Chapter 151
The celebration continued smoothly as joyous cheers and loud laughs echoed throughout the banquet hall. There were no serious misshapes, minus a few arguments that broke up between some members of both sides.
Luckily, they were quickly broken apart by those present so the fights never got too heated. Throughout the entire night, Omis had spent it enjoying the food while lightly flirting with Beri.
Addi mostly kept to himself, his eyes remained closed throughout the entire time as he only opened them to take a sip from his wine cup, a servant stood behind him with a respectful look with an entire jar in his hands, when Addi's cup was finished he would rush to refill it for him.
Sometime in the night, Tizzy ended up leaving his seat as joined his men, all of them drinking and dancing together happily. Eva sat down on a table with a smile on her face throughout the entire ordeal, her eyes never quite leaving Tizzy's back.
Lu Lu ended up being dragged alongside Leyla who was having a somewhat 'friendly'? competition with some 'Hive' members where they seemed to be exchanging pointers, or so Omis would like to think.
'Ah, well I'm sure they won't go overboard...I hope.' He thought to himself.
As all good things must come to an end, so did the first-ever banquet with both 'Hive' and 'Immortal' members harmoniously enjoying food and wine without anyone actively seeking to murder the other.
Krano was the first to stand up, as if on cue, Rolus the monster butler cleared his throat, his cough embedded with his primordial energy caused the noisy hall to suddenly turn silent aseveryone turned their attention back to the front table.
"Mister Omis, shall we?" Lightly said Krano with a smile as he ushered Omis to follow him.
Seeing no reason to decline, Omis stood up as well, followed by Addi who was mostly silent the entire celebration, Beri also followed suit with a smile, Lacess the lazy Lion stretched out with a yawn before also standing up, Tizzy who was having fun with his soldiers stepped out towards them as well.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The 'Hive' members suddenly gave a disciplined salute to their leaders as they called out in a united voice. "Rest well palace leader!" Before giving another respectful salute towards Omis and his people.
Following Krano's lead, Omis walked out with the rest of the group in toe, Lu Lu skimmed next to him a beautiful smile bloomed on her face as she grabbed the hem of his dress and followed.
Once outside of the banquet hall, Krano turned to look at Rolus his butler and then motioned towards Omis and the rest. "Take our guests to their rooms Rolus." He said before glancing at Omis and his group.
"I'll be taking my leave first, go settle down first and let's meet up again when you are well-rested." He said.
Omis and Tizzy gave a nod while Addi remained passive. With a loud whoosh, Krano's figure suddenly disappeared from his place, Rolus who was behind them gave them a courteous bow and asked.
"If you would kindly follow me, right this way." He motioned them with his hand.
Before they could continue, Beri suddenly moved with swift grace as she threw herself into Omis's arms forcing him to hold on to her, she brought her mouth closer to his ears and whispered seductively.
"I'll be seeing you master Omis." She whispered, a light giggle escaping her lips as she turned around and walked away while swaying her hips. Addi who was next to Omis smacked his head with a karate chop.
"Ouch!"
"Keep your eyes up, and try to control your face a little, how embarrassing." He remarked. To that Omis simply let out a laugh.
He and the rest soon followed after Rolus. With his lead, the group made their way towards the west part of the huge divine palace. There he led them into an entirely empty floor where he pointed at the first door.
"This is master Omis's residence." He said.
"This is master Tizzy's residence." He added
"And this is master Addi's residence." He continued while motioning at the third room.
"The rest of the rooms are all empty but well furnished, I shall leave their distribution to you." He said with another bow before adding.
"Well then, I shall take my leave." And with those final words behind, Rolus disappeared in a flash leaving the group of 'Immortals' behind to themselves.
Tizzy looked back at Omis and Addi before nodding, he then turned towards his men and yelled.
"Men! On me!"
With swift practiced movement, the small army stationed itself in front of their leader Tizzy with discipline, he then continued to give out their stay details.
Leyla and Lu Lu ended up sharing a room with each other, surprisingly they seemed to get along very well despite the difference in their tempers. And so Leyla dragged Lu Lu to a room with her, a happy expression on her face.
Lu Lu glanced back at Omis with a hopeless smile only to be faced with his encouraging face, as he nodded.
And so only Omis and Addi were left standing in the large hallway. Glancing at Omis, Addi brought out a large gourd of wine and gave him a nod.
Omis grinned and ushered him to go inside the room. “After you.”
Soon, the duo was sitting around a table in the middle of Addi’s luxurious room facing one another, a bottle of wine was settled in the middle with two cups.
Addi filled their cups before asking. “You really think is going to work out well?”
Omis took a sip from his cup as he waited for him to continue. “You think a few drinks, food, and a party is going to make people forgot about a thousands of years old grudge?” He asked again.
At that question, Omis raised his head and stared at him before answering. “Forget? Absolutely not, I never said no such thing.”
“Then wha-”
“I never said it’s that easy, we can’t keep on living in the past brother. It’s hard but not impossible to change things, and all we need is to take that first step, a step I'm trying to make us all make.”
Letting out a long sigh, Addi jerked his head back and downed his cup in one motion before speaking. “I still hate them.”
Chuckling, Omis replied. “I know.”
