Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

"Are my eye bags really that bad?" Tang Yue touched her face and frowned in confusion.

As soon as the queen consort Charlotte left her chambers, she sighed and relaxed her hand, that was holding up the bedding to cover her changed appearance.

"So today is the grand feast huh? A fateful coincidence indeed." The curled up snake woman muttered, unwilling to still get up from the bed.

This must have been why the generals and the two princes were holding a midnight meeting yesterday when she bumped into them.

Outside her chamber, watching the queen consort leave, Lotte immediately rushed over and profusely apologized.

"Sorry, your highness. I couldn't stop the princess."

"Hmm... Let that be. What is this grand feast she was talking about?" Tang Yue asked, finally getting out of bed.

Lotte's eyes instantly widened in surprise at the sight of his master's enlarged appearance, but he tactfully adjusted his expression so as to not insult the royal consort.

"Every lunar cycle some of our royal generals head south to clear the beast horde and prevent them from encroaching too much on our elven territories and other subsidiary clan settlements on the outskirts."

He then proudly added.

"Three Lunar cycles back our Crown Prince had valiantly slain a Myr dragon that was terrorizing that area and ever since then, we were able to control these beast hordes."

"This is all because of our Crown Prince's capabilities and power. The royal highness has always put the life and safety of our people first."

The little palace aide elf Lotte had already forgotten the original question and had begun to sing praises of the Crown Prince.

"Cough... Cough... That's enough." Tang Yue stopped him. Her ears couldn't take this much assault early in the morning.

The man was not too bad, but she just couldn't stomach his glorious praises. There was something about those arrogant eyes that she had inadvertently come to hate.

"Good. Let's prepare to head over to the feast area."

Apparently the feast was specially cooked with high-grade and medium-grade beast meats that the troop had hunted and it was a good opportunity for Tang Yue to unleash her gluttony skills.

Eat more and become stronger was her motto these days!

Tang Yue decided to save the Fire twin-tailed birds for later as she had to reserve her stomach space for the free royal lunch.

But unfortunately, there really was no such thing as a free lunch...

After getting ready, Tang Yue accompanied by Lotte, her palace aide, walked over to the main banquet hall.

This was her first time attending such a high profile event, and considering her current special body condition, she didn't want to attract much attention towards herself.

So Tang Yue planned to settle in a bit earlier than the norm and inconspicuously hide in some corner of the room.

After all, taking into account the other extravagant chambers in the palace, the banquet hall also had to be humungous and lavish.

It should technically be easy for her to blend into the background.

But as she walked into the chamber, Tang Yue couldn't help but gasp in astonishment at the sight in front of her.

This was a hundred times more grand than she had ever expected!

The banquet chamber was deliriously huge with several long smooth rows of tables, covered in shiny red silk and chairs, made out of pure glittering gold.

The huge room and the seating arrangements had an overwhelming capacity of more than a hundred guests!!

Shimmering jewels, gold, diamond, and silver ornaments were vomited onto the feast tables as casual adornments.

The entire room was sparkling in luxury and style. Even with all of these overboard decorations, the hall still retained its elegant and classic charm.

This indeed was a feast befitting the tyrannical cold-blooded elven Crown Prince and the almighty elven Emperor!

As Tang Yue looked around in awe, she noticed that quite a few guests had arrived before her.

On one side, a bunch of orcs were gathered together, looking particularly savage and ferocious.

On another side, a few fairies were happily chattering and gossiping.

There were even other beast clan members present like the reynards (male fox spirit beasts) and the vixens (female fox spirit beasts).

It looked like the banquet was a mixed gathering event, that held quite a bit of political significance.

Did this mean her serpentine clan members were also present?

As Tang Yue's beautiful eyes searched the crowd for her traitorous family members, the sound of solid footsteps echoed near her, followed by a vulgar crackle.

"Aha Ha Ha Ha. You... Ha Ha Ha. You have returned back, pretty princess! And from the looks of it, you have worked really hard this time!! Ha Ha Ha."

Master Dranuk's loud voice and his belligerent cackle stunned Tang Yue. For heaven's sake, the stupid elf didn't even care that he was amidst a royal gathering!!
