Great the dining hall of the palace was as belonging to the royals it did, close the bed chamber of the king and queen it laid. Decorated within with a large table that stretched far, possible for many to sit as also the court were meeted there at times and with statues of stones and gold that showed the pride of their palace. Onto the walls it was painted stories about their history, telling how great they had won battles in past as a lot had happened them. Curtains in red hanged down in front of the windows, showing the kingdom of Athens. To left laid the bedchamber, as to the front laid the throne room.

Daphne returned to the palace and instantly walked over into the Dining Hall, where she thought she probably would meet her husband. Hopefully the guard she already sent ahead had told him they had guests now to tend to, Stratos and his newly bought slave. They still were following her, a few metres behind, she could hardly estimate because she did not turn around.
"Alcander, are you here? I have brought some guests." She called out, and finally turned to Stratos. "Well, the dining hall. Pick yourself a seat, I believe that meal soon will be served, and my husband will accompany us." She explained in detail.

Charis stared around in wonder at the wealth and splendor. However she managed to keep her mouth from hanging open. She stood at the side of the room, close enough to be called on, but not so near as to be noticed of to be obtrusive.

As the queen had invited him to dine with her and the king he gladly had accepted, cause long had he been in love with her without telling although always had he agreed to what she offered. The slave girl he just had bought came along also, but was held some distance away as she was not important like others. Gentle he entered along, but waited as Daphne called out for her husband. He did not like the king as he were together with the woman he loved, however he understand nothing could be done against it.
When she told them to sit he so turned to do, he was glad to be there as not often men were invited to dine with his royals. "Thank you, my lady." He said and gentle sat down, waiting for the king and queen to sit down but wondering if he should invite his slave over even she was of lower rank.

As a voice in the halls could be heard of his queen Daphne entering the dining room, he sonly turned to look. Not long ago had he rested within their bedroom, though quickly rose as he heard the noises that appeared in distance. With gentle steps he walked threw the room, until he could see his wife and some friends close the table where they used to eat. It was nice to see his wife again, long had he missed her though were happy about her return."Greetings."He spoke out and then approached his wife, taking her hands in his as he watched her with a smile."So you brought guests for dinner today I see, well better with more company I believe."Alcander answered and slightly nodded to both her friends, before telling the servants to do ready the food.

Charis blushed bright scarlet and let her long black hair fall acrose her face as she stared at the ground. She was in the presance of the King of Athens. She looked at her dirty brown robe and tangled hair, painfully aware that she must look like some kind of animal. But then; she relected, thats all slaves were; animals to do their masters will.

Daphne smiled, walking towards Alcander when he finally appeared at the door. "Ah, there you are. Well, I believe our guests are hungry. Let us sit then, and await what delightfulness our cooks have prepared for today then." She spoke, before returning to the table once again, and sitting down on her own chair on the side of Alcander's.
Not soon after, the servants came in with fine metal plates on which the food lay, although it could not yet be seen because each plate was covered with a fitting bowl, set ontop and so would not let out the heat of the meal. These plates the servants now placed onto the head of the table, where Alcander, Daphne and their guests were to sit, and opened them. The finest pork was on one plate, roasted and already cut into thin pieces, ready to be taken, whilst on the other plates there were potatoes, but also other kinds of cooked vegetables, everything one only might wish to dream about.
