A bell would ring to gain the attention of all guests at the table, shushing all who may have been in idle chatter, the one to ring it was a middle aged woman one of the advisers from before to the princess. She was standing at the north end of the dining hall where a couple of doors were present and closed two butlers at the stand by. "Attention, if I may have your attention", she beckoned and thus the room was silent. "It is my greatest honor to present to you the host of these fair festivities tonight," and with that she signaled the two gentlemen to open the doors, where behind them stood the last one to arrive. Carefully she stepped and approached her place at the table, she was decked in a sky blue gown the went well over her feet, it took a lot for her not to trip but she managed to seem graceful enough at least she hoped. Her blonde hair had been waved a tad and fell to her waist, a simple but elegant look they had told her, with but a few crown jewels such as a tiara adorned in crystals, her mothers sapphire necklace and her fathers rings that had been fitted for her size. Soon she stood at the head of the table arms folded in front of her as she bowed to her company.<br/><br/>"Thank you all for waiting, as well as for gracing our kingdom, I know you all maybe skeptical of me", Veronica addressed the visitors making eye contact with each and every one as she could. "But I assure you, my father taught me well, and like him I love this kingdom and all who come here. I will make sure to be a leader that Valora deserves, as well as continue perhaps even improve any agreements my father held with each of you, matters that we can discuss over the course of the next few months." She smiled before she would take her seat at the end of the table raising a glass brought to her filled with a red liquid that she was assured it wasn't wine. "But for now let us enjoy this night, and let us dine as friends and allies", with that men and women alike would file out of the north doors carrying trays upon trays of food in which they would set down before the guests. "We did research, looking up each and everyone of your cultures dishes and recipes, we hope its to your liking, and don't hesitate to make a request that can be prepared", and thus the night would begin.
