Raised From The Wild-Chapter 88: Goddess of the Mortal World

Prince Ibarra who was about to grin broadly because of the king’s praise for his second daughter froze. He gave Nelida who sitting beside her a helpless look. He hoped that she has prepared Amaya to do some performance. Ibarra kept silent.

"You try this wine first King Hebrio. This wine is fermented using wild berries from the island of Miraga. My granddaughter also said that this contains powdered tiger bones and rare mushrooms." King poured the wine on the golden goblet that Ibrahim gifted him.

King Hebrio studied the goblet and he could tell that it was made of gold. He also noticed the inscription at the base. He smelled the wine and found it to be intoxicating. He took a gulp and felt that the red liquid was smooth and soothing to the throat. He swallowed it and the liquid left a sweet, bitter and tangy aftertaste on his mouth.

"This is good. I love it." The King of Albania downed the remaining wine in one go.

"Unfortunately, supply is limited." King Duncan sighed.

"Why not make more?"

"The ingredients used were endemic to the island but the island disappeared after the volcanic eruption."

"Oh, what a pity." King Hebrio licked his tongue.

King Duncan filled King Hebrio’s goblet and filled his as well. The clay jar was empty after that.

"This is the last two glasses." King Duncan lifted his goblet to toast the king of Albania.

"To our continued alliance and peace of our kingdoms!" the two kings emptied their goblets at the same time.

Princess Danella has finished her performance. She curtsied and went down the stage.

Prince Ibarra’s other two daughters gave another Lireyan traditional dance. The audience were delighted because the two girls looked cute and their colorful costume added to the beauty of the dance.

King Duncan’s other granddaughters Tatiana and Zanzara went up the stage to perform a fast modern dance. They danced sexily and provocatively. King Duncan gave their mothers a disapproving look. He felt disgusted by the way they danced. Of course, the young men who were around were enjoying themselves and some even let out a whistle.

"Where is the birthday celebrant, I want to see her perform." King Hebrio who was a bit tipsy said in a loud voice.

At that very moment, the big door of the banquet hall opened. Amaya who had changed into an evening gown walked regally like a queen while the bashful Lilia followed behind her.

Silence descended into the banquet hall. Princess Consort Nelida’s eyes widened and then she frowned.

"Wow! She is so beautiful. Is she the Goddess Aphrodite who descended into the mortal world? Brother, punch me to wake me up. I think I am dreaming." Prince Argo was drooling as he looked at the lady in blue walking along the red carpet to her designated seat beside the king. His second brother gave him a hard slap on his shoulder.

"Brother, you are drooling."

Argo wiped the corner of his mouth. Indeed he drooled.

Raquim who was seated beside his two brothers and busy with his cell phone looked up and for a second, he felt as if he was breathless. His stoic face showed an unfamiliar expression but when his eye fluttered, his face was cold and serious once again.

Marx has seen Amaya the moment he entered through the door. He strode toward her with the intent of escorting her to her table. Unfortunately, there was someone who has the same intention as him.

Marx hastened his steps and he arrived in front of Amaya. He offered the crook of his arm to her and Amaya happily held on to it and they walked together to the front.

The distance from the door to the table where the important guests was around fifty meters so Amaya and Marx walked for some time.

Men were ogling Amaya while the women were looking at her with envy.

"Is that Princess Amaya? How come she looked different? Earlier she looked so sweet and young in her pink gown. Now she transformed into an elegant and pretty woman. I felt like I will turn into a gay looking at her beautiful face and body."

"What do you expect? Isn’t her mother used to be the most beautiful woman in the whole of Lireya? Her father is also very handsome. She is a product of outstanding genes."

Prince Gamaru who drank a few glasses of wine cannot take his eyes off her. Earlier, while dancing with her, he already expressed his intention of pursuing her. However, she just looked at him blankly as if she did not understand what told her. He was perplexed. It was the first time he told a woman that he will woo her. In all his teenage and adult life, women were always the ones who pursue him.

He looked at the man who was walking beside her. He knew that he was the business tycoon Marx Skylar from Usturia. He was the one who saved her and brought her back from the island.

’Is he interested in her? Why is he escorting her? Does her father approve of him?’ He thought as he pursed his lips.

Whatever. He did not have the intention to let Amaya out of her grasp. He must have her as his princess consort. It was a good thing that he has not married a princess consort yet though he already have three concubines.

Marx and Amaya finally reached the table where Amaya was supposed to sit with her grandfather and daddy Ibarra, along with the kings of Albania and Lupanya. The kingdom of Lupanya was represented by its first prince, Gamaru. His father has gotten sick and could not travel.

"Your eldest daughter is very beautiful Prince Ibarra. Look at all the men looking at her like they will grovel at her feet to worship her." King Hebrio sized up Amaya who was still standing beside Marx after giving the traditional bow as a sign of respect to the kings.

"I remembered we had an agreement before Duncan. I brought my firstborn here when he was seven and your granddaughter was just two years old. We agreed that they will be engaged when the time is right." King Hebrio looked at Amaya with great interest.

"The right time has come!"
