As they spoke, the two entered the banquet hall.
Given Zhao Guang's current status and the energy of his own territory, these preparations were always ready. With just one command, a large-scale banquet could be arranged in less than half an hour.
What Zhao Guang hadn't anticipated was Caris and Aleya locking horns as soon as Caris had walked in.
"I didn't expect to see Beastmen here, but it makes sense. Given our Empire's culture and heritage, your primitive Beastman lifestyle simply cannot compare, and naturally you're drawn to our side."
Caris had always known that there were Beastmen in Zhao Guang's territory, but she had never encountered those at the higher echelons.
Now that she had, Caris didn't have a very good impression of Aleya, of course. She was unaware of Aleya's relationship with Zhao Guang, otherwise she would never have openly confronted her.
