I Got Isekai'd, Well Shyt! Vol. 1, 2, and 3

Vol.2 The Banquet.

Rya, Quinus, and their group finally arrive at the bustling dining hall. The Baron, Hajdah, and a swarm of diligent servants are bustling around, ensuring everything is perfect. In addition to that, several other distinguished dwarven nobles are also present. It's quite a sight to behold – this dining hall is one of the rare places where human customs are adopted, featuring tables, chairs, plates, and silverware instead of the traditional dwarven methods of using the floor. Rya and her friends are escorted to their seats by one of the servants.

As the group enters the room, a servant swiftly approaches Rya, gracefully taking her cloak as she strides in with confidence.

The Baron looks up and smiles at the group. "Ah, welcome! So, this is Lady Rya, which the Prince was speaking about? She's lovelier than I imagined." He then turns to Rya. "Pleased to meet you."

'Um?... D-Do I bow or something? I don't know noble etiquette?' Rya hesitated for a moment, then bowed her head slightly, unsure if she was doing it right.

"Oh? Ha ha ha! you don't have to bow to me, Lady Rya. We are equals here. Come! Sit down over here. We have plenty of food and wine!" Baron Zellin said with a smile.

Rya blushed, feeling a bit embarrassed by the gesture, while she overheard Quin and Dalia sharing a quiet laugh about it.

'Laugh it up, you two, because when you get to the table, I'm gonna embarrass the hell out of both of you,' the Dark Elf thought to herself.

The rest of the Minor Nobles couldn't help but notice the enigmatic Dark Elf and their curiosity was piqued. Despite their initial reservations, they were eager to engage in conversation with the Prince, each one hoping to win the favor of the future King of Fiafyr.

Rya could hear Quin talking under his breath when he saw all the noble dwarves hovering around them. "Well, looks like tonight's going to be a long night."

"It's not easy being popular sometimes. Hey, if you like, I can play the world's smallest violin for you?" Rya whispered back to Quin, causing him to shake his head and smirk.

"And second thought, I think that would help a lot," the prince replied, which caused Rya to burst out laughing, much to the surprise of the dwarves around them.

Rya didn't know why that sounded so funny to her in the first place, but she couldn't stop giggling, which caused Quin to laugh along with her. She felt more and more comfortable around Quin as time went on.

The dwarven nobles looked at the duo, wondering what could possibly be so funny. They didn't want to miss an opportunity to bond with the future king, so they began cracking jokes left and right, all of which were met with awkward silence or polite laughter from the rest of the table.

'Wow!... They aren't as afraid of me as I thought. That's good,' Rya thought happily as she sat down in her chair that was pulled out for her by Quin. She gladly accepted it as she sat at the table where all the nobles were while Dalia, Percy, and Sir George moved towards another table that was meant for wealthy guests.

Quin, seeing that Rya was seated, took his own chair and sat down beside her. The rest of the party followed suit.

'Man... I kind of know why some women hate chivalry, but I like it! Hehe! I wonder what else I could get Quin to do?... If he knew I was a guy, though, that would be a different story... Ah, whatever! I'll enjoy it while it lasts.'

Baron Zellin took his seat, and the servants began placing the food and wine in front of the group. There were plates of roasted beef, steaming bowls of potatoes and carrots, fresh greens and fruits, warm rolls, and a variety of other dishes.

Rya glanced at Quin, who flashed her a warm smile. She couldn't help but smile back. She was eager to see what he would do next, but she didn't want to interfere with his official duties.
