So calm and regal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Queen Francesca looked like a goddess in that gold dress!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prince Marcellus and Prince Cedric are so handsome!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, a group of boys sighed. \"Princess Athine is stunning...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone in the crowd shouted, \"Why can’t we see the maids? I heard the Armand household is full of beauties!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughter followed as the feast began in earnest across the nation. Tables were piled high with food and drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Man, being part of Armand really has its perks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No kidding. No hunger, no war...just peace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And have you seen our tech? We’re decades ahead of anyone else!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marcellus, Cedric, and Heres rose to their feet, clapping. Aelius and Athine stood hand in hand, their smiles soft and proud as they watched their mothers beaming beside their father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Javier just smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heh... success. Good to see Mother smiling like that. And wow... look at the old man. Didn’t know that dried plum could smile like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nudged Marcellus, then Cedric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your turn next. Hehehe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh, shut up, little brother,\" Marcellus grumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What, nervous?\" Javier wiggled his eyebrows with a sly grin before turning and poking Heres in the side. \"And you, Brother Heres... how’s that brat...ahem...Kliatana?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little brother... just focus on the celebration,\" Heres said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? It’s just feasting after this. Don’t forget your wedding day is the same as Marcellus and Cedric’s.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\" Heres smiled, his gaze drifting to Kliatana beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blergh! Stop eyeing her. It’s not like that brat’s going anywhere.\" Javier grinned slyly, wiggling his eyebrows toward Kliatana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kliatana smiled politely on the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But inside her mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ugh! This little... Just play nice... breathe... smile...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she saw how wide Javier’s sly smirk was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kliatana brow twitch but maintain her gentle, serene expression and smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just you wait, you cheeky prince. I’ll get you back when no one’s looking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garius stood facing the mana cam, glass raised. Crystal caught the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept the hall, over his wives, his children, his allies, the staff moving quietly in the background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To family,\" he said, voice low but clear. \"Not only by blood. By choice. By loyalty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Francesca, Garcinia, Phenelopie, Eridith. \"To the women who have been my foundation. My peace. My strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then to his children: Marcellus, straight-backed; Cedric, grinning; Heres, steady; Aelius, hand in Athine’s; Athine, glowing; and Javier, watching quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To the next generation. May you build upon what we’ve protected, without fighting the wars we fought.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To my sons. You are not just my heirs. You are Armand’s future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes softened on Athine. \"And to Athine... you have always been this family’s heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted the glass higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But a king is nothing without his people. This feast is not for us alone. It is for every farmer, merchant, knight, and child who calls Armand home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brief look toward the mana cam. A silent nod to all watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So raise your glasses, not just as a family, but as a nation. To Armand. To peace. To tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every glass in the hall lifted. A murmured chorus drifted through the open windows, echoing from squares and homes across the land:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To Armand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Javier met his father’s eyes and gave a slight, genuine nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The celebration went on, the feast unfolding in a warm hum of conversation and laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Javier sat at his table with Liana, Gloria, and the three princesses: Felicia, Mimi, and Delya. He couldn’t help but smile as he took in Liana and Gloria, both had changed out of their maid uniforms into elegant dresses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehehe... It’s rare to see you two in anything but a maid dress or nightwear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young master~ eat your meal,\" Liana said gently, setting a plate of roast meat before him and drizzling it with his favorite sauce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gloria filled his wine glass with a soft smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felicia moved to help, but Liana stopped her with a graceful shake of her head. \"Pardon me, Your Royal Highness... please, just sit and enjoy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"L...Liana!\" Felicia hissed quietly. \"We agreed not to use titles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No can do, Princess~ We are in public.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you and Gloria are Queen Mylezra’s nieces. Doesn’t that make you royal too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Gloria replied smoothly, refilling Javier’s glass. \"But we are still Prince Javier’s personal maids.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides,\" Liana added softly, \"no one knows Gloria and I are Queen Mylezra’s nieces except His Majesty, King Garius, and the Armand family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Gloria agreed, her voice just above a whisper. \"Even among the elves, only our closest family knows of our relation. And we are only her nieces, since our father is merely a relative of the queen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liana met Felicia’s gaze gently but firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, Princess... please don’t lower your standing for our sake. And don’t tarnish your image as Princess of the Beastkin Nation. Don’t forget, your family is here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mou!\" Felicia pouted, crossing her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mimi happily devoured her meat with a contented hum, while Delya quietly nudged her vegetables to the side of her plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felicia puckered her lips and mumbled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmmph! I know that’s just your excuse so you can enjoy serving our husband while I can’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liana chuckled and took a seat beside Javier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well... you’re not wrong~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gloria sat on his left, smiling gently. \"Ara~ Don’t be jealous, Princess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felicia stabbed the meat on her plate. \"Hmph! You two already had your sweet moment with him, and I’m still waiting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Javier just smiled, watching his future wives bicker fondly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he noticed the main table—where his father, mothers, King Lioness, King Veldrac, their queens, and Mylezra were seated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alf approached Garius and whispered something in his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, shit... I’m sure this means something’s up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Javier kept smiling as he ate, but inside, his mind raced:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gihhh!!! I’m sure this means trouble for me. That fool King Kimar... or some other noble from the Human Kingdom lands. Why can’t they just leave us alone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was going to enjoy my peaceful life... enjoy my harem... And just by the way Father smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m sure it’s going to be my job again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>( End Of Chapter )\u003C\u002Fp>",1056,"2026-06-02T11:13:37.638Z",1,"novelbin.me","bd7ab6345b19ef78851cd28c9fce038c2e1c13a61ee5d315fae6ceff55caea21","reborn-as-noble-chapter-988","reborn-as-noble-chapter-986",1313,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-as-noble-cover.jpg"]
