Polite laughter spread through the room. Several guests nodded in agreement. Even King Sebastian appeared amused.
Zarek's smile only widened. "To the Alpha Prince."
Servants immediately moved to ensure every important guest had a filled glass, including Alexander and Amara.
Barron's eyes followed the movement as Jasper's hand tightened slightly behind his back.
Alexander remained perfectly calm.
The toast was met with enthusiastic agreement throughout the banquet hall.
Glasses were raised across the room as nobles, ministers, court officials, mages, and dignitaries joined in the celebration.
Amara followed Alexander's lead and lifted her own glass.
Across from them, King Sebastian and Queen Lysandra did the same, followed by the rest of the royal family and the honoured guests seated nearby.
"To the Alpha Prince."
The words echoed through the hall before everyone drank.
