delvi was so only a handful of them were proud enough to ask her on a date but, she rejected every single one without any consideration.

He walked through the furnished carpet to the chair that was situated a little above everyone.

"Welcome everyone! I'm happy to see every single one here," He started to talk gaining the attention of everyone.

Delviny was standing beside him with a sword hanging on her waist in case she needed it to protect him,

"I invited all of you for a special occasion today, as you might know, we won a battle against the Rapidclaw army and many of you here provided your utmost service for me and helped us,"

"This victory belongs to every one of us," Velian gave a short speech, as he knew how boring its to stand and listen to someone else preaching to them.

He didn't know that unlike him, the people in this all actually were excited to hear him talk about it.

Some of the people here were servants and served under the previous viscount, but after Velian took the city, he went through most of them and dismissed everyone who was corrupted and fully loyal to the viscount.

"Well enough about that let's get to the main event, I asked everyone to be present here because I'm going to gift those who accomplished great things in the war," Velian said making everyone gasp in surprise.

"I observed every one of you during the war and I saw promising qualities in many of you,"

"If I announce your name, come forward to receive your gift,"

Everybody was excited to know what they were going to get, after seeing how powerful and kind their new leader is, most of the people abandoned their kingdom.

"Patrick, Jessica, Omar...' Velian announced a few names causing everyone to applaud at every single one. It was a little annoying but, he didn't want to disturb their little fun.

"These people are the ones who were managing the war provisions, management of the city and many more tasks during the war and they showed absolute performance in their work,"

"As a gift for your great service, I will give you this gold coin and a pack of Keller stationery products, which contain new inventions,"

Under everyone's applause, they gratefully accepted their gifts with a happy smile on their face.

When some of them were working under the viscount, most of the time they would get insulted for many different things so someone appreciating their work like this brought tears to their eyes.

Next, the prominent soldiers and civil officials got their gifts, Velian always gave them something useful as it would increase their efficiency.

Like, most swordsmen got new swords or armour for their service while archers got bows, most of them were junk which was stored in Velian's storage but for them, it was a great gift.

"With this, I can empty more than half of my storage," Velian thought while congratulating them.

"Next, we have our elites, people who did the most prominent roles in this war,"

Most people had an idea who he was talking about,

"If I announce your name come forward,"
