His Majesty Philip, who was sitting in the main seat, was already drunk at this time. When he saw his wife entering the venue, he waved for her to come over.
"Your Majesty, you shouldn't drink so much." Cleopatra said angrily, "It's not good for your liver."
"That's fine." Philip smiled and waved his hand. "Even Dionysus would be extra tolerant of a banquet held to celebrate a victory in the war."
(Dionysus, the god of wine in ancient Cyrene mythology)
Peggy was still quietly eating her pudding when a Macedonian noble came up with a glass of wine to start a conversation.
However, His Highness Alexander had a gloomy face and stared at the main seat of the banquet without saying a word. In order to ease the embarrassment, the Macedonian noble could only turn around and talk to Peggy.
"I heard that Miss Andrea is from Athens? I also studied at the University of Athens, but my major was rhetoric and film studies. What does Miss Andrea think of the work "Trojan Horse"?"
Paige put down her fork and grinned at him.
"Uh." The Macedonian noble immediately felt that this was a subtle sarcasm. After all, Macedonia's cultural level was far inferior to that of Sirius, so it was natural that the other party disdained to discuss art with him.
"I think this work..." He gritted his teeth and continued to talk about his understanding of film and art.
Paige continued to smile.
In the face of her polite smile, the Macedonian nobleman finally gave in and left in shame.
Paige went on to eat her pudding.
Suddenly, Alexander stood up angrily, immediately attracting the attention of the entire venue.
"What did you say, Your Majesty?" he demanded through gritted teeth.
King Philip had drunk too much, and he subconsciously replied in surprise: "What's wrong? I asked your stepmother to take care of herself. After all, she is pregnant with the heir to the Kingdom of Macedonia..."
"He is your heir, so what do you think I am? A bastard? You despicable bastard!" Alexander was furious and picked up the wine glass in front of him and threw it at him.
The wine glass hit King Philip's nose directly with a loud clang. His Majesty's nose suddenly swelled up and two lines of nosebleed flowed. The nobles and bureaucrats below were so scared that they all stood up.
"Rebellious son!" King Philip became furious after having his wine glass smashed in public. He grabbed the iron bowl next to him and threw it hard.
Alexander drew his sword and slashed it away.
King Philip also drew the long sword of the guard beside him and was about to come over to kill Alexander, but he tripped over the chair under his feet and only managed to avoid falling to the ground thanks to the guard's quick support.
"Look!" Alexander laughed at him loudly, "A king who is about to sweep across the East can't even jump over a chair!"
King Philip was so angry that he could only throw the sword in his hand, but it was still chopped away accurately by Alexander.
The sound of metal colliding with each other made a clanging sound, which woke up Peggy who was still eating pudding.
The latter looked up blankly at Alexander and King Philip who were on the verge of a fight, and then he seemed to realize something.
Then she grabbed Alexander's arm and pulled him outside without saying a word.
